Dead Panic for the iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review

If the name Dead Panic sounds familiar, we also talked about it in a recent episode of DoubleTap. Dead Panic is a top down shooter with a healthy dose of strategy thrown in. You are attempting to ward off droves of zombies. To do it,  you strategically place a number of soldiers who fire automatically on zombies who enter their firing range.

In the campaign mode, you move from level to level after defeating a seemingly unending number of zombies. But if you want to see what its like to truly ward off unlimited enemies, fire up the survival mode. In this mode, the gameplay is the same, except you earn money for each zombie kill which can then be turned into things like restored health, extra soldiers, etc. Using the OpenFeint engine, the game displays your high scores and those of others, and you can invite specific players to your game. My hat's off to those high scorers. There are some zombie killing pros out there.

The game deftly combines shooting and strategy to create one of those stressful (in a good way) edge of your seat gaming experiences that's easy to learn.

DoubleTap Episode Three

We take a look at a few Halloween-appropriate holdovers this week: Dead Panic, and Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor. We talk about Apple's app milestone, and no hip chat would be complete without mentioning "The Shack."

And for the record, we were looking at the camera, so I'm not sure why it looks like we're watching something way off to the side in this episode. Don't let that distract you from what has to be one of our top three shows so far...
