So, zombies and aliens. If you're a right-thinking human being, you've got a lot of love for both. If you're not a right-thinking human being, we suggest you turn back now, because Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys!, as the title suggests, has plenty of both.

So, zombies and aliens. If you're a right-thinking human being, you've got a lot of love for both. If you're not a right-thinking human being, we suggest you turn back now, because Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys!, as the title suggests, has plenty of both. It also has a helping of teenage stuff. You've been warned.

It's a DS game that draws on comics and B-movie retro sci-fi for a dollop of side-scrolling fun. Earth, alas, has been invaded by (the clue's in the title!) Brain Thingys. Fortunately for our trio of undead heroes, they're (another clue in the title!) zombies. What do zombies like to munch on? Brains! You can guess what happens next.

No? You can't? Let us spell it out for you. The game takes the form of a side-scrolling platformer. Players will need to swap between the teenage zombies - which each have their own special abilities - to make it through the levels.

Along the way, players will encounter a host of minigames which make use of the Wii's unique features - including ZAPS! (Zombie Assembly Pop-up Screen) in which players will quickly throw together a zombie to regain 'unhealth' points.

Plus: did mention the zombies and aliens!? << less
