Mike writes, "In spite of its flaws, I had a hell of a fun time playing Zack Zero. It's like the big, dumb Summer blockbuster movies that come out every year. Let's be honest -- there's nothing here that's going to warrant discussion for our Game of the Year, however this game will give you a few hours of outstanding and undemanding entertainment. If you have the itch for something like that then Zack Zero is reporting for duty to scratch it."

Zack Zero (ZZ) is a 2.5D platformer with a slight ‘metroidvania’ twist – upgradeable power suit, 2D puzzle solving, and difficult boss fights. Although that sounds insanely cool on paper, it’s infuriatingly frustrating in practise - not to mention glitchy.
