''Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys is a new game with an interesting concept for gameplay. Instead of having one character to work through places, you have three different ones, each with their own skills. You'll have to learn how to master all the zombies to save the world from the Brain Thingys.
Teenage Zombies is as comical as the name sounds. All the cut scenes are done in comic book style, complete with a narrator who sounds like he's straight out of the original Batman series. The sounds are quite amusing as well. I especially like the zombie talking as you assemble him.
As entertaining and bright as the narration is, the graphics are quite the opposite. The characters are very simple in appearance. They did at least make all the zombies look different. Lori "Lefty" Lopez is the most zombie-like in that she does the normal zombie shuffle to move. Zack "Half-Pipe" Boyd is also zombie-like, since he is missing the lower half of his body. Luckily he can use his skate board to move around. Finnigan "Fins" Magee has a very interesting look. He has tentacles on his back.''

Check out these child-appropriate titles, available for a variety of platforms (but mostly handhelds). All are well reviewed and carry a maximum ESRB rating of E10+ (suitable for everyone 10 and older)."
VGGEN: "OK, someone out there must have really loved 1985's Return of the Living Dead.
I remember being singularly unimpressed by the mid-80's comedy-horror hybrid (which spawned similar genre bastardizations such as the immortal "C.H.U.D. 2: Bud the C.H.U.D"), but unlike most kids weaned on crappy 80's slasher flicks, I never felt this particular mélange was meant to gel. Comedy is comedy, horror is horror, and never the twain should meet."
From the article: " Zombies get a bad rap. The majority of them just can't help their innate, ravenous urges. I'm sure if they had a choice in the manner, we'd see quite a few vegetarian, or even vegan, members of the Undead. You don't get mad at lions for chasing cute zebras, or vultures from scavenging off the zebras' carcass once the lions are done.
Quite a few video games even portray some more rational zombies. So since not all zombies are evil, we shouldn't instantly condemn or fear them. Zombies are simply a part of the circle of life, and we should accept the good along with bad. Besides, if someone isn't able to outwit/outrun a zombie, then maybe that person deserves to get eaten."
