Touch Arcade: Zombie games may not be all the rage right now with gamers, since we've been relentlessly bombarded with them over the past few years, but that might change again with Extraction: Project Outbreak [$0.99], the latest game published by Chillingo and developed by ShortRound Games. A top-down shooter with loads of unlockables, a well done control scheme, and great visuals, Extraction looks to offer something for nearly everyone, as long as you can get past a mild case of monotony in the later levels.
Into shooter games? Ever wanted to play shooter games with only one finger? Extraction: Project Outbreak by ShortRound offers an interesting game concept. The first impression of this game may be, "oh, another zombie game," but you will soon change your mind. In Extraction, you will play as a military contractor to assist the extermination of infected people. Experiments on humans caused an outbreak, turning everyone into a zombie. You will be assigned missions such as rescuing scientists and repairing turrets. Each mission has different objectives, and completing them will earn you credits, which can be spent towards unlocking and upgrading weapons.
