Game: Zombie Tycoon 2: Brainhov's Revenge

Zombie Tycoon 2: Brainhov's Revenge is a sort-of-cute, vaguely-horrific and highly-streamlined real-time strategy game that wraps you in the lab coat of Orville Tycoon, a lab assistant who betrayed his mentor, Dr. Archibald Brainhov, stole his zombie-making formula and set off to conquer the world with hordes of subservient undead.But as you might surmise from the title, Brainhov isn't going to put up with this kind of guffola without a fight, and so it's Shamblers vs. Ferals (vs. police, the army, some mutant monsters and a whole bunch of hillbillies) in an all-out battle for supremacy."Familiarity with the original Zombie Tycoon (which, for the record, I don't have) is handy for understanding certain points about the sequel, like why Dr. Brainhov is a zombie and what Orville did to make him so angry. But if you can manage to avoid getting too hung up on the finer points of the plot - and believe me, that shouldn't be a problem - then Zombie Tycoon 2 works perfectly well on its own. Essentially, it comes down to this: There's a zombie holocaust, it's your fault, and now it's time to dig into the buffet o' brains.
