What happens when you combine day trading zombies, explosions, and automatic weapons? You get Daytraders of the Dead. This game is part Smash TV, part Dead Rising and all awesome. The concept is very simple – zombies come and you shoot them. More zombies come, and you shoot them too, and so on. There is a “story mode” as well as “survival mode.” The only real difference being that the story mode has levels, while the survival mode is a constant wave of ever increasing quantities of zombies. There are also a handful of weapons to aid in your survival including a minigun & a sawed-off shotgun.
Power Up!
There are also some very helpful power-ups like a shield and a 2x power-up that doubles fire rate as well as reload rate. The most entertaining part of the game is the destructive power-ups such as the “Multi-Rocket,” which shoots a 360 degree ring of rockets out at the waves of zombies, a “Nuke,” which has the obvious effect of blowing the crap out of the brain-hungry day traders, and the “Hip-No Disc,” which shoots a spiraling wave of razor-sharp CDs at your foes.
Cleared Hot!
Another entertaining aspect of the game is the air strike. Talk about danger-close; a jet (which appears to be an F-15) carpet bombs straight across the screen, leaving behind it a clean streak due to the incendiary affects of its ordinance. No blood, no guts, just white hot pavement. On occasion, instead of the jet, the “air strike” causes a school bus to plow through the hoards for no particular reason. The bus absolutely devastates everything in its path leaving blood, guts, money & power-ups in its wake. 
This game has nothing to do with Day Trading, aside from its name, but it’s good clean fun if you need a break from staring at your charts and scouring the news for stocks. I promise I won’t post any more game reviews. Well, I might do one about M.U.L.E… Here’s a screen shot from my highest scoring game. You can see my dude’s brain and eyeball there since apparently zombies toss their meal in the air before devouring it. 
How did I get such an amazing score? Two words – “super shotgun.” Click here to play. Can you beat my high score? If so, post it below in the comments.
