GANG! GRAB HARMANZ! HARM BANG BANG MANZ!
*clears throat*
What I meant was...
Urban DeadWho here plays?
If you've never heard of Urban dead, it's "A free, low-tech Massively Multi-Player Web-Based Zombie Apocalypse."
Free meaning it will take you like, five seconds to sign up and start playing, and it won't cost you anything.
Low-tech means that basically... there aren't any graphics, besides the map. BUT don't let that scare you away. It's mostly text based, and it's a load of fun, so if you can READ, you should give it a try before brushing it off. I wish I had back when I first heard of it.
Massively Multi-player means we can all play it TOGETHER. WOO.
But by far, the best keyword in there is Zombie Apocalypse.
When you create a character, you get to choose from several character classes. Doctors, soldiers, scientists, cops, firemen, consumers, etc. OR you can embrace your inner zombie, and play as a corpse, who's only "job" is to eat humans.
As a human, you'll spend your time hunting for zombies to kill or revive in order to build up experience points to buy a wide range of versatile skills, and at the end of the day, trying to find a building that's been barricaded strong enough to resist the zombie hoard. Because the game doesn't end when you log off-- you can be attacked in your sleep. Adds an element of danger, and more importantly, strategy.
As a zombie, your life will be simpler: banging on barricades and eating "harmanz." The more harmanz you eat, the stronger you become, and the more strange, supernatural abilities you pick up.
You might choose to pick a side and fight for it, or embrace your dual nature and play both sides.
In any case, it's a great game, and requires little commitment-- the way it's set up, if you have one character, you can only play for about 15 minutes a day before running out of "action points" and seeking shelter.
So if you want a fun, casual gaming experience in which you can fight against the shambling dead, or unleash your inner zombie, this is it.
Okay, shameless plug OVER!
