Zombie Driver is a game I can sell to you on the title alone. Does driving around in a GTA1 and 2 esque overhead perspective killing hoards of zombies, either by running them down or shooting them, sound fun? If yes, go play it! If not... what's wrong with you?

I say that partially as a joke, but also because Zombie Driver is really that simple to recommend. It's an overhead driving game where you're given control of a wide amount of vehicles, a handful of swappable weapons strapped onto the roofs of said vehicles, and asked to go to town on the waves of zombies roaming the street. Occasionally you might need to escort some survivors, or be put in control of a different, mission exclusive vehicle, but it's the same song and dance across basically the whole game.

It's stupid simple and gets repetitive as all hell if you play for more than 15 minutes at a time... but goddamn if this isn't just the good arcade style fun I've needed to cheer myself up while dealing with a bad sickness recently. Really fun time overall; it's not gonna blow minds, but sometimes a game's just all it needs to be, and Zombie Driver definitely is.
