The 1-Upper: Boxhead: 2-Play Rooms

POSTED: Wednesday, March 26, 2008, 3:56 AM

When Legos attack

So, we right quite a bit about zombies here at the 1-Upper, but I think that's because they're the one life form you can plow through with an Uzi and walk away feeling OK. I mean, they are after your brains and all, right? And you need those to like think and stuff.

Anyhow, the Boxhead games plop you into the role of John Bambo, and guess what ... he's just like Rambo, only boxier. Boxhead: 2-Play Rooms also introduces a few new characters, who are also boxier representatives of movie roles, like Bin and Bonn. If you're familiar at all with any of the earlier games, it's more of the same: kill of an endless slew of zombies and demons all the while upgrading your equipment to fun stuff like cluster grenades, which, I have to say, are the most satisfying things I've ever virtually thrown at someone.

The great part about 2-Play Rooms is the co-op feature, hence the name. This time around, you can have a friend join you as you blast away. Just be careful where you throw those grenades, as they can cause residual damage if you aren't careful.

Go play Boxhead here.
