I’m a bit of an anomaly – I’d love to play a zombie game without actually looking at zombies because I am not a fan of horror. I tried Resident Evil 4 but I have to admit it was pretty creepy. Today I came across something that might help a freak like me out and it even allows for 2 people to play at the same time. Boxhead is a surprisingly fun and challenging game to play – you’re sort of like a Lego character fighting off zombies. The game gets more fun and challenging as more zombies come out and you get more weapons. Try it out, tell us if you think this game has longevity and let us know what your score is!

Guillermo took this picture in Porlamar, Venezuela where he found a “Google” shop. He comments:

“Google Shop: La Casa de la Lencería” (The House of Linens). Some people have no shame… I wonder what they were thinking.

Why leave decision making to yourself when you can leave it to luck and chance? It’s even more fun when all the outcomes are fun little zombie activities.

Most people in IT will find most of the suggestions rather common in their daily tasks… Moan, Plod, Hunt the Living and Eat Brains. Available for $4.95.
