There was a time, long ago, when budget games with somewhat iffy gameplay could enjoy some success with people taking a chance on a bargain. Back then titles like Frontline Zed may have deserved some modest success. Now though? Truly, even if on a week-to-week basis terrific new budget titles may not be showing up there’s a substantial backlog of games for under $10 (even before sales) that just about any gamer should enjoy and get some quality play out of. Frontline Zed dangles the carrot of shooting zombies, but it’s honestly in about the least accurate and engaging way possible. You’re defending a modest barrier against successive waves of zombies, initially alone and armed with a pretty crappy pistol but with success you’ll be able to move to new areas as well as explore the existing ones in hopes of finding other survivors (who are generally just shy of worthless IMHO) or some better weaponry. Now lather, rinse, and repeat. There’s some modest room for strategy, trying to angle your shots so you have more than one potential target in your bullet’s path, but in general it’s a dull slog that isn’t likely to engage you for very long if much at all.
