Zombies Roll into Town on Sphero

I spent the weekend relaxing at home and killing Zombies on my living room floor.  Not its nothing to do with my PS3 but the new Sphero game, “Rolling Dead”

Yep Zombies, you can’t get away from them at the moment.  With movies like World War Z out, zombies seem to be flavour of the month.   Little did I realise that I was going to be having my own Zombie adventure right in my living room ( and scaring the cat in the process.) Sorry Mr Tiggles!

My day started like most any, barring a small wooden chest arriving at my door.  Opening it up hesitantly I was greeted by a disembodied finger and a blood soaked “Sphero” ball.  For those of you who don’t know, Sphero is a robotic remote controlled ball that you can control using an app on your phone.  Its pretty amazing and a lot of fun to use.

Credit to the guys at Sphero for coming up with the coolest ever limited edition press packaging for Rolling Dead – complete with a severed Zombie finger and blood stained Sphero ball.  I had a frightened chill down my spine before I even started playing.

The game is strangely magic as you are presented with a view of your living room (or office) through the camera of your phone, when suddenly you see Zombies start crawling all around it.  Its up to you to use your super powered Sphero to roll around the living room and kill the zombies for good.  The game has all the arcade favourites like getting more ammo and occasionally you can earn enough powerups to turn your Sphero into a flaming power ball.

This game is loads of fun to play and really addictive and no matter where you are, its really funny to be playing in my home or office and protecting it from zombies.
