GAMES: DEADLIGHT

DEADLIGHT

Side-scrolling mixed with zombies mixed with fantastic visuals equals a damn good time. Deadlight ($20) is set in mid-'80s Seattle, and has you playing as a man named Randall who has been separated from his family right as a virus has spread throughout the world, turning most folks into "shadows", which is really just another word for the undead. Using nothing more than an axe, revolver, pistol, shotgun, and your bare fists, it's a quest worthy of classic consoles — but with much better graphics.
