Dollar Dash (PSN): "A Money Grubbing Multiplayer Experience"

Many of you have likely already read reviews on the "XBLA" version of "Dollar Dash", but I'm here to offer the PS3 gamers a review since the game was just released on the Playstation Network. Dollar Dash in essence is a collaborative creation between Kalypso Media, and Candygun Games. You'll likely be familiar with Kalypso's work, because of my previous review. Candygun Games on the other hand might not ring a bell. A couple of years ago, early into my gaming journalism career I reviewed a game called "Dead Block". As you can guess it was 'Candygun Games' who created that interesting zombie survival game. It seems that this developer has once again returned to the gaming scene with their signature animation style, and fun filled gameplay designs. Their latest creation (Dollar Dash) was a bit of a risk taker though. The developer opted to go solely multiplayer with the game, and included no story mode or campaign. I think they had a lot of confidence in their product, but whether or not that payed off is yet to be seen. Regardless of this I'm here to give you the lowdown on this madcap money maker, and intend on being honest with my review. Without further adieu let us get this show on the road!

Dead Block (XBLA): "A Rock & Roll Zombie Survival Game"

Many of the gamers I've grown up with, and have made friends with have enjoyed some type of zombie game. My own obsession started with the old horror movies from back in the day, and was later rekindled by the introduction of the Resident Evil series. From that point on I have enjoyed many zombie games on many different consoles. Nowadays you can find the inclusion of zombies in about every form of media there is. On July 6, 2011 Digital Reality Ltd., and Candygun Games released a Zombie game that brought back that wholesome zombie goodness that had sparked my interest as a young lad. Their game which is titled 'Dead Block' takes old and new zombie survival elements and combines it to make a video game creation that pays tribute to to all that is zombie. I was extremely excited when they told me I was going to be able to do a review on the full game. Once I got the code from them I didn't hesitate to get started.
