Anyway, BZB’s Bruce wears a mighty large grin on his face perpetually, while a voice actor (who is most definitely NOT Bruce Campbell) belts out an array of one-liners from famous zombie movies, If you don’t know who Bruce Campbell is, you shouldn’t be killing zombies, virtual or otherwise. In BZB, you play as Bruce, a guy who looks as close to Legendary B-movie icon Bruce Campbell as the production budget and design-brief would allow him to look. I think that sums it up: the game offers trivial rewards for an excruciatingly painful gameplay experience, and while fully understanding the pointlessness of said rewards, you just can’t stop playing I say again - ridiculous! But I had to press on just so that I could get that silver medal. Oh, and the pain! The pain in my right-hand was unbearable, so unbearable that it felt like my nerves had been ripped out, dipped in boiling-hot oil, used as a bungee-cord and put back into my arm again. At the end of this session, I actually had to sleep to get my sapped energy back - I don’t think I have ever had to sleep after playing a video game because I was tired. Phone calls, door bells and repeated instant-messenger alerts were ignored, thirst and hunger dismissed, and pain forgotten. During my first sitting, I played the game for five hours straight. And this addiction isn’t like being addicted to chocolate or the TV series Lost - it’s more like being addicted to crack cocaine (not that I would know anything about being addicted to cocaine, of course). Burn, Zombie Burn!’ is one of the most addictive video games ever developed.
