Zpocalypse 2: Defend the Burbs
PSI GNEZB01, $59.95

bombed us, and we were sure it was over. Somehow, I don`t know how or why, we
survived the onslaught and escaped the pit of hell that was the urban
wasteland. They always say the suburbs have it better, right? They weren`t
hit nearly as hard; weve found a sturdy house. It still has a roof and
everything. We`re hungry, tired, and it`s a struggle to hold back the dead
from their nightly assaults, but we`re still here, we`re not going
down...yet. You fled the city for the suburbs. It sounded like a good plan,
but you`re still fighting for survival in Zpocalypse 2: Defend the Burbs! A
new, standalone, cooperative, zombie survival game set in a post-apocalyptic
wasteland, players in Zpocalypse 2: Defend the Burbs each control their own
squad of survivors equipped to the teeth with weapons, food, items, and hope.
