Anyone interest in playing a videogame focused on fixed asset accounting? I didn’t think so, so it’s fortunate that Touch the Dead, the latest in Nintendo DS action/survival horror, is exactly the opposite of such a boring concept.
If you think Touch the Dead is a porn video, you’d be wrong… and sick. Nope, it’s your basic zombie-killing shooter only instead of shooting a fun, you touch the screen to off the nasty brain-starved buggers. While it lacks the storyline appeal of Silent Hill, Fatal Frame or Resident Evil, Touch the Dead does incorporate solid use of the DS touch-screen into the mix.
It’s not as chilling as the best survival horror franchises out there, but at least Touch the Dead points the way on how to bring the genre to a handheld platform.
