What's the point in coming up with some meaningless name for an invading race of alien beings? If a load of blobs resembling angry brains came floating down from outer space and started using ray-guns and mind-control on everyone on your street, the last thing you'd be thinking about is naming them. 'Thingys' works fine when your main concern is sending them back from where they came.
No screenshots of the game have emerged as yet – just a teaser trailer which you can view after the jump.

Check out these child-appropriate titles, available for a variety of platforms (but mostly handhelds). All are well reviewed and carry a maximum ESRB rating of E10+ (suitable for everyone 10 and older)."
VGGEN: "OK, someone out there must have really loved 1985's Return of the Living Dead.
I remember being singularly unimpressed by the mid-80's comedy-horror hybrid (which spawned similar genre bastardizations such as the immortal "C.H.U.D. 2: Bud the C.H.U.D"), but unlike most kids weaned on crappy 80's slasher flicks, I never felt this particular mélange was meant to gel. Comedy is comedy, horror is horror, and never the twain should meet."
From the article: " Zombies get a bad rap. The majority of them just can't help their innate, ravenous urges. I'm sure if they had a choice in the manner, we'd see quite a few vegetarian, or even vegan, members of the Undead. You don't get mad at lions for chasing cute zebras, or vultures from scavenging off the zebras' carcass once the lions are done.
Quite a few video games even portray some more rational zombies. So since not all zombies are evil, we shouldn't instantly condemn or fear them. Zombies are simply a part of the circle of life, and we should accept the good along with bad. Besides, if someone isn't able to outwit/outrun a zombie, then maybe that person deserves to get eaten."
