FirstPlay 009: Full Contents

The zombie T.Rex appearing here has nothing to do with an undead Marc Bolan. Sorry to disappoint the fans of 70s glam rock in TSA’s readership.  Instead it is one of the highlights of this week’s ‘free’ minis title.  Rocking a glamorous score of 7/10 in nofi’s review, Age of Zombies “is a real laugh.  It’s expertly produced, oozes charisma and energy and the characterisation is sublime”.  At the time nofi said he would have preferred a lower price and that is exactly what this week’s FirstPlay provides.

So the FirstPlay team have finally caught up with some reviews, got their FIFA content ‘wrong’, I have got to “check again later” to see about downloading Age of Zombies and watching Afterburner fast-forwarded seems to have altered my perception of reality.  Bit of a mixed week, but anything you fancy out of that lot?
