Killblockmen I and II (kinda)

reeeeally short post today, guys.  Fact is, Killblockmen is insubstantial and its sequel doesn't work...at least not for me at the moment.

So, let's talk about Killblockmen. It's an arena shooter where you're armed with a tommy gun with infinite ammo and ordered to kill blockmen.  Sounds fun?  Well, it's certainly not the next big blockbuster, but simplicity is bliss, right?

The problem with Killblockmen is that there's no variety.  All you do is fire into a crowd of blockmen before they reach you.  They can only use melee attacks, so this is kind of like a zombie shooter.  You know how in Left for Dead the zombies can easily catch you from behind without you noticing?  Well, take that and multiply the frustration by about a million, because there's no way to shove the blockmen off and only a few hits are enough to drop you.

It's a competently put together level, but not a very good game.  I think of it as Painkiller but without all the creativity.  If that sounds fun to you, give it a shot.

That's all I got for now.  Until next time, stay genocidal.
