Zombies, Run! Will Force You To Care About Exercise

I play a lot of video games. But I don’t play a lot of video games that force me to go outside and run around my neighborhood. That’s the appeal of Zombies, Run! a game for iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android that’s more of a podcast than any sort of interactive entertainment. It’s a game…

I’m Pretty Sure This Star Trek Video Game Trailer Breaks the Prime Directive
