We were a bit giddy when we first heard about DS title Teenage Zombies Attack of the Alien Brain Thingys, hoping it would be reminiscent of Zombies Ate My Neighbors, but based on this trailer, it doesn’t really seem to be. The music and art style are fun, but gameplay looks mildly ordinary. It’s just one quick look, though, and there’s still a lot of potential for quirkiness. Enthusiasm somewhat dampened, but still there.
