Whack the Dead (not the moles) on your iPhone, Mac and PC

People familiar with mole whacking games may initially have trouble with Phelios’ Whack the Dead, since moles, zombies and people will pop up from the holes. The goal in the new iPhone, iPod Touch, Mac and Windows game is to whack zombies who pop up from the graves for points. To trip players up though, moles and normal humans may also pop up from the holes.

Depending on which version you choose, Whack the Dead may even be free. The iPhone and iPod Touch version of the game (available through the iTunes App Store) costs $2.99. The Mac and Windows versions, however, are available as free downloads through the I Play Phone Games site. Its a good marketing idea – test the game for free, and if people like it, they’ll buy it.

I decided to give Whack the Dead a quick test run. Its a neat little novelty. I mean, you can’t expect greatness from a “Whack-a-Mole” clone with zombies as the antagonists, but it’s a fun diversion for the Halloween season. If you’re tired of playing Minesweeper or Solitaire on your computer, its a nice, free alternative.
