Killing zombies never gets old, but we cannot exist on flesh eating freaks alone. Thankfully, Chillingo stepped in with its recent iOS shooter, Bugs Wars, an App that throws a mess of aliens onto the screen and challenges us to blast these suckers to bits using a variety of futuristic weapons. If nuking your iPad sounds like fun, this is $1.99 well spent.

Mobile games have been dominated by quite a narrow range of genres, which is not surprising, given the limitations and demands of the format. A vast, sprawling role-playing epic is not only hard to fit on to a phone, it also doesn't correspond with the demand for short, satisfying snippets of gameplay. It's pleasing, then, to see developers thinking carefully about ways to develop existing gaming themes.
GameZebo - While most games would rather choose between being a tower defense or a shooter, Bugs Wars combines the genres in excellent form.
"Invasions are a common theme within games of any type. Maybe it’s all there to prepare us for the eventual day that aliens from another world come to get us. Who knows. While I wait for that day though, I’m going to enjoy casual gems like Bugs Wars." -148
