The Last Stand returns for titularly improbable second helping

Though it's not a huge leap forward graphically, there are some significant improvements, especially to the daylight time-management part of the game. Now you'll be able to move from city to city as you try to survive the zombie apocalypse with your ragtag group of survivors, deciding exactly how much time (and where) they'll hunt for new weapons and others still among the living. Traps have also been added, which give the combat a little more depth. If you haven't checked it out (especially if you haven't played the first game) you absolutely need to.

What's next? They're going to make a second Final Fantasy game?

I remember the original was pretty fun. I'm not sure you "absolutely need to" play it, but a great way to kill time at work.

Holy shit, I love Last Stand. I thought the guy said he was going to make something else (a boxing game) before Last Stand II?
Oh well. I still soiled my leggings.

There was a fighting game in development, but after hearing a game developer speaker @ a conference; he changed gears and started working on the sequel to The Last Stand.
There was a short article about his other game here:

The (Second To) Last Stand.

i really liked it, but 3 things almost broke the game.
1. shots sometimes go through one person and hit the zombie behind them. annoying when their attacking your barricade.
2.AI has no interest in shooting people off barricade, fairly narrow shoot range.
3. no ability to move survivors, to the middle or sides.

ha! i've been playing this all day at work, didn't even see this post until now.

I found the problem with playing these games at work is that you click way more than a regular non-game-playing worker, possibly arousing suspicion.
Benny @ Apr 28th 2008 4:59PM
This is really fun :D
Though after about 7 days there's not much more to do.
ScottG13 @ Apr 28th 2008 5:01PM
Awesome! Last Stand is pretty great. Glad they made a sequel. There are several pretty interesting Zombie Attack type games.
Lone Starr @ Apr 28th 2008 5:04PM
YEESSSSS.

HighFiveJesus @ Apr 28th 2008 5:58PM

HighFiveJesus @ Apr 28th 2008 6:08PM
oh ok there is
Einhanderkiller @ Apr 28th 2008 7:48PM
The AI is terrible.

They are mindless zombies in a flash game, were you expecting squad based tactics where they flush you out with grenades, though that would be pretty awesome.
The first one is one of the best flash games around.

I actually just discovered this series yesterday at work. For a flash game it's a lot of fun. Sure I have my complaints but I don't expect much from free flash games. A good time waster when I should be working.
