Lollipop Chainsaw

Lollipop Chainsaw is the sickly sweet hack and slash game brought to you by Suda 51, and is the result of expertly combining the grotesque with the comical. This elaborate game has everything you could ever ask for: blood, gore, and a zombie slaying cheerleader. Come for the party, stay for the zombies, this is Lollipop Chainsaw.

You play as our protagonist Juliet Starling, a perky and upbeat eighteen year old cheerleader at her high school San Romero in California. Her deep, dark secret? She is a zombie hunter sworn to destroy the undead; her family has been fighting zombies for generations, so when Juliet turns up to school to find it in the middle of a zombie outbreak, she doesn't even blink an eye. This outbreak is caused by a formerly quiet classmate of hers called Swan, and as of now he is your arch nemesis. Swan is an evil goth sorcerer hell bent on taking over the world, starting with San Romero high school.

Crack out the chainsaw, because this game requires all the dismemberment, blood, guts, and gore that you can give it. Your acrobatic cheerleading skills come in handy during combat, but the chainsaw is your main weapon. This delivers devastating attacks that will completely eradicate and decimate your enemies. The fun little twist is the contrast between the attack and the demise; when you finish off a zombie, they will burst in to cutesy things such as rainbows, pink hearts, and stars. This sugar coated kill effect is part of the humour and fun that you will consistently find throughout Lollipop Chainsaw, as the game never takes itself too seriously.

Fight through swarms and hordes of zombie former classmates, as well as try to rescue survivors and classmates from the horrors that have taken over the school. Not to mention kick Swan's ass, but most importantly, have fun! (Cat Emerson)
