Call Of Duty: Black Ops Zombies Now Available On Google Play
I honestly can’t count how many precous hours of my life have been sacrificed for Call Of Duty (along with broken Xbox controllers). It’s just ridiculous. To say that Call of Duty is an addiction in the gaming world is an understatement. It’s pure internet/online gamers crack. Fact. Well, it seems the drug that is COD just tightened its grip on the gaming world, as Call Of Duty: Black Ops Zombies is now officially available for Android, and has made its way onto the Google Play Store.
The title was developed by Ideaworks Studios and is being distributed by Glu Mobile. Multiple maps have been included for the Android port,including Ascension, Kino Der Toten, and Call of the Dead: Director’s Cut. It also features the Dead-Ops Arcade, which is a 50 level zombie gauntlet that can make any gamer jump if he’s/she’s not careful. Solo play and co-op are supported, and 4 players can jump in on the fun together via Wi-fi. As much as I would like to buy and install this game NOW, there’s a big catch that prevents me from doing so....
The game has been optimized for Xperia devices, and will be exclusively available to Sony Xperia users only for 30 days (that’s **ked up). When the 30 days ends, the app will then be available to other Android devices (lame).
In case anyone is wondering, the game costs €5.69 ( around 7 USD/ 4.50 GBP), and will also “feature” in app purchases to allow you to unlock areas faster and to get your hands on better weapons.
The game is getting solid feedback on Google Play, so if you own an Xperia device and want to get in on the zombie hunting carnage, you can purchase the app here.
Xperia users: Let us know how you like the game!
