Also those zombies are supposed to look ugly but they still look ugly in the wrong way somehow
If you study art (or a few MAD magazine comics) then the concept of something looking ugly "in a good way" versus "in a bad way" isn't that shocking. People use "well he's supposed to be ugly" as an excuse for bad design all the time, and for most people that excuse works (even though they will still stay away from the game).
I've played Touch the Dead, and every single frame of that game from the moment you turn it on to right when you power off screams AMATEUR.
Still a good waste of time based on the merit of looking at things and poking them with a stylus, but the ammo system is a bitch and gets in the way of even that.
