Freeware Game Pick: The Scourge (Akith Games)
The Scourge is a survival horror game taking place in a presumably empty house over the course of one night, represented as five minutes' worth of action-oriented gameplay. You start off with no weapons, but will soon be presented with the choice of a shotgun or uzi to defend yourself from the endless hordes of zombies out to eat your flesh.
Use the W, A, S, D or cursor keys to move, and hold the left mouse button to shoot.

It's ugly but I like the "choose your gun/enemy/entry point" feature.

It didn't feel satisfying to play, and it didn't feel fair that I had to stop to read stuff when I was surrounded by baddies.

This baby was created at T.O. Jam #3 http://www.tojam.ca! Hopefully our other games will reach this high bar (we're creating pages for them as we speak). They worked like mad dogs to meet the crazy deadline. Be sure to check out Craig's pixel art at http://www.superbrothers.ca - it's really incredible.

Wow! How cool is it to have something up on the indiegames blog!
Making this was lots of fun, and very little sleep.
