Cockneys Vs. Zombies review

The undead horde head to… Hackney

Reviews

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

Just when you though there wasn’t a brain left in filmland that the zombie genre hadn’t already chewed and spat out, German director Matthias Hoene leads the undead horde to… Hackney.

When a construction crew unearths a cursed tomb, the East End fills up with flesh-eating monsters.

After a few odd twists the action shifts to a retirement home for cockney stereotypes – including Richard Briers and a guntoting Honor Blackman. It might sound like a lazy idea for an iPhone game but a few fresh jokes and lashings of creative gore help it stand out from the shuffling crowd.
