The Bargain Bin is a weekly feature that helps out gamers in the tough economy. How does it help? Once a week, it offers a great and cheap game ($10 or less) to keep you going until your next paycheck.

This week’s Bargain Bin aims to please zombie hunters everywhere. Burn Zombie Burn! initially released on the PS3 a year back, but the game has finally been ported to PC and Steam is offering it for 10% off during launch week!

Despite it filling the “kills zombies” slot, it actually misses a few other marks that would have made it a much better game. With a complete lack of any story mode, the game can quickly get repetitive for some gamers, and while the game does feature a few different gameplay types, there is no multiplayer or co-op of any kind. This is a huge hindrance on the game, as we all know that top-down survival shooters are best played with a buddy or two.

So, Burn Zombie Burn! is an entertaining and satisfying little game, but nothing extraordinary that will amount to much more than wasting a small chunk of time per play, but for $8.99, it’s still worth a shot to anyone that is a fan of the series.
