I know Easter is over but here’s an update worth mentioning about a little Easter title that can actually be enjoyed year-round. Bunny the Zombie Slayer received a new 1.2 update that includes 2 additional modes of play. Adding to classic mode, Hothead Games has added a new 28 Waves Later mode and a Time Attack mode.

I have Bunny the Zombie Slayer and I will say that even though it’s Easter themed, it really isn’t. Sure the Easter Bunny is in it and he throws Easter eggs, but it’s really more a game about making him a year-round action hero than it is about the Easter holiday.
