Review Shooter: ShaqDown

ShaqDown is an iOS and Android game featuring auto-run mechanics, mutant zombies, and legendary basketball player Shaquille O’Neal. I’ll allow you a moment to double take and re-read that last sentence, but that’s about as simple as I can lay out the premise for this game.
