Run for your life! The zombies are coming! (pictures)
If you want to try a running game that's a little different from the rest in the genre, Running Dead is a good option, but be ready to grind through levels to make money for new weapons.
Not much to see here: just pick the male or female runner.

Next, go to the armory to choose your weapons
There are a lot of weapons in the armory, but it's going to take you a lot of games to earn that money. Alternatively, you can buy your way to happiness.

The town is ruined
As you play, you'll run through broken-down houses and other abandoned buildings.

Always stop for boxes
Boxes contain money, bullets, and special emergency weapons. The green boxes have bullets.

Grab the yellow box for cash
It takes a long time to collect money in the Running Dead. Grab as many yellow boxes as you can for a few extra coins.

Keep moving
You'll need to swerve between cars and trucks as you shoot down zombies and stay ahead of the horde.
