With the success of games like Farmville and The Sims Social, it’s only natural that the students at the Vancouver Film School’s Game Design program would want to take a crack at Facebook gaming glory. The game is called Zombie-Kiri, where you play a hoverboard-riding Ninja looking to rescue your friends from a zombie apocalypse while they perform an annoying dance for you. Look, just play the game, okay?
