You never have to worry about storage when the Week in Gaming Apps contains a Katamari gaming experience, only gravitational pull, intense heat, and the odd zombie.
Katamari Amore kicked off a week of the best (or at least notable) gaming apps available for iOS, Android, and sometimes Windows Phone 7 (just not this week). After that particular fruit roll-up we moved on to lazy dragons, paper bombs, gauntleted mages, and a pack of tools perfect...

![Plastic Coathangers are Also Lethal in this Real-Life Dead Island Film [Video]](http://feeds.thatsovietguy.com/~ff/kotaku/vip?d=qj6IDK7rITs)
There are awesome ways to start your morning, but they probably aren't jampacked into just three minutes, like this Dead Island re-enactment from Chris Cropper's Going Nowhere Show.
It gets everything right about the zombie survival gaming experience, from the HUD to quest-giving to—wait, can you really blow up an exploding barrel with a plastic coat hanger?

After three hours of baby-interrupted sleep, I trudged across town to Dragon Con 2011 again today, where I occupied a great many benches and attempted to stay awake. I was mostly successful.
Being dead tired has its benefits, however. Were I full of energy, I would have run about the convention madly, taking shots of every cosplayer I saw. You'd be looking at a gallery full of Naruto characters and random people in steampunk gear. Not that...
![Top 10 Survival Tricks for When the Zombie Apocalypse Hits [Video]](http://www.thatsovietguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/0c21e577hit-whitson.jpg)
Over the years, we've shared a ton of tips for keeping yourself safe and healthy during an emergency. Here are some of our favorite clever survival tricks.

The Annihilation map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops just hit the Xbox 360 bringing with it four new multiplayer maps and another zombie-killing cooperative adventure.
Here's a quick look at the multiplayer maps Drive-in, Hanger 18, Hazard and Silo. There's some interesting little things in each of the maps. Hanger 18 seems to be the most visually interesting. I love the Drive-In map too, but I can't believe they didn't make any of those arcade...
