Co-op zombie shooter 2013: Infected Wars will blast onto the App Store on Thursday

Those ruddy zombies are at it again. You know, wandering around with bits of their skin falling off, causing all sorts of cannibalistic mischief.

Luckily, in Action Mobile Games's 2013: Infected Wars, you've got an arsenal of weapons to put an end to their shuffling reign of chaos.

And you've not got much longer to wait for this Unreal-powered third-person shooter, with Action Mobile Games announcing that the zombie-slaughtering game should be available on the App Store this Thursday.

The big 'twist' this time around is that you can play the game with a friend, teaming up to take down hordes of the undead with a variety of different guns.
