SurrounDEAD uses iPhone 3GS compass

Ganked from TouchArcade Forums, courtesy of the iPhone Games Bulletin: This game seems to be one of the first to use the iPhone 3GS compass in gameplay. SurrounDEAD is a zombie game where you physically turn 360 degrees to view the entirety of the iPhone screen. It seems to have alternate tilt controls for this as well, for older iPhone models. Also, a very cool and immersive soundtrack.

I viewed the YouTube trailer and it looks really fun. I’d rather you be able to tilt up/down to reload your gun because I think touchscreen reloading will become tedious over time and interfere with the ability to fight the zombies. But we’ll see what happens. According to the post, they’ve just submitted it to the App Store for only $.99 (seems worth more than that to me). You should see it if approved within the next week or so.
