About Infected

The first in a series of original games exclusively for the PSP from Planet Moon Studios and Majesco, Infected features pulse-pounding two-gun action as players cleanse the mean streets of New York City of mad, flesh-hungry beings known as Infected. Infected brings the frenetic gameplay of a classic arcade game to a cutting-edge, third-person shooter and allows players’ avatars to invade opponents’ PSP systems via Wi-Fi multi-player victories.
