AWESOMEoutof10's Liam Dean laments the over-saturation of Zombies in the medium. "It is such a good premise, in fact, that games designers have been cashing in on it for ages. The zombie game has just been done to death, if you’ll excuse the pun. It’s everywhere you look these days from the tacked on FPS zombie shooting modes of Call Of Duty to the supposedly “shocking” tourist hacking of Dead Island: Riptide. Even though it garnered quite a lot of positive critical reception, I even found the recent indie game Deadlight to be a pretty but essentially boring game that had none of the tense desperation or creeping dread that usually comes with the territory. In many cases, these games feel like rushed and hackneyed interpretations of George A Romero’s masterpiece instead of homages created by fans of the genre. A cynical person could even say that many are shameless cash-ins designed to pique our interests and prey upon our natural curiosity with the undead. I’m afraid I am one of these cynical people."
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.
GF365: "The iconic survival horror franchise Resident Evil boasts a great number of popular and memorable characters. Arguably, Leon S. Kennedy is the most popular and recognizable character aside from Jill Valentine. In this article, we'll be counting down every Resident Evil game Leon is featured in, ranked."
Yeah I figured it would be ordered like this. For me Leons best game was his debut. RE2.
DayZ does it very well. So well it might be the greatest, most interesting and most intense gaming experience I've ever had
Overuse of zombies in culture...
Zombies are the perfect entertainment for sociopathic, alienated people.
Alone surrounded by hordes of soulless, hostile, dangerous creatures: this is how sociopaths view the everyday world around them.
Zombies aren't bad it's just the last 5 yrs or so there are too many zombie orientated games/movies.
It used to be a niche product, unfortunately everyone wants to cash in on the zombie craze.
I have played 2 really good zombie games this gen, burn zombie burn and dead nation, left 4 dead looks real fun, but i never played it. I have gotten burnt out on zombie games, in general and don't like most stupid horror films.
Primarily because i have a hard time, suspending my reasoning during a horror movie. If it is not rational or logical, even in the movies universe, my mind starts ripping it apart as to why it's so illogical or unreasonable. It's probably why i don't own a single horror/killer movie.
I really hope it dies off before long, i am bored with the obsession with the walking dead(not referring to the tv show specificly).
Sorry revolver your ass is wrong, it is definitely an overused hollywood monster atm.
" This is why any good zombie movie/game usually doesnt explain how it started, because it doesnt matter."
Translation because they are too lazy to bother explaining anything or it's so fucking ridiculous you would make people laugh their asses off, instead of pissing themselves.
That and every government and military in the world, is conveniently beyond incompetent to initiate quarantine or sterilization measues on infected populations if the need arose.
"The zombie genre is American made." "We love our zombies." Some of us not as much as other.
" Resident Evil, Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, Dead Island are all decent to good games." Re and ld4 okay, dr yuck, dead island lol that game was ass and then some, goty edition my fucking ass.
I'd happily see more zombie games.
A couple of sites (mine included) have good counter-points to the anti-zombie perspective. I can't think of a game where the zombies were detrimental to the game itself.
