The 10 Best Zombie Games

"Ever since film director George A. Romero showed the world that mindless, stumbling, decaying, undead corpses wanted nothing more than to eat our brains, zombies have been source material for just about every industry in entertainment. Video games included. A black and white film, The Night of the Living Dead reached out to audiences in 1968 -- sixteen years later, a few of us were alive to play as Ash on our Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, defending a log cabin from zombies and limbs in Palace Software's The Evil Dead. Nearly thirty years later, our obsession has reached epic proportions"

LFD2 is by far the best Zombie game out as of now.
Pure multi-player epic killing

frostypants4553d ago

My only gripe in L4D2 is the tanks. Those things just seem out of place, and create frustration more than anything. Beyond that it's the best co-op game ever, IMHO. I can't even play the zombie modes in the CoD games...they're just too slow paced. I like my zombies numerous and highly aggressive.

Black-Helghast4553d ago

LFD2 is an awesome game but I think Plant Vs Zombies should be #1.

Also; DEAD ISLAND #5...Dead Space #7?

.....................

Really? I still hate myself for wasting 60$ on Dead Island and not buying Resistance 3.

bodybombs4552d ago

i liked dead island. i think its only really fun when youre playing with a few friends though.

left 4 dead 2 was awesome, my only gripe with it was the lack of updates for the xbox version of the game.

i really wish they added zombies ate my neighbors though, i had tons of fun with that game

StifflerK4553d ago

I'd add 'Stubbs the Zombie' , that game deserves a sequel.

MagicAccent4553d ago

The game that got me into liking barbershop quartets, haha.

Noticeably_FAT4553d ago

I kind of prefer Left 4 Dead 1, nothing better then playing that with some friends over XBL. The fact that you actually get the chance to play as a zombie gives the game an edge. It is very unique.

frostypants4553d ago

Glad they put L4D2 as #1. I love that game. The kicker is I got both it and L4D1, plus the expansions, for something like $10 on Steam. Best bang for the buck ever.

When's L4D3???

MagicAccent4553d ago

For the last time:
Resident Evil is not a zombie game!

specialguest4553d ago (Edited 4553d ago )

From Resident Evil Wiki:

A zombie refers to most humans that have succumbed to the Tyrant virus (either through contaminated water supply or via bites and scratches from a virus carrier).

The researchers at Umbrella called them "zombies" due to their slow pace, mindless nature, similarity to the modern-day concept of a zombie in 20th century cinema, and the fact that they are walking dead corpses.[notes 1] Like their horror film counterparts, zombies spread the virus through biting and are walking corpses, DUE TO THE FACT THAT INDIVIDUALS DIE BEFORE TURNING INTO ZOMBIES.

Zombies were the main enemies in the Resident Evil franchise, but were replaced by Las Plagas and their hosts in Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. Zombies return in the upcoming games Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City and Resident Evil: Revelations.

If we want to get technical on what a zombie is, then almost all of those games listed are true zombies according to the Vodou religion. Otherwise, Resident Evil IS a zombie game.

specialguest4552d ago

I meant to say on the last paragragh.... almost all of those games are NOT true zombies according to the vodou religion.

MagicAccent4552d ago (Edited 4552d ago )

Ugh. I meant RE '4' is not a zombie game

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.

XiNatsuDragnel8d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel7d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia8d ago

Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.

MeteorPanda7d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long7d ago

I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.

Tacoboto7d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long7d ago

Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.

Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.

When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.

But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.

Kornholic7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?

13 Years Later, Dead Space 2 Is Still A Perfect Video Game

Nameer from eXputer: "Dead Space 2 is a sequel that delivers such a feast that by the time you're done, you're not only full but also satisfied."

Aaroncls727d ago

It was amazing. All 3 DS games game solid for me, but 2 was special.

hombreacabado27d ago

i can do without ds3 but the first two are solid.

mariopasta27d ago

Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection

Terry_B27d ago

thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled130d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa130d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno130d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac129d ago (Edited 129d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast129d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial129d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
