Zombies: A Genre Immune to Infection

Camine finds promise in the upcoming ZombiU while taking a look at what most other zombie games are missing, dictated by reality:

When I first saw Ubisoft's preview of ZombiU, I was left feeling cold. I wasn't the only one. During The Player Character E3 wrap-up, my peers (three cheers for my peers!) all agreed that zombies are so over. I held my tongue at the time. My indifference to ZombiU came from a different place than zombie burnout. What I'm really tired of is bog-standard games blowing their artistic direction budget on misleadingly evocative trailers. No matter how crappy E3 might have been, a podcast about it was not the time or place to act as a proselytist sentinel on behalf of zombie-kind. My weekly opinion column, on the other hand? This is my world. You just live in it… and not for long!

Thanks to constant milking of the genre. I miss the "Dawn of the Dead" and "28 Days Later" zombie age.
