Thirteen1 - There are plenty of Zombie games out there right now. The undead have become so ubiquitous they’ve even managed to shamble into titles like “Rail Simulator 2012” as DLC. But has there been a perfect zombie game? A quintessential cornerstone against which all zombie games can be held against?
T1 put heads together with a number of gamers to figure out what would make the perfect zombie survival game.

Just because you have a favorite doesn't mean that new and amazing experiences can't come after.
I'd like to see a combo of L4D, CoD zombie mode, Dead Rising, and Dead Island with custom characters. I'd like to have players be unable to communicate unless in close proximity, or unless they found walkie talkies (with batteries that could run out of power). Players would start alone and have to find others. It would be a drop in/drop out world with many buildings that could be entered and fortified if needed. Imagine starting your own game, fighting or avoiding zombie hordes, and hearing gun shots in the distance. Depending on your own weapon/ammo situation, do you risk being seen to help another person?
In my perfect zombie game, being bitten would be a death sentence but it would be possible to hide the bite from your team and turn on them later as a zombie. Once you die, your custom character would show up as a zombie in other people's games.
Would be cool to be strolling along, all alone, then running into a huge group of players trying to survive. You request to join them And they let you in and all the members have to do missions for the boss, which would be another player.
He could send you out to get supplies, find more people that are alone or in smaller groups. Hell, even try to steal supplies from other groups, trying not to get caught.
God I wish I was a developer, because I would form a team and make this happen lol.
Some people find the thrill in the survival. Day Z suits them.
Others get their blood pumping when see a hoard running full speed in their direction. L4D satisfies those players.
Others love crazy guns and and setting traps for the zombie beasts while others try to board up windows or try their luck at getting a better gun. COD zombies are for you.
Everyone has their own idea of what makes a zombie great. A perfect zombie game is up to the digression of each individual gamer. Specific zombie games may be respected by the entire community. However, each person will be more inclined to the game of their zombie ideals.
