Good games, weird order.

They made the right choice with number 1. I haven't clocked as many hours in every other zombie game combined as i have in L4D 1 and 2; and i have played every other game on this list at least once. So much fun!

i dont think so, l4d are good games but i think that it would be closer to 5ish.

id have put RE2 at number 1, then RE3, RE4 should even be on there, amazing game but those are not zombies.

dead rising would prob be 3 then left for dead. at least imo

I agree. RE4 didn't have zombies.

I can't believe Dead Island is left off this list...instead they have plants vs. zombies? I also don't agree with the list saying "zombie games" yet is using DLC/mods which is just a game type and not the overall "game".

Games like RE1 and 2, Dead Rising, L4D1 and 2, The Walking Dead are all zombie "games". RDR just had a gamemode added on...and you needed to buy it. If you didn't, then you are not playing a zombie game in RDR.

This list is a fail. Especially without Dead Island on the list.

look, this all comes down to perspective, i suppose. you have to take a lot of things into consideration. i absolutely LOVED RE2. I thought it was a great game. the way you got to choose which disc you played first and how it influenced the other disc.

...but, it didn't provide unlimited gameplay. it didn't let you play with friends. it didn't give you a unique experience each time that was always intense and challenging.

l4d2 is simply the better game. they are both great games, but l4d has it beat.

How come Dead Island never features in these 'top 10' lists.

Picked up the GOTY edition, just completed the campaign and i'll no doubt be going through it again. More than I can say for some of the RE games.

Dead Island was a very tedious experience. Gameplay was mediocore, inconsistent, and buggy. The game was executed the way it was supposed to be, but it still wasn't all that fun to play after 30 mins.
