Wii Fanboy writes: "House of the Dead: Overkill launches pretty much everywhere next month, and looks set to be a mini-upheaval for Sega's venerable lightgun series.
While shooting zombies in the face still plays a major role, Brit developer Headstrong Games has introduced a '70s horror theme, time manipulation, new enemies, and a ton of extra content. We lined up Lead Designer Alastair Halsby in our shotgun reticles, and fired several rounds of questions his way. Join us after the break for a discussion on grindhouse, censorship, and the "ballistic ballet of zombie destruction." Heads up!"

Jerry from BagoGames says, "Let's honor the passing of the horror-film inspiration George Romero with these five horror video games that remind me of his genius."
Adam from GamersFTW writes "Are zombie games meant to be fun, frightening or something else entirely? Zombie media these days is like rubbish after a particularly rough party; it’s everywhere and somebody really should clean it up. So in that spirit let’s better define the different types of games we have in this pile and what mood they’re best played in."
Never really thought about discretising zombie games in this way, but have played and enjoyed most of these for various reasons.
House of the Dead Overkill is a laugh. "Critics say it's mother-f***ing good!" Classic.
I definitely reccomend looking at Killing Floor 2. To me, it is the next big thing in survival horror. While it's not exactly "zombies" the horror factor mixed with co-op and customization makes it feel like a standalone CoD zombies title. I just feel as it is only on PC at the moment it doesn't get enough publicity.
I was gonna say "where's DayZ" but then I remembered I haven't really noticed the zombies' presence in DayZ for the last 3 years
