Zombies Ate My Console!: Top 10 Zombie Games
Zombie games are a viral epidemic (excuse the pun) affecting the gaming arena. And some of the more popular games of all time happen to be zombie-fests (e.g. Resident Evil). Zombie games now are a dime a dozen, but some of them really do stand out. But what happens if you pit them against each other in a battle for the crown of Best “Blow-My-Brains-Out” Zombie Game?
IGN recalls for us what zombie games are really all about. It’s not about the graphics, nor is it about the story. It’s about the gaming experience! And that’s what a good zombie game should do: grab gamers by the jugular (oh, yeah!) and infect them with pure, uninhibited fear.
Here’s what IGN’s Top 10 list looks like:
10. Hunter: The Reckoning
9. Stubbs the Zombie
8. Alone in the Dark
7. House of the Dead 4
6. They Hunger
5. Typing of the Dead
4. Zombies Ate My Neighbors
3. Doom
2. Resident Evil 2
1. Winx (we’re just kidding, folks)
1. Dead Rising
Well, OK. One or two of them might be more of a zombie-themed cult classic than a seriously scare-my-pants-off game, but still, a zombie game must have an infectious gaming experience – one that will get you glued to the controller whether by fear or carnal appetites, or simply have an addictive gameplay.
Now some of you might have your own idea of a zombie-fest. And I myself definitely have my personal Top Ten (Silent Hill being somewhere near the top). We all have our standards when assessing different kinds of games – whether it’s a zombie game or a puzzle game. So we ask you: any other games you might consider for the list?
