Zombie-themed games are ever so popular. Game developers just cannot stop producing such games. While I am not a fan of zombie games, I do enjoyed playing some of these genre of games. So below is a list of zombie games that I would like to share with all readers.
LEFT 4 DEAD 2
This can easily be the hottest game in LAN shop for the entire year. Had been playing this game at LAN shop with different groups of friend and the fun never ends. The sound track and ambience of the game (coupled with the dim lighting in LAN shop) creates the perfect environment for Left 4 Dead 2. My personal favourite? The Witch who will start chasing you after you inflicted it with the first shot.
The multiplayer mode also allows you to go 4-on-4 in a team battle. Each team will assume roles of either human or zombie. Of course, being zombie is always fun. Spawn as a Tank and knock you friends off into an acid pool. Jockey your friend into flames. Spit acid onto unsuspecting victims. A great game for a group of friends to play.
[PROTOTYPE]
Not exactly a zombie game but the plot of Prototype is typical of most zombie-themed game. An outbreak of an infection that cause mutation in a densely populated city, and you play the hero who tried to find a cure. Ok, I am not talking about Will Smith’s ‘I am Legend‘. But despite the not so original storyline, the game’s physics will truly amaze you when you first play the game. You play as Alex Mercer, a protagonist that possesses shape-shifting ability. He can change his hand into blades, claws, whip and hammer that enable him to boulder and slice his enemy. He can walk on walls, glide in air and falls from an height without sustaining damage.
If shooting zombie is not fun enough for you, you can crush them with tanks or blow them up with missiles in Prototype. Wicked.
Oh, you also get to fight these super agile mutated creature call Hunter. More gore and blood. This game is definitely not for the minor or people with Hemophobia.
Resident Evil 5
A long lasting franchise of Capcom, this latest Resident Evil installment introduced co-op playing for the first time. So instead of just one hero fighting against horde of undead, you get two! Playing this game with a friend really enhances the gameplay experience compared to having to explore a zombie infested place alone.
Ok, be warned though that unlike Left 4 Dead 2, Resident Evil 5 is about surviving. You have very limited ammunition and most of the time you’ll have to scavenge for them. Oh, and I really hate those dogs that can split its head.
Plants VS Zombies
Yeah! Finally a more family oriented zombie game! Pop cap which is famous for making casual game such as Peggle creates this wonderful game which I’ve spent countless hours on. Despite its simplicity, this game is addictive! Probably more addictive than most facebook games in my opinion. Nope, you don’t get much blood and gore for this game. Definitely suitable for the minor.
In Plants and Zombies, you have to ward off waves after waves of zombie which will try to invade you house. Instead of machine guns, chainsaws or Samurai sword, you have plants as your weapon! This plants pack a punch and do just as well compared to conventional weapons. In fact, I love this game so much that I will include a music video of this game for this post! Enjoy!
So that concludes the best zombie games yet. However, I do have to admit that I am not a fan of such games. Might have miss out some good titles. Do leave your comments if I missed out any good games.:)
