Left4Dead 2

Left4Dead 2 simply tops L4D with more explosive content making its predecessor look pale in comparison. New campaigns, game modes, guns, all-new melee weapons makes this a complete Zombie Apocalypse experience from both perspectives. The Realism mode adds a whole lot of tension which wasn't missed anyways. Left4Dead 2 is made for fans of all things Zombie related, it's incredibly gory, zombie animations are well executed, scary monsters, but the main feature in L4D 2 are the melee weapons, you'll have chainsaws, electric guitars, cricket bats and more at your disposal to get the Zombies out of your way.

COD: World at War

The addition of the Nazi Zombie game mode sure was a welcome one to the otherwise been there done that WW game. Unlocked after completing the game, it puts up to 4 players in an abandoned house with some barricades between you and the Nazi Zombies. As you progress further in this mode it gets more intense and satisfying as waves of undead keep piling on, while unlocking new weapons and locations in the house.

Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead is mostly fun when played cooperatively and the game will fulfill your wish of being caught in a Zombie Apocalypse from both perspectives with tons of guns and hordes of Zombies at your disposal. Unpredictable & relentless enemies make it imperative to have human teammates in harder difficulty modes, but you can't complain about killing zombies alone either. The game also offers a variety of gameplay modes which will keep you interested for a while.

Shell Shock 2: Blood Trails

There is something very satisfying about Shell Shock 2: Blood Trails i.e taking your time and getting a headshot on the Zombie because that's the way you're suppose to kill a zombie right? The game had a very small development budget and it completely shows when compared to other FPS games of its time, but it isn't as bad as the press reviews which would definitely steer you away from the game. It is far from perfect, has a short campaign, although if you like shooting zombies it's definitely worth renting.

DayZ

DayZ is a zombie Mod for, Arma2, and its expansion Arma2 Operation Arrowhead. For those of you unfamiliar with the land of PC gaming, mods are commonly occurring 'modifications' to existing PC titles. Created by the gaming population (typically the programming variety), Mods exist in a variety of shapes and sizes. Sometimes they boost graphical quality, they may change a perceived flaw, add something comical, or they might e a completely different title using the original game as a jump off point - DayZ is one of these.

I enjoy Zombie Apocalypse games in all shapes and sizes. You start the game at a random spawn point, usually near the coast on a map 225kms square. You have a pistol with a few clips, some bandages, flares, and probably a bit of food and water, that's it, and you'll need to find more. The map holds towns, great expanses of woods, five hundred plus zombies, bandits, and your fellow players. Those players might be helpful, they also might be hard up for stuff and want yours. Chances are anyone you meet will want your stuff and will take it if they have to, so be suspicious. People and the undead aren't the only thing you have to be wary of, you need to eat, you need to drink, and if you're hurt, you need patching up. Canteen empty already? Better find a water source. The other night I spent the better part of an hour trying to find my way out of a forest. Some folks, the twitch muscle variety perhaps, might think that sounds like a boring experience. Not me. The servers run a full day cycle, and that includes nighttime, no pushing a button and waiting 'til daylight, I needed gear to survive, so I had to find my way out of the woods. I didn't know if there was a town over the next rise, or if a few roaming Zombies were in the next copse of trees. As I scouted the terrain for movement and any sign of a building or town that might contain the gear I needed to keep going.

You aren't a hero in DayZ, you are a dead man walking; the average lifespan is around about a half hour. Ever find yourself wondering what would happen in real life if you ran out of bullets and had a bunch of zombies after you? I did. Turns out you get eaten. Having been the alpha predator in numerous apocalypse scenarios, it was with a novel feeling of hopelessness that I just had to accept my fate. That vulnerability is runs right through DayZ. Hanging by a thread, you'll need to go to town to find the goods, but you go a street to far, or a step too careless and, well... you only have so many bullets.

As DayZ picks up steam, features will be added, bugs will be squashed, and people will flock to it like a horde of zombies alerted by a gunshot.
