This is an incomplete list of video games strongly featuring zombies. These games feature creatures inspired by the archetypal flesh-eating zombies seen in horror films, B-movies and literature; such as in the films of George A. Romero. Other variants, such as the faster running zombies, are also included.[1][2] Particular zombie rationale and depictions vary with the source.


Zombies are common or generic enemies in video games. The ZX Spectrum computer game Zombie Zombie, released in Europe in 1984, is considered to be the first video game focused on zombies.[1][3] Zombie games became more prevalent after the release of the survival horror game Resident Evil in 1996.[1] This release, coupled with the 1996 light gun shooter The House of the Dead, gave rise to "an international craze" for zombies, in turn impacting zombie films.[4] Resident Evil sold 2.75 million copies within the United States alone,[4] and its success resulted in it becoming a major horror franchise encompassing video games, novelizations, and films.[1] The House of the Dead is also credited with introducing fast running zombies, distinct from Romero's classic slow zombies.[5]


First-person shooter survival game, part of the Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Treyarch has confirmed that the Zombies mode will return for Black Ops II with new game modes. Its predecessors were Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops. This is the third time for the Zombies mode to appear in a Call of Duty game, and the first time to have game modes other than the traditional Survival mode. Treyarch has also confirmed that Zombies will run on the game's multiplayer engine, allowing for a deeper community experience, along with new features. A new 8 player co-op game called Grief is also supported, featuring 2 teams of 4 players competing to survive, unlike Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops, which only supported 4 player online co-op. As with the previous game, each map contains "Easter eggs" side quests, which is used to progress the story.


One series that I can always trust to release top quality sniping experiences is the Sniper Elite series. Even though I'm getting older and find myself preferring assault rifles in shooting games due to my lack of patience and my annoying will to jump into gunfights right and left, I will never lose that love of sitting back and accurately pulling off head shots. Zombie Army Trilogy is not a Sniper Elite entry, per se, but there's no doubt that developer and publisher Rebellion used the same formula, gameplay mechanics, visuals, and more. And why not? It's great, and feels so natural every time you pick up the controller. If you've played Sniper Elite 4 since 2015 when the trilogy was originally released, then you'll be going backwards a bit in some aspects, but the DNA and polish is all there, so it's nothing bad, just a tad older. If you need some healthy Nazi zombie killing in your life, then look no further because this is a great way to scratch that itch. Yes, it's not the only one, but it is a quality option especially with how low it goes on sale these days.


First off, if you're unfamiliar with the Sniper Elite games, as I'll refer to them throughout the review once or twice, they are about the most badass sniping you can find in games, second only to great plays you have while competing in other shooters online. They are third person and focus a lot on stealth gameplay, trap setting, quiet executions, and long range sniping. For the most part, Zombie Army Trilogy follows in the same footprints, but without all the stealthy stuff. To be completely honest, the game is actually a constant barrage of zombie hordes, and often times sniping won't get the job done. It tells the tale of Hitler in an alternate version of our history books, as he commits suicide and unleashes a zombie apocalypse on the world.


As you progress throughout the 18 chapters (each lasting anywhere form 25-45 minutes), across three titles (one of which had never been previously released until the a Trilogy), you'll find that whipping out the shotgun and blasting dead limbs off of the dead corpses or spraying lines of them down with machine guns is the only way to survive. Even close range though, the rifles are not the worst. The game plays in third-person, but ADS will take you into first-person if you want it to. The best part is that it's at the toggle of a button, and can be quickly swapped back and forth. Say you're putting some shots way down range, but a zombie climbs the wall to your right, you can come out of the first-person ADS and easily snipe them close range. It's so smooth and elegant too. The very first mode I played after loading it up was the Horde mode, which I'll wrap back around to in a second, and after a few minutes of learning the controls I was able to switch from these long range scoped shots to close range third-person snipes. I emptied my rifle's supply before my other weapons too, because it's that convenient.


Traps will also help you from getting pushed on too quickly so those chaotic scrambling moments can be a little better prepared for on your end. You can throw down things like trip mines and land mines, but you can also bring other explosives like grenades and dynamite to the equation if you feel it necessary. One last system that is implemented is a kicking mechanic. It's a little on the weak side, and it can feel wonky, but it's not the worst thing to be able to kick zombies off of you. There just seems to be a grey area regarding the contact distance between you and zombies. Sometimes I wasn't sure how a zombie was able to damage me, and equally I was kicking at zombies that I didn't truly expect to hit, or was disappointed to find out I somehow wasn't close enough. But if you're doing your job right, mowing them down, there's no reason you should become desperate enough to depend on kicking them.


Enemies will range from simple designed dead soldiers, all the way to super armored out and machine gun wielding ones, and locations will range from across Germany and include cities and horrifying forests. There's a really good a,punt of variety with everything, not just the dozens of weapons you can use. Once you are finished with the campaign (not a requirement) you can play the Horde mode. It's worth finding a few people online, or even some friends, so that you can start in horde before the campaign, but that's just because I'm someone who likes to learn by playing, not tutorial. Here you try to survive wave after wave of zombie attacks and it's pretty fun. The focus is less on running around and completing objectives, and instead is about just holding out as long as possible with people by your side. Whenever you do start the campaign though, whether that be right away or not, you can invite up to three friends to play it with. It feels like there are not enough co-op campaigns in video games right now, so this is definitely a breath of fresh air.


During my playtime I didn't find any technical issues or bugs worth mentioning. The audio of zombie growls and bullets being blasted out of the guns were spot on, had the right reverberation feels from the environment, and ended appropriately. There were no trailing echo or sound effects where there shouldn't have been. The audio is just as polished as the visuals and gameplay.I wish the main characters would have talked during cutscenes though. There aren't a lot of cutscenes to begin with, so I feel talking should have been an easy task. They'll instead do a lot of pointing and head nodding when on screen.


The denizens of Andorhal turned into vile zombies of the Scourge. These monstrosities no longer held any thoughts or abilities from their mortal lives. Most certain of all, they readily used new powers we had never seen before to further spread the disease and hasten the destruction of the city.


I cannot believe I was foolish enough to think I could sneak past all of them on the streets. The zombies are everywhere now, and Andorhal is only a shell of its former glory, a sad and twisted remnant of my beautiful home.


Most characters (NPCs and players) can be infected with the new plague. The plague can be obtained from an attacking zombie, the green Retch! cloud from zombies, attacking a Plagued Roach or from "Conspicuous Crate" in cities. When a player or NPC is infected they have 1 minute or until their death to get the disease removed or they become a zombie. The timer can be accelerated by repeated attacks from a turned zombie.


These games feature creatures inspired by the archetypal flesh-eating zombies seen in horror films, B-movies and literature, such as in the films of George A. Romero. Particular zombie rationale and depictions vary with the source.


Revenants are based on folklore; these games may have a supernatural or fantasy theme. Unlike the mass-attack cannibalistic zombies of modern horror, revenants rose from the dead for individual purposes. 2ff7e9595c
