10 best zombie games 2012




















As did interest in the genre, until Bohemia Interactive decided to make it a standalone title which released in for Windows, Xbox One and PS4.

The best part about DayZ is its focus on realism. Including mechanics like realistic contagious sickness and very detailed simulated injuries. Accompanied by the talking head of her boyfriend Nick, zombie hunter Juliet Starling must hack and slash her way through hordes of zombified former classmates to find the source of the outbreak and stop it.

This decidedly Japanese hack-and-slash is all about the hedonistic pleasure of cutting through as many enemies as you can. Gameplay consists of guarding your lawn from incoming zombies by setting up pea-shooting plants and the like. The game marries two of my favorite things in the world — the steampunk aesthetic and zombie survival — to make a very special RTS focusing mainly on building the most resistant and defensible base you can.

This makes the stakes feel real and gives you reason not to be a suicidal maniac all the time. It takes place in post-apocalyptic Oregon, where main character Deacon St. John is desperately looking for his long-missing wife. There are some intense moments in Days Gone where just barely overcoming a rampaging horde of zombies feels like the best thing in the world, and riding your motorcycle from point A to point B is also quite satisfying.

But the game lacks polish and it can get repetitive pretty fast. Dead Island: Definitive Edition gives players the complete Polynesian survival experience by bringing together both the original Dead Island and its sequel, Riptide.

Put simply, this title is a first-person survival horror with a great focus on melee combat and exploration. The best part about this game is its weapon mod system which lets you make your AK47 shoot fire-rounds, or turn your throwing knives into tasers.

This top-down run-and-gun follows teenagers Zeke and Julie as they attempt to rescue their surviving neighbors after a horde of zombies, werewolves, vampires and the like plunge their town into chaos. The shopping mall setting gives Frank access to interesting equipment, like shopping carts to run zombies over and soccer balls to use as projectiles against the undead menace. And showcase how disasters like a zombie apocalypse may bring out the best in humankind… or the worst. Like most other Telltale titles, your role as a player is to make the right decisions and try not to die during quicktime events.

Lead S. If the classic survival horror gameplay proves too stressful for your modern self, consider the Resident Evil Chronicles rail shooter series. This title has singlehandedly kept me from getting rid of my Wii thanks to its amazing graphics and super fun-to-run gameplay.

It parades you through some of the most iconic moments in RE history along with some new scenarios while you worry about pumping enemies full of bullets and finding every collectible you can.

Further sequels are perfectly good games as well. This DLC turns the entire open world of Red Dead Redemption into a zombie-infested wasteland where John Marston must look for a cure to save his now-zombified family.

Undead Nightmare is a full-fledged game with its own mechanics like liberating towns overrun by zombies, and plenty of side-quests and storylines to follow, just like the regular Red Dead Redemption. While the squad-based zombie survival craze began with the first game, Left 4 Dead 2 polished the formula further.

Something this game does better than a lot of newer squad-based zombie shooters is that you must accomplish complex objectives while zombies are trying to tear you to shreds. This puts you in some really tight situations, and clearing them after a bunch of tries is exhilarating. Wacky weapons, wackier characters, and the hedonistic pleasure of blowing up zombie brains by the hundreds. What really sets these games apart is how much love the developers pour into each map, crafting a different experience every time.

The fourth installment in the well-loved RE franchise was a turning point for the series, bringing with it a much-needed change in gameplay and a higher focus on intense action than ever before.

It follows Leon S. It also had enough ridiculous humor and classic movie homages to win over even the most jaundiced of zombie fanatics. It has become one of the most successful mods ever, growing in scope and popularity until it was announced that Day Z would become a standalone game. In gamer jargon, Day Z is a FPS MMO with permadeath; which simply means it has guns, everybody plays together, and losing hurts a hell of a lot more than usual.

The answer has been with looting, killing, backstabbing and cruelty of all kinds. The survival horror genre had barely been invented when Zombies Ate My Neighbors was released, but despite the vast number of zombie-killing games that would come in the wake of Resident Evil , no other videogame has had quite so much fun dispatching the undead. The title was in fact a bit of a misnomer, considering that while it certainly contained zombies munching on neighbors, it also featured a wide cast of other enemies inspired by everything from Texas Chainsaw Massacre to Little Shop of Horrors.

The game is heavy on character interaction and suspense, like the comic and show. Action sequences are spread out; this is a character driven game with action elements only added in when completely necessary.

Everybody knows zombies are carnivorous. Even the strictest vegans come back from the grave craving flesh. So who better to defend us from the undead than mutant plants and mushrooms?

The PopCom game was released in for PC and Mac and found its natural home on mobile devices when the iOS version was launched the following year. The clean design, clever twists and easy learning curve made this a tower-defense game that could be enjoyed by the most casual gamer my wife and kids included.

You could easily switch the slots for the two Resident Evil games on this list. Resident Evil 4 strikes the right balance between action and survivalism.
