The game itself is reason enough to buy a PS4, telling one of the best stories in video game history, and that's not something I say lightly. I also knew that not including it would make this list the equivalent of virtual toilet paper.
This was pretty much the entire reason that I created the second rule, and I knew that you knew long before I told you. Just don't go expecting to step into the shoes of Rick Grimes - this game has its own unique story and characters. Each season will take you about 10 hours to complete, giving you plenty of time to power through both before the television show picks back up in about a month. The game lacks the action of Nazi Zombies or DayZ, but the story makes this something that any undead fan should play, and likely can given that it's currently available on more platforms than I care to copy and paste. Of course, I'm going to include both Season One and Season Two in my praise, as playing one without the other would be downright silly. Hopefully you know that I'm talking about the one from Telltale Games and not the Survival Instinct version that hovered around a solid 3/10 on Metacritic. If you haven't taken a trip to Chernarus, it's definitely worth thinking about.
Spread out over a map that is more than 200 square kilometers, DayZ allows players to create their own adventure, something that I've spent more than 225 hours doing. Still, as the title suggests, zombies are a huge part of at least the DayZ theme, and the game (in spite of its bugs) is absolutely brilliant. This one was tough for me since the zombies in DayZ are a mild nuisance, unless of course they ignore things like closed doors and walls while I'm trying to chow down on a can of tactical bacon.
Sledgehammer Games will continue the zombie themed action with Exo-Zombies for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, but something tells me that Nazi Zombies will retain its spot at the top of the undead CoD pecking order. I probably could have replaced this game and mode with another from the series, but why not just go with the original from the franchise? Of course, I enjoyed zombies just as much in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, but the idea really picked up steam with World at War. I'll probably miss something you would have included, so be sure to speak up and let me know what games would make your list. Because there's some good ones (and I make the rules), I'll include DLC packs and zombie specific game modes.Ĥ. Think 28 Days Later here for comparison.ģ. Zombies will be defined as "zombie like" creatures, meaning that variants such as infected are good to go. Zombies must be a main theme of the game.Ģ. With The Walking Dead on hiatus until February and games like Dying Light and H1Z1 still a few days away from release, I've got zombies on my mind, and what better way to scratch that itch then compiling a list of the best zombie themed video games of all time? First some self-serving ground rules.ġ.
