GamerDad Writes:
"House of the Dead is probably the most famous rail shooter. What's a rail shooter? Well can take that literally, you're "On a Rail" and shooting the beasts that come out of the dark at you. The series is known for towering boss monsters, horrific voice acting and writing and music you'll never get out of your ears. The Wii is the perfect substitute for light gun technology, so it's not surprising to see another sequel shuffle in.
Grindhouse, Planet Terror, that's pretty much the tone of the game. Grimy, slimy and gory. Heads explode from headshots and you can even shoot arms and legs off. Unlike previous games, the Bosses are more terrifying. Plus they're homages to old horror flicks. In fact there are so many homages and references to movies, TV and previous games in the series. The other change is the music, which is now a mix of original metal, industrial and more."

Jerry from BagoGames says, "Let's honor the passing of the horror-film inspiration George Romero with these five horror video games that remind me of his genius."
Adam from GamersFTW writes "Are zombie games meant to be fun, frightening or something else entirely? Zombie media these days is like rubbish after a particularly rough party; it’s everywhere and somebody really should clean it up. So in that spirit let’s better define the different types of games we have in this pile and what mood they’re best played in."
Never really thought about discretising zombie games in this way, but have played and enjoyed most of these for various reasons.
House of the Dead Overkill is a laugh. "Critics say it's mother-f***ing good!" Classic.
I definitely reccomend looking at Killing Floor 2. To me, it is the next big thing in survival horror. While it's not exactly "zombies" the horror factor mixed with co-op and customization makes it feel like a standalone CoD zombies title. I just feel as it is only on PC at the moment it doesn't get enough publicity.
I was gonna say "where's DayZ" but then I remembered I haven't really noticed the zombies' presence in DayZ for the last 3 years
