Xbox Live Arcade and PSN have become breeding grounds for ideas both new and old. When a developer combines both of these aspects to bring an interesting take on a genre, it really makes me appreciate that we have the service. Developer Nihilistic has taken the recent trend of slaying zombies and combined it with the old-school arcade mentality from such games as Smash TV and Robotron. Twin stick shooters are nothing new, but when you combine Left 4 Dead with Geometry Wars you get a mash-up of entertainment that is one of the most predictable, repetitive and mindlessly addictive multi-player experiences on the service. Zombie Apocalypse is a great time waster, as long as you don't expect anything ground-breaking."
For some time, zombies in video games were associated with only one franchise: Resident Evil. The shambling monstrosities in the 1996 classic were so iconic that they defined the undead horde for a generation of players. Recently, though, they've begun to show their rotting faces in many titles. It's become de rigueur for designers to populate their games with a range of variations on rejects from Michael Jackson's Thriller, but why?
I know I might be wrong but I am going to say because of how well received Call Of Duty: World At War Zombies was received. After that, companies took the lemmings route and decided to implement zombies into every Tom Dick and Harry of a game.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at what Treyarch did because it made the game fun but I am disappointed at the other companies that put in unnecessary undead in order for their game to pocket sales.
I think zombies are an interesting genre...It is a shame that so many crappy games tried to copy and paste the formula from the bigger companies and just over-saturate the market with bland zombie games. Same thing occurred with the alien genre.
There actually is plenty of room for an innovative zombie game.
Old-school zombie shooting fun awaits!
Like movies, video games go through fads. When it comes to bad guys, for example, we experienced the street thug phase, followed by Nazis (we hate those guys) and most recently, zombies. At this point, the undead are so popular that it’s impossible to go an entire month without seeing a game inhabited by these brain munching creatures, either at retail stores, on the iPhone and for the sake of this article, in the magical world of console DLC. There are a slew of released and upcoming games starring flesh eating monsters, so without further ado, here’s a list of zombified downloadable content.
