Resident Evil is probably one of the most well-known zombie video games. The game starts out in a creepy mansion that is full of puzzles and secrets and oh ya zombies. Part of the game is figuring out what the heck is going on. Upon exploring the mansion you can find useful objects to help you on your way. You get several types of weapons, mainly guns, to fight the zombies. You may also find herb packs which definately come in handy. The only problem is while exploring you never know what is going to jump out at you and try to kill you. You tend to get a tense feeling as you search around every new corner or open a new closet. This is the first game that actually scared me to the point where I could only play it during the day. This game has spawned several sequels and three theatrical movies.
Can we say badass?
Doom was created by id Software, the same company that brought you Wolfenstein. In Doom, a doorway to Hell was created and some of its tenants got out, killing anything in their path. The people that were killed ultimately turned into zombies. The game play is similar to that of Wolfenstein. The main character is known as Reaper, and he goes around and kills zombies with the option of using several different weapons. Since the game takes place in the future, there are the good old machine guns and rocket launchers but they also give you the Plasma Gun and the B.M.G. (Big Motherf****** Gun). The way to kill the zombies is to shoot or slash them. Doom was followed by many sequels. A movie based on the game was released in 2005, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the Sergeant and Karl Urban as Reaper. This movie is awesome and it shows a first person shooter sequence which looks a lot like the actual video game. On top of that, both the “The Rock” and Karl Urban are super hot!
Wolfenstein is a first person shooter that has zombies as the enemies. For the first few levels it is pretty normal. You are a prisoner in Castle Wolfenstein, which was run by the Nazis during WWII. The first several levels you are fighting Nazi Guards and trying to escape the castle. After you escape the castle, you move on to Operation Eisenfaust where the Nazis are creating mutant soldiers. To kill the zombies you get a variety of weapons. You get a large selection of guns (pistols and machine guns), a rocket launcher, a knife, and yes even the infamous chainsaw. Wolfenstein returned in 2001 with Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and a third game is to be released in 2009.
This was the first video game that introduces the zombies. Released in 1984, Zombie Zombie is a sequel to the game “Ant Attack.” In this game the zombie infestation started when a man (you) returned to a place rumored to be cursed. The man opened a door to the dark lands, unleashing a disease that causes the dead to come to life. The only way to kill the zombie is to lure it to high ground and somehow get it to fall off the cliff.
