It taps into that timeless wish that the world we know of would just stop, and we could be elevated to greater importance. At least zombies could sort of, at least to a degree, someday happen.

I just wish people would stop claiming that an apocalypse was evident and certain (even the Mayans didn’t think 2012 was the end of the world), but that’s a pipe dream. So long as the world is turning and there’s people on it, someone’s going to claim it will end for no logical reason, and folks will lap it up for love of escapism.

there should be a special mention to L4D 2D, not flash but java, so it is browser friendly

Speaking of Zombie Nazis, I played to the end of COD: World at War, watched the credits, which end with a dedication to the servicemen of WWII with the words SEMPER FI bold on screen, before a figure lurches from the dark and the words ZOMBIE NAZIS burn into the screen, and I couldn’t believe it! What a juxtaposition!
A tasteless moment from a fairly tasteless game although the audacity did make me laugh, and the Zombie Nazi mode is actually better than several missions from the main game.

hey its billy :)
nice to see the list here!
there are also some more noteable zombie games….

for example “zombie grinder 60.000″ (but you have to like some death metal…ehm…well more precisely it features a subgenre: death/gore grind…the guttural stuff…growling,grunting,screaming,blastbeats,and extremely lowered guitars.
to that sound you control a fat butcher that blasts zombies away with your trustworthy shotgun.
to the rhytm of the grind…to the breakdowns in slow motion. needs the speakers to be turned on…)

Ragdoll Zombie Slayer (stand on point and blew away those zombies that flew into your way)
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/511145

Curse Village (zombies walking from the left…you have to…well convince them to go away…with the use of some wepaons ahem)
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/501443

Zombieland (16 bit styled comical sidescrolling zombie skateboard sim…)
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/378688

Vox Populi Vox Dei – A Werewolf Thriller
(this time no zombies but werewolfes…the extreme violence makes this interesting for a few minutes…i mean in a stealth kinda way you jump onto a werewolf and you TEAR THEM APART!..literally…and the pixelated blood…all over the place…repetitive after a few minutes but quite amusing in the beginning)

btw:
dead rising + left4dead and a bunch of ferrero products…good combination.
and nice as a reward when you blasted away some zombies. ;)

It seems the top down shooter look is de rigueur for Zombie games at the moment.

The best thing about some of those games was the names.

‘Died Harded’ is good, but ‘Zombie Hooker Nightmare’ is simply inspired!
