The List
[edit | edit source]| Cover | Title | Year | Genre | Platforms | Description | Screenshot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
10800 Zombies | 2010 | Platformer | Windows | A simple, silly little survival-laughter platformer that has you taking on a fuckton of zombies. Everything is simple, but over-the-top fun, with fountains of blood and a goofy fast-rock soundtrack. You can only carry two weapons at a time, the better ones having limited ammo, so fire with care. Short, but sweet. Also freeware. | 
|
|
Altered Beast | 1988 | Beat 'em up / platformer | Arcade Mega Drive TurboGrafx-16 others |
Not the first thing that comes to mind when discussing zombies, but most enemies (and the hero!) are undead, so there. You're a centurion brought back from the grave by Zeus to rescue Athena, who was abducted by Neff, the evil god of the underworld. In each stage you transform into a different mighty beast. A quick and short arcade that's still pretty fun. | 
|
|
Atom Zombie Smasher | 2011 | Strategy | Windows | A unique concept for a game. You try to route or kill zombies in order to save survivors in cityscapes. It takes itself really seriously, and some people might like the atmosphere. Intense on the last levels. Very much worth a steam purchase while on sale. | 
|
|
Call of Duty: Black Ops (Zombies mode) | 2008, 2010 | FPS | Windows PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 Wii iOS |
The famous mode in World at War where you go around killing zombies until you die. Call of Duty: Black Ops has zombies as well, and is better than Waw's zombies because of it's depth, maps, as well as the WaW maps as Dlc, so Black Ops would be the best recommendation. | 
|
|
Cottage of Doom | 2007 | Shmup | Windows | Defend your little cottage until your inevitable doom! Use the furniture to barricade the doors and windows and hope that your friend upstairs hurries up and drops more furniture for you. There's also a L4D1/L4D2 map inspired by this game. Freeware |
|
|
Dead Island | 2011 | FPS | Windows PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 |
First person action game set on a tropical island with focus on open world exploration, melee fighting and character development through experience points and skill trees. Was said to be survival based but turned out to be much more of an action game, also suffering from a few bad development ideas and what seems to be a complete lack of bugtesting. | 
|
|
Dead Rising | 2006 | FPS | Windows PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Xbox 360 Xbox One Wii |
You play some guy who somehow ends up trapped in a mall full of zombies and fight your way through the infested to rescue survivors and investigate the outbreak. Features an open world, a ton of weapons (if you can pick it up you can kill zombies with it), crazy bossfights and multiple endings. | 
|
|
Dead Rising 2 | 2010 | FPS | Windows PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 |
Dead Rising, this time in |
|
|
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record | 2011 | FPS | Windows PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Xbox 360 Xbox One |
Frank West is back into the game! That means you can once again take erotic pictures to your heart's content. A re-imagining of the original Dead Rising 2 with new bosses, weapons and locations. There's also a sandbox mode now. | 
|
|
I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT!!!1 | 2009 | Shmup | Xbox 360 | Indie xbox 360 game, guess what is about. Really cheap, tons of fun if you like shooting randomly to zombies coming from everywhere (no joke). | 
|
|
Killing Floor | 2009 | FPS | Windows OSX |
Cooperative multiplayer FPS that puts you against increasingly dangerous waves of zombie attacks. Dark, brutal and challenging. | 
|
|
Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green | 2005 | FPS | Windows Xbox |
This is one of those "so bad it's good" games. It's a FPS made with low-budget as a prequel for the Romero movie Land of the Dead. If you can't enjoy the game the way it is, you can always mod it, and then it gets good. Pirated version works online as well. | 
|
|
Left 4 Dead | 2008 | FPS | Windows OS X Xbox 360 |
Built on the Source engine it comes with a singleplayer mode (which is basically the co-op mode with AI, but creates situations dynamically based on your actions) and an online co-op mode, versus mode and survival mode. Fight your way through several campaigns in a group of four. Easy to get into, can be tremendously fun with friends. | 
|
|
Left 4 Dead 2 | 2009 | FPS | Windows macOS Xbox 360 |
Followup to the first one, feels more like an expansion. A new story arc with several campaigns, the same multiplayer modes as before, new weapons and zombies. Also a lot harder than the first one. However the AI is a bit buggy this time, sometime killing more fun than zombies. The Windows and OSX versions also include the campaigns from the original game, so if you're considering buying Left 4 Dead and have a PC, buy this instead on Windows or OSX. |  |
|
Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ | 2008 | Shmup | Nintendo DS | It's a fun, semi-typical shmup-run 'n gun hybrid, but bosses are taken from fairy tales and shit, except zombified and horror themed. It can be rage inducing hard at times (dodging is your friend). The full game is available on DSiware for just 800 points. | 
|
|
Organ Trail: Directors Cut | 2013 | Strategy | Windows Linux macOS |
It's Oregon Trail: Zombie Apocalypse Edition. | 
|
|
Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend | 2005 | FPS | Windows Linux macOS |
If you liked Postal 2 (in case you don't know, it's a rpg/fps game based on random violence, piss on people and doing shit) you can't dislike this expansion pack, where an horde on zombies will attack the town of Paradise. | 
|
 |
Plants vs. Zombies | 2009 | Tower defense | Windows macOS Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Nintendo DS mobile |
Nothing more than an enjoyable and popular tower defense game. | 
|
|
Project Zomboid | 2011 | RPG | Windows | PZ is an indie isometric-rpg zombie-survival game. It's supposed to balance the fun between shooting at zombies and trying to find a shelter and search for food. There are randomly generated events, highly complex AI, and a crafting sistem to create weapons and other items. It is also very moddable. | 
|
|
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare | 2010 | Action-adventure | PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 |
Zombies and cowboys, what more can you ask for? | 
|
|
Resident Evil | 1996 | Survival horror | Windows PlayStation Saturn Nintendo DS |
There's no way you would think of zombie game and not think of Resident Evil. Not exactly as extremely zombie madness as the other games listed, but god damn if this doesn't have some jumps and whatnot. | 
|
|
Resident Evil 2 | 1998 | Survival horror | Windows PlayStation Nintendo 64 Dreamcast Gamecube |
And just when you thought they couldn't top the formula, Capcom deals this beautiful mother fucker out on you. Excellent story with two characters to play. | 
|
|
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis | 1999 | Survival horror | PlayStation Dreamcast Gamecube Windows |
Ok, ok, you're going back into ol' Raccoon City as Jill from the 1st, "Oh my god zombie ahhh boring." "Oh my gawd Dogs. boring." and then.. "HOLY DICKS WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ITS GOT A ROCKET LAUCHER OH DICKS." Well guess what player? NEMESIS DOESN'T STOP UNTIL YOURE DEAD. He's there one moment and then gone the next. Truly a great scare you silly game if SURPRISE! can give you a heart attack. | 
|
|
Resident Evil: Code Veronica | 2001 | Survival horror | Dreamcast PlayStation 2 GameCube PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 |
The last traditional Resi game goes out with a bang. You play as Claire on one disc, and then Chris on the next. That is to say on the dreamcast version. The superior GC/PS2/3/360 Veronica X is what you wanna play bro. Veronica is playable if you just have a Dreamcast, but Veronica X has extra shit. | 
|
|
Resident Evil Zero | 2002 | Survival horror | Windows Gamecube Wii PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Xbox 360 Xbox One |
Prequel to the og Resident Evil. You have some cool ass partner system going on which works well. Good game with great graphics, and all on 2 discs. | 
|
|
Resident Evil (Remake) | 2002 | Survival horror | Windows GameCube Wii PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Xbox 360 Xbox One |
Fancy pantsy touch up of original Resident Evil, which looks pretty and whatnot. | 
|
|
Resident Evil 4 | 2005 | Survival horror | GameCube PlayStation 2 Wii Windows PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Xbox 360 Xbox One Steam |
The game that killed the series, or revitalized it. | 
|
|
Resident Evil 5 | 2010 | Survival horror | Windows PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Xbox 360 Xbox One Steam |
Not as good as 4, but playable especially with an online bro. Gold Edition is recommended because extra shit in it. | 
|
|
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles | 2007 | Lightgun | PlayStation 3 Wii Wii U |
Basically RE0 0, 1, and 3, but with light gun-ish gameplay style, along with new side story games. | 
|
|
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chroncles | 2008 | Lightgun | PlayStation 3 Wii |
Resident Evil 2 and Code:Veronica X finally get the light gun remake treatment, along with backstory missions on Krauser and Leon. | 
|
|
Rogue Survivor | 2010 | Roguelike | Windows | As the name suggest, Rogue Survivor is a roguelike game where you have to survive in a huge town after a zombie apocalypse. Completed with simple graphic and some musics that makes the atmosphere, it's actually pretty good and can be really enjoyable. If the idea of a realistic rpg turn-based zombie apocalypse game sounds interesting to you, check it out. Freeware. | 
|
|
Stubbs The Zombie In Rebel Without A Pulse | 2005 | Action-adventure | Windows OS X Xbox Xbox 360 |
Stubbs The Zombie In: Rebel Without A Pulse is one of the very few zombie games in which you control a zombie and not a survivor. Takes a very humorous approach to the idea, comparable to Destroy All Humans in both the general style and the gameplay. Reportedly unstable on Windows Vista and 7. | 
|
|
Survival Crisis Z | 2004 | RPG / shmup / adventure | Windows | Overhead zombie game with a randomly generated city. Features an arcade survival mode and a story mode. In story mode you need to pay attention to your hunger and fatigue. There's also two factions to join, the Rebels and SWAT, but you can stay neutral if you prefer. Doing missions for one of these factions advances the plot of the game. Missions range from taking over buildings and fortifying them, escort missions, base invasions etc. You can also hire followers and acquire various skills. Freeware Vista/Win7 fix |

|
The House of the Dead | 1998 | Lightgun | Arcade Sega Saturn Windows |
Zombies work. Light Gun Games work. Sega looked at the genre's and said "why not?" Pretty good game that has an ok story with hilariously bad voice acting (series staple). | 
|
|
The House of the Dead 2 | 1999 | Lightgun | Arcade Dreamcast. |
Another Great Zombie game that has more of that awesomely stupid voice acting, but fun as fuck nonetheless. Wheres the house in all this?! | 
|
|
The House of the Dead III | 2002 | Lightgun | Arcade Xbox PlayStation 3 |
Another Great Zombie game with zombies, takes place in the future and you go into a laboratory to find your dad along with G tagging along. Now available on the PlayStation 3 via digital download with Move support. | 
|
|
The House of the Dead | 2005 | Lightgun | Arcade PlayStation 3 |
Non-system released HOTD, but cool anyway. Takes place before III for some strange reason. Now available on the PlayStation 3 via digital download with Move support. |
|
|
The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return | 2008 | Lightgun | Wii | Collection of HOTD 2 and HOTD 3 wii-ified. Pretty good transition. The wii works well with these types of games. | 
|
|
The House of the Dead Overkill | 2011 | Lightgun | Windows PlayStation 3 Wii |
MOTHERFUCKING HOTD N SHIT BADASS FUCKING GAME BRO. PS3 version has Move and 3D support. | 
|
|
The Typing of the Dead | 1999 | Edutainment | Arcade Dreamcast Windows |
TYPE OR DIE! Spin-off of The House Of The Dead, funny and challenging, lots of fun, play it. | 
|
|
The Walking Dead | 2012 | Adventure | Windows PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 iOS OS X |
Interactive zombie adventure game that actually focuses on the human condition, rather than just shooting zombies all day, every day. The Walking Dead somewhat tailors to your choices but don't expect branching story paths since it follows a linear storyline. | 
|
|
Yakuza: Dead Souls | 2012 | Action-adventure | PlayStation 3 | Yakuza vs Zombies in Japan pretty much. The inevitable zombie spin-off fan service game of the long going Yakuza series. Plays pretty arcade-ish, coupled with the standard gameplay formula of the main series and might not appeal much to people uninitiated with the Yakuza games. | 
|
|
Zombie Driver | 2009 | Vehicular combat | Windows PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 |
Indie vehicular combat game. Choose between several iconic vehicles like the taxi, the ambulance or the bus and go on a zombie mowing tour through the city. Earn money for upgrades like armor, engine tuning and onboard weapons by killing zombies and completing mission objectives. Also comes with a racing mode and a survival mode. | 
|
|
Zombies Ate My Neighbors | 1993 | Shmup | SNES Mega Drive Wii |
Relatively old but tons of fun. You have to protect your neighborhood against an invasion and rescue as many people as possible while kicking not only some serious zombie ass but also fighting werewolves, aliens, blobs, vampires and many other kinds of monsters with a variety of weapons. The sequel, Ghoul Patrol, is inferior but still pretty good. |
