Dead Rising 2
|
2010
|
Dead Rising, this time in Las Vegas and with more of everything plus crazy weapon crafting. Wolverine-like knife boxing gloves? No problem! Electrified rakes? Build it and off you go! Giant plush teddies armed with heavy machine guns? Just a few stripes of duct tape away! Tons of fun guaranteed.

Killing Floor
|
2009
|
Cooperative multiplayer FPS that puts you against increasingly dangerous waves of zombie attacks. Dark, brutal and challenging.
|
Windows, OSX
|
|
Left 4 Dead
|
2008
|
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.
|
Windows, OSX, Xbox 360

|
Left 4 Dead 2
|
2009
|
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.

Windows, OSX, Xbox 360

Resident Evil
|
1996
|
One of the best zombie related games of all time, (and the one that got survival horror off of the map) Not exactly as extremely zombie madness as the other games listed, but god damn if this doesnt have some jumps and whatnot.
|
PlayStation, Sega Saturn.
|
|
Resident Evil 2
|
1998
|
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
|
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 X
|
2001
|
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 Veronica X is what you wanna play bro. Veronica is playable if you dont have either console, but Veronica X has extra shit.
|
Sega Dreamcast (as CODE: Veronica), PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube.

|
Resident Evil 0
|
2002
|
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.
|

2002
|
Fancy pantsy touch up of original resident evil which looks pretty and whatnot.

|
Resident Evil 4
|
2005
|
FUCK YES YOU ARE THE BEST NON ZOMBIE GAME THAT IS IN A SEREIES ABOUT ZOMBIES GAME EVER! More or less a TPS, than a traditional Resident Evil Game. Replaces Zombies for angry Hispanics and whatnot from Spain. Tons of fun which has an engine used in almost every current gen TPS. If you're going with any version, go with the wii version.
|
Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii, PC.
|
|
Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition
|
2010?
|
Not as good as 4, but playable especially with an online bro. Gold Edition is recommended because extra shit in it. PC doesn't have Gold edition, I think?
|
PC, PlayStation 3, XBOX 360.

|
Stubbs The Zombie
|
2005
|
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.
|
Windows, OSX, Xbox, Xbox 360
|
|
The House Of The Dead
|
1998
|
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).
|
Arcade, Sega Saturn.
|
|
The House Of The Dead 2
|
1999
|
Another Great Zombie game that has more of that awesomely stupid voice acting, but fun as fuck nonetheless. Wheres the house in all this?!
|
Arcade, Sega Dreamcast.

2002
|
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.

The House Of The Dead 4

?
|
Non-system released HOTD, but cool anyway. Takes place before III for some strange reason.
|
Arcade.
|
|
The House Of The Dead 2 & 3 Return
|
2008
|
Collection of HOTD 2 and HOTD 3 wii-ified. Pretty good transition. The wii works well with these types of games.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors
|
