Zombies in Video Games

A game becomes increasingly bad ass if they add some form of Zombies. We've seen that in Saints Row 2. Recently there has been a large spurt of special Zombie cameos in numerous video games.

For Halloween Grand Theft Auto IV released on Xbox Live a zombie outbreak skin. If you get killed by a player who is a zombie- you'll become one too. Your character gets naked sporting a pair of yellow panties with a cute little Rockstar logo on them. If you own GTAIV you can check out the Social Club for the latest on the zombie outbreak.



World of Warcraft's Halloween event consisted of green glowing zombies that if touched will curse you with Zombie Madness that lasts for 10 minutes. Afterwards you'll be a zombie with zombie powers, from which you can wreak havoc. Kotaku has some pretty pictures. I found one spectator quote, "They were fucking shit up."

By the way- I fucking hate World of Warcraft.

The latest, and best, recent Zombie addition is Call of Duty: World at War's extra Zombie Mode called Nazi Zombies, playable after you complete the game. It has a point system, so after you shoot down some dead Nazi fucks you can switch/upgrade your weapons and unlock/put-up barriers. Like Left 4 Dead, it's a team-based communication game that I'm very excited to play.
