I love zombies! There, I said it! I enjoy how many games delve into the various aspects of terror caused by reanimated corpses. Wanted to start there so people understand where I'm coming from.
Now, that being said/typed, I'm so tired of seeing zombies in games! Don't get me wrong, some games are fine, and zombies are much cooler now than when they were D&D fodder. However, the prevalence of zombies in games is really getting old and stale!
I can't believe they made an expansion to Red Dead Redemption based solely on the game being zombified! Doesn't that seem gimmicky to anybody else?! I like zombie games, but only the games ABOUT zombies! I don't want zombies added in to try to trick me into buying a game I like that has nothing to do with the undead! On top of that is the numerous horrible games that weren't really thought out and people are expected to buy them just because you're killing zombies. Gimme a break!
I think it's high-time that we as comsumers recognize that zombies are at a point where they deserve to be taken beyond hype and given solid games only. Personally, I'm tired of seeing cheap zombie games everywhere just because zombies are selling right now.
That's it for now. Zombie rant over. Thanks for reading.
