Top Ten Zombie Games

Zombies... They really know how to ruin your day. Thankfully there's a wealth of games out there to prepare you for the apocalypse, whether they be strategy, MMO's or shooters, What's it like have you covered with our top ten list of the best zombie games out there. Remember to check facebook.com/sogwhatsitlike for the bonus double tap round!

10. Zombie U

The pants-shittingly-scary Wii U exclusive from Ubisoft saw players dividing their attention from the screen to the controller when looting adding atmosphere to the game. Who can forget setting off a shopping mall alarm while scrounging for food, attracting a swarm of undead cockney geezers!

9. Dead Space

In space no one can hear you scream... In Coomera however my neighbors can! Take the desolate environment of space, add some creepy zombie like creatures and prepare to have your jocks wet as you run, hide and cry away from the creepy denizens of a derelict spacecraft.

8. Red Dead Undead Nightmare

What happens when you take possibly one of the best western games and add zombies to it? You get Red Dead Undead Nightmare! Riding through the plains of the west while using your trusty 6 shooter to dispose of the undead has never been more satisfying. Great humor takes the mickey out of zombie stereotypes making this a fun, yet suspenseful adventure.

7. Dead Island

The Zombie lovers Borderlands. Dead Island launched as a sleeper hit, selling out Australia wide in its first week. The trailer was so simple, yet caused a craze over this game. Players could craft weapons and level up their characters as they romp through a holiday resort, overrun city and a forest teeming with our undead friends.

6. Day Z

Heard of Arma 2? If you have it could be because of this game. Playing like Operation Flashpoint, Day Z sees you running around a massive game world not only avoiding zombies but other players who are out to get you and your supplies. Trust No-one.

5. Run! Zombies!

I used to be really fat... Now I can outrun an Olympian thanks to this game! The concept is you're a courier in the zombie apocalypse and you have to run (in real life) to complete missions to upgrade your survival outpost. As you run the sounds of zombies get closer or further away depending on your speed. Who would have thought exercise could be an even more terrifying experience for gamers?

4. Walking Dead (Telltale Series)

Telltale have mastered the art of telling a story with this one. Brutal decisions effect every aspect of play as you fight to survive an protect a young girl. The game features brilliant, cel shaded inspired graphics and a story that will have you in tears by the end. Bring some tissues...

3. Plants Vs Zombies

A bit of a light hearted look at the zombie apocalypse, PvZ is a top down strategy games that has you defending your house by planting an array of plant based weaponry. Humorous animations and addictive gameplay make you keep playing over and over. If you own a smartphone then you must own this great title!

2. Left 4 Dead

An early Xbox 360 and PC title for the current gen and it's still massively popular today. Left 4 Dead is a four player co-op action game where you must work as a team to survive. Interesting zombie types have you sneaking or fighting your way through a desolate post apocalypse world.

1. The Last of us

What a way to send the PS3 off. The last of us is a story about loss, love and above all else, fighting for what you believe in. I can't delve into the story to much as I don't want to spoil it but on top of the slick action and creepy atmosphere is something you don't find in many action games... heart. The last of us is a masterfully crafted game that surprises the player at every turn. The closest thing to Zombie Game perfection you can get...
