I'm Done With Zombies

Danielle D of VideoGameOlogists.com writes:

"That’s it, I’ve had it. Don’t care if the zombie craze is still alive and thumping, to me its novelty is growing old and wore out. And why is that?

Over the years, we have seen different iterations of the zombie mob. Whether they are slow in pace or fast runners, all zombies do one main thing: eat anything alive. If it’s alive it’s on the menu regardless of who or what it is. These deceased beings have also had their share of philosophical discussions and explorations about humanity as a whole. Never could I imagine a time in history where people would be debating the technicalities on whether zombies were still humans or not. One thing is clear though; they are the modern day enemy that should be feared."

I'm not done with Zombies...now what?

Jobesy5251d ago

I'm not either. But then again I don't rush out and buy every game with a zombie in it, rather I buy good games that happen to have zombies in it.

Haha, silly post, but a good one.

N4G needs to separate gaming news and gossip blogs

Try

Not perfect, but filters out a lot of the rubbish

Funny how the we don't need any more zombie games started just after The Last of Us was announced...

Tommykrem5251d ago

It really did start sometime during the 80's.

Bimkoblerutso5251d ago

You can't deny that there's been something of a zombie renaissance in gaming over the past few years. Yes, we've had zombies in games since their inception, but it wasn't until recently that nearly every genre in the medium was inundated with zombie games. Even the puzzle genre has a few zombie games for chissakes.

It's not that there's anything wrong with zombie games. Companies just have a way of twisting fads into bats and bludgeoning us over the head with them until we finally submit...in fact that's a more appropriate metaphor than I intended.

@Bimko
Not sure if I entirely agree with that. The popularity of zombies comes and goes in waves (just like zombies themselves). There have been other times where every movie and game have been zombie related. I guess this is a popularity spike, and definitely one of the bigger ones.

Ok, you've done with zombies, but I'm still waiting Lollipop Chainsaw! :D

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle16d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg22d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree22d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai22d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde23d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy23d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12523d ago (Edited 23d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
