The year is 2105. The world is over ran by zombies. The infection started in China, got everyone there, then to the middle east, getting 75% of the population of that area, all others are hidden.

Now, you're wondering how it gets to the Americas. These Zombies remember things they learned while human, if eating enough. You, and a group of survivors are getting to an Air force base to go to the safest place, England. On the way, however, you are bitten on yur arm. You have a choice, become a zombie, or amputate the arm. Both have positives.

Amputation means you eventually get a cybernetic arm, and for enough money, you can upgrade it with things like Grapple Hook, Grenade Launcher, and many other things. You go on with out an arm for a fourth of the game.

Turning means you start as a brainless drone but, the more people you eat, you gain evolution points for 'remembering' certain things, making you able to speak again, use weapons, and drive vehicles. Though your weaker than you would be as a human.

that is a great idea actually. maybe you only get the choice to become a zombie when you get killed or hurt, or you can start altogether as a zombie..very cool idea..i would make that dang game if i knew how to program..

Graham, you do realize 8-9 on a scale of 1 to 10 is very high, right? Your comment sounds like you don't like it all that much, so why the high rating... 5 is an average game. Anything below is worse, anything above is better.

Anywho. Sounds like a pretty cool idea. I don't really see any positives in becoming a zombie, though, what would the motivation be for the player to select that?

I think that would be an awesome idea. I really want to have a freeroaming game. Set out like Fallout for example, where you have to collect stuff to make your own shelter whereever you want and then help people out as you explore and stuff and just try to get by.

With your idea though, the one thing I hate about games with zombies is there's always some kind of catch. There are never games where the only bad guys are just plain old slow moving, idiot zombies who only use numbers to their advantage. I find that special zombie types ruin very promising games very often.

The zombies, can also gain super human abilities if chosen, such as strength, speed, able to fall from the Empire State building and live, that fun stuff.

Sounds pretty cool. I have another idea. An alien crash lands in Washington D.C. and dies, but unleashes an incurable pathogen on the populace. With no cure all who are infected are transformed into horrific creatures who have lost their ability to reason, think, and behave like a human. As the behaviorial involution becomes complete, Washington D.C. begins to fall to the most basic, animalistic destruction ever witnessed. Not with bombs or guns, but with a virus and those it infects. With no other option, the government orders a complete quarantine of Washington D.C., isolating it from the rest of the US and eventually the world. With nowhere to go, the trapped survivors are left to fend for themselves in a cage of violence and savagery, or succumb to the mind destroying pathogen that has claimed so many lives already.

Rate this as well in addition to Sarthra's.

Oh and the zombies in mine are gradually evolving to become more and more powerful but unlike Sarthra's the pathogen prevents those it infects from remembering anything, partly what makes them more animalistic and savage.

i think you should merge together in a way that you can PICK whether you remember stuff or just be a superhuman savage..9/10 both ideas....10/10 if you merged them. Man you guys have good ideas

Quentin, A man who gets kicked out of his house by his wife and is forced to take Derek, their son decides to look for a home. He has very little money because of the divorce, and decides to move into a small house in Santa Rosa. Quentin then enrolls Derek in Santa Rosa Junior High. While in the school, he meets the science teacher, Mr. Raul. The science teacher is abruptly cut short of his conversation when he is called to the office. Later that night, while Derek is doing his homework, he decides to go to a strip club out of town. There he meets a beautiful blonde woman named Miranda. She offers him a lap dance and then asks if he wants to see her topless. He fails to answer due to a sickening half screech-moan and the power going out, then coming back on within seconds. Everyone is relieved that the power is back on, but riot breaks out suddenly when an arm breaks through one of the walls at the strip club and several zombies rush through the door. Quentin grabs Mirandaâs hand tightly as she screeches loudly. He rushes toward the back exit, when he is tripped at the foot by a zombie. He is almost certain that this is the moment that he is going to die, when the zombie overhead has its head exploded by a bullet. Next thing he notices a man in a mask helps him up and out of the room. He, Miranda, and Quentin are the only survivors at the club. Quentin rushes home in his car with the man and Miranda. He asks who the man is, and he replies that his name is agent Jones. Quentin quickly thanks Jones, and reaches the front of his house, to find his son dead, ripped limb from limb. He shudders, while Jones shoots a zombie square in the face. Miranda screams out loud âWhat the hell are these things!!!â
Agent Jones asks Quentin where the computer is, and agent Jones loads up a file on a floppy disk. They view it for about five minutes, when a zombie shows up in the room. Quentin grabs Jonesâs gun and shoots the zombie in the face. In rage, he screams out âYou killed my son you f***inâ basturd!!!â and he repeatedly shoots the zombie in the face. Jones grabs the gun when it is out of ammo. Miranda rushes over to comfort Quentin. They walk over to the TV and look at a previous recording of the news in Santa Rosa. It shows the broadcaster talking about the zombies, when a zombie shoots a hand straight through his face. Just then, Mr. Raul rushes through the door saying âWe gotta move fast.â They quickly get in the car and Jones takes them to his hideout. They stock up on ammo and weapons, and walk out into the night.
