I personally think zombies have been overused in many video games. Here is a list of a few games that use them.
1. Left For Dead (1 and 2)
2. Black Ops
3. Plants vs. Zombies
4. Wolfenstien (I dont remember which one but there is)
5. Doom (Very old game)
6. Resident Evil (all of them)
7. The House of the Dead
8. Dead Rising
9. Call of Duty World at War: Zombies
10. Dead Space (1 and 2)
Those are just 10 of the hundreds made. What do you think of this? Should new enemies be made or should zombies be improved to the point they can add a greater challenge by wielding weapons instead of overrunning you?

I definitely think that developers need to calm down on the zombie idea. I never liked it in the first place, and now every other game you hear is "saved from a zombie apocalypse" or something dumb like that. Be creative, people!

They're different kinds of games. I have L4D and L4D2, Plants vs. Zombies, and Black Ops and I still love zombies.

I think that zombies are really over used too. Like every game has something about zombies now. OK, lots of them but you get the idea. I also think that this forum was dead. And now somebody brought it back to life making it a Zombie forum. According to the Rules and Regulations that is not allowed.

lol the topic is just pointless.. as much as it could be as
"SCI-FI IS OVERUSED!"
1. HALO
2. BLAH-BLAH
(nine more games)

Yes, there are dozens of games about zombies, so is that bad? There lots of modern war games as well... or fantasy...
what's the matter? if you don't like the genre then just don't play. That's it P:

I think that every time that someone has a good idea everyone copy's it. The first person that came up with the idea of zombies in a movie/ game must have been very successful, so now everyone copied them. Soon people will become sick of zombies and some new thing will come out.

Zombie games are: OK. Some games (such as Union City) are incredible zombies games. Zombie games are getting to boring though and new ones need to come out.

I don't think they are really "overused" they just seem that way because every zombie game is similar.

I believe that zombie games are amazing but i feel from everyone i play is 'You know its not that scary' what i think makes a good zombie game is the scare factor. They have to add something new. something no person has thought of maybe even a zombie game where you are the zombie? Or your the person who created the zombies?
