The games Zombie Shooter and Zombie Shooter 2 should be added, but I don't have much information on them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.168.237 ( talk) 04:40, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Would Doom/Doom2 or Doom 3 not count as ZOmbie games? In Doom 2 Three types of Zombies made up most of the game enemies (Even though I guess they are not the typical zombie in a since the wield guns.) Nonetheless, Half of the Doom 3 enemeis are Zombies, most being the slow, flesh eating type. - 65.30.143.155 ( talk) 01:39, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

some people seem to be confused about the different between zombies, the flood. The flood are parasites that take over the body even if there living. Last time I checked zombies were the walking dead.

RE: red-linked articles
Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-08-11/Growth study "....adding redlinks actually spurs others to create new articles."
On the other hand, if there are no sources for a game, then the game should be removed from the list.
Thank you for patroling and maintaining this list User:Someone another, and keeping such awesome edit summaries.
I personally feel that some red linked names should be included.
Name | Year | Platform | Description | Removal reason |
---|---|---|---|---|
I Will Survive | 2012 | PC, Mac | 2D comic style action adventure game, following the stories of many different characters in a post apocalyptic world. [1] | [1] |
I Shall Remain | 2012 | Windows | Real-time strategy game players control a squad of soldiers and must fight to survive on a massive scale by a plague. Mutants must also be defeated. [2] | Removed I Shall Remain, no article to link to |
Undead Empire | 2011 | Xbox 360 | Released on Microsoft's Xbox Live Indie Games channel, up to four players can play online through 30 stages of undead enemies, including 3 bosses, while purchasing various guns, turrets, and upgrades. [3] | Removed Undead Empire - no article and I can find no suitable sources to create one. The upcoming PC and iOS versions are much more likely to gain coverage, so I will look for sources when they are released.) |
Dead Hunt | 2005 | PC | Removed Dead Hunt (redlink), sorry I can't find a single good source for this, let alone enough to make an article | |
Zombie Survivor | 2011 | PSP | Game where players choose one of a option to continiue . [4] | Removed Zombie Survivor - sorry but there's no relevant sources out there for me to create an article on it, in which case there's no point in it being here |
Kids vs. Zombies | 2009 | iPhone OS, Android | Third-person shooter, three kids must use their unique weapons to defend the playground from a horde of evil zombies. [5] | Removed Kids Vs. Zombies, the list should not contain redlinks and the game's notability is not great. That and the fact that I don't want to have to make an article every time someone leaves a redlink - maintaining the list is work enough |
Nation Red | 2011 | Windows | Players fight through increasingly difficult levels against an onslaught of zombies and zombie bosses. |
Removed Nation Red (no article) - a review was published in PC Gamer UK, but the 'quote' on Metacritic is the same as the end of the GamesRadar article, meaning they're the same piece, IE one source, no potential for an article.
metacritic - 2 reviews |
Zombie Pandemic | 2011 | Browser | An MMORPG where players try to keep their character alive in a zombie infested city. [6] | Removed Zombie Pandemic - article deleted at AFD |
Billy Genocide | 2009 | Online Arcade, PC | Side scrolling combat game Play Billy a depressed sociopath, as you battle the undead in this enthralling zombie game . [7] | Removed Billy Genocide - non-notable flash game with no reliable sources for its own article, that I can find |
Zafehouse | 2008 | Windows | A turn-based apocalyptic zombie simulator. [8] | Removed Zafehouse - I would have liked to have made an article for it, but the only usable source outside of Logan himself is at RPS, not enough for an article, sorry |
Fubar: Kilroy Was Here | 2011 | iPhone/Android | Zombies meet World War II. Sgt. Kilroy is dropped onto the French Countryside only to encounter Zombie Nazi soldiers. [9] | Removed FUBAR, sorry but I can't find enough sources to make an article and the list is for games with articles |
iZombie: Death March | 2009 | iPhone OS | Action/Arcade game the player has to survive zombies, and defend against chainsaw monsters, demonic dogs, flying skulls, and more surprises. Multiple difficulty levels and chilling missions to choose from. Unlock missions, weapons, and cheats. Battle through graveyards, abandoned fields, industrial bunkers and treacherous roadways. [10] | Removed iZombie Death March for the same reason. I'd create an article for it, but I can't be bothered to invest time in churning out articles on generic mobile games. |
No More Room In Hell | Coming Q1 2011 | PC, Windows | Realistic first person shooter. No More Room in Hell is the long awaited HL:2 zombie modification. It was the first zombie mod announced for source. Visit www.nomoreroominhell.com for more info. | Removed No More Room in Hell, sorry but entries in the list should have articles |
Dead Frontier RESTORED |
2010-Present | Browser, PC | Dead Frontier takes place in a post-apocalypse setting, where the world is overrun with zombies. It focuses on the city of Fairview, a typical concrete jungle, teeming with zombie life. Most of the action takes place in the Inner City where survivors are attempting to scavenge supplies in order to survive. [11] | Removed Dead Frontier, this list is for games with articles only. It is unfortunate that the game hasn't received enough coverage for an article, but until that changes it doesn't belong here |
Dead State | Unreleased | Windows | A turn-based RPG set in a zombie apocalypse scenario. [12] | Removed Dead State, sorry it's a technicality but there's no article to link to. I would have created one, but right now it'd probably be deleted for crystal-balling. |
Zombie Master | 2007 | Windows | A multiplayer Half-Life 2 mod, in each round a player assumes the role of zombie master and controls all the zombies in play while the other players, as humans, must try to survive the map. [13] | Removed Zombie Master, article has been deleted |

2011 | Windows | A tactical real time strategy game. Control characters in a 3rd person isometric view through a Zombie survival scenario. [14] |
Removed Trapped Dead, sorry but there's no article and nobody is in a position to write one yet, 50 metacritic |
Zombie Wonderland RESTORED |
2010 | iPhone OS | Chuck must defend four different homes from zombie attack by securing windows and blasting zombies with his shotgun. [15] | Zombie Wonderland has been deleted, removed |
Zombie vs. Ambulance | 2005 | Playstation 2 | A Japan-only game in which players drive an ambulance through a zombie-infested city, running over zombies and picking up survivors to return to the hostpital before they zombify. | Removed Zombie Vs Ambulance/Zombie Virus, sorry but the list is just for games with articles |
Zombie Bowl-O-Rama | 2009 | Win | Arcade style bowling game in which the pins are zombies of unspecified origin. Different power-ups provide advantages or disadvantages for the players, some of which zombie related (Such as a reference to Michael Jackson's Thriller). |
Removed Zombie Bowl-o-rama. I was intending to create an article, but TBH the sources available are minimal and I don't want to create a weak article. Red-links shouldn't be here long-term.)

Is this column actually necessary? In the best case scenario it throws in a number out of 100 but offers no actual information about what reviewers did or didn't like about the game.

Guys there's a new upcoming huge official zombie MMO for Playstation 4, set to release this year (2014). It's called H1Z1
there’s this other game of zombies that i made an account to say it and is SAS: Zombie Assault 4 I played it when i was younger — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guest 477 ( talk • contribs) 01:37, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
I'm just wondering what the qualifiers for including entries on the list are? In the article it says "strongly features zombies" but is Minecraft really a "zombie" game then? There are also a lot of red links in the table and the discussion about including them says if they have an article then include them, otherwise no. However there are many games without articles so should they all go? One of the other reasons I'm asking is because I recently found a list of The 50 Greatest Zombie Games Ever and looked at seeding the list with some of these, but some titles include things like Castlevania that, like Minecraft, really doesn't feature zombies very prominently. So where is the line drawn? Bil Simser ( talk) 14:44, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
I added this game best I could. I was very surprised it wasn't included, nor discussed at all on the talk page. But looking through the page edit history, I found what I would have expected it has been added and removed several times, and I have continued the trend. I'm supposing some people like to mention how the word zombie is never used and the fact the infection is caused by a fungus the cordyceps, and therefore claim it is not a true zombie game...Well it is so blatantly a zombie game, it has all the traits of a zombie game, many zombie fictions across many media don't mention the Z word, and the fact it's a fungus is only a plot idea by the writers to make the infection seem a little more scientifically possible as far as zombies can be. Everything about them is zombie-like, and the game is always reffered to as a zombie game. The article about the game itself is within the Category:Zombie video games. Similar discussions have been had about whether to include 28 days later: in the zombie movie categories ( here, here and here), but it too has always been called such despite having "infected" and never using the Z word. I know there not dead, but a genre is about artistic style, and this type of game or film definitely has the zombie style all about it and gets described as such. I too am now adding to an argument I hoped I would never get involved in. Carl wev 05:43, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Would it be a good idea to add this game to the list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waterfiend ( talk • contribs) 12:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
There's no denying that this is an important list. Zombie games are incredibly popular, and it doesn't look like this trend will be slowing down any time soon. With that said, this list is in bad shape. The lead says that the list includes games where zombies are the primary focus, but it includes several games where they are merely one of several types of enemies, like Minecraft. We also need a clear cut definition of what a zombie is. Certain games like State of Decay and H1Z1: Just Survive straight up refer to the enemies as zombies, while other games like Left 4 Dead dance around the concept, and simply call them infected. Finally, the table needs to be better organized. The year release and platforms are fine, but we should also include genre, as there's a zombie game in virtually every genre now. Also, is it important to include a description? Anyway, I wanted to hear your opinions on the matter. I love zombie games of any kind, and would be more than willing to put some serious effort into this list. However, I'd like to see some feedback on how to improve the list. Famous Hobo ( talk) 00:31, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Yeah we need a good definition of what a zombie game is. I think that a solid definition of what games should be included on the list is:
Now onto what to do if the game doesn't refer to the main enemy as a zombie, but as infected, walkers, or whatever:
It's not the best list of what games should or should not be included, but at least it's a start. We'll have to put a good definition in the lead, so as to immediately clarify the parameters of the list. When it comes to the Resident Evil debacle, I really don't know how to deal with it, especially since I've never played a Resident Evil game. There's no denying the series' importance to zombie video games, but even then, are zombies the main focus of those games? Finally, I've started to outline what the list would look like with proper formatting and referencing. It's in my sandbox (ignore the bottom part, I'm also working on another list).

Yeah we need a good definition of what a zombie game is. I think that a solid definition of what games should be included on the list is:
Now onto what to do if the game doesn't refer to the main enemy as a zombie, but as infected, walkers, or whatever:
It's not the best list of what games should or should not be included, but at least it's a start. We'll have to put a good definition in the lead, so as to immediately clarify the parameters of the list. When it comes to the Resident Evil debacle, I really don't know how to deal with it, especially since I've never played a Resident Evil game. There's no denying the series' importance to zombie video games, but even then, are zombies the main focus of those games? Finally, I've started to outline what the list would look like with proper formatting and referencing. It's in my sandbox (ignore the bottom part, I'm also working on another list).

Why is Days Gone all the way at the top? I thought this list was alphabetical? -- Osh33m ( talk) 19:51, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Back 4 Blood could likely use an entry here.--Surv1v4l1st ╠ Talk║ Contribs╣ 04:52, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
Listen skal omgående revideres, fordi der er nogle spil i den, der er tilgængelige til PS4 og ikke er opført eller er angivet forkert. Du var i stand til at rette op på det. Jeg vil ikke gøre det, ellers ville det siges at være forkert, selvom jeg har dem til PS3 og PS4 og endda kan bevise det med en app. Aabbyyee ( talk) 15:28, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
