By Cassie Collier


A disproportionately large number of modern video games and films involve zombies. As undead folks who live by eating the flesh of the living, zombies are the ideal villains for movies and games. However, in spite of their deadly makeup, they are usually shown as stupid and slow, which enables a user to simply defeat a zombie in one to one combat. However, zombies move in huge groups, and that is why fighting them is always a challenge.

Since the zombies are always out to catch any living person, any game that features zombies has an exciting plot in which the gamer has to fight off zombies to continue to exist. The flash game may be set outdoors, or indoors. On the whole console and computer video games that includes zombies are first person shooters. Nevertheless, when it comes to flash games, there is much more variety when you want to play zombie games.

Plants vs. Zombies is an example of a flash-based video game that features zombies, however is not a first person shooter. In this game you have to prevent a horde of zombies from invading your home by planning several types of plants. In spite of its straightforward plot, Plants vs. Zombies has millions of fans who have made it the most popular flash-based zombie game.

However, it has become so admired that its developers have ported it for Xbox, iPad and other platforms. Its popularity and portability gives us an indication of how addictive zombie video games can be.

Since the game Plants vs. Zombies calls for defending your home against an invasion from a horde of zombies, it is called a Tower Defense game, which is a genre of video games. One of the most popular genres concerning zombies is Survival Horror. In such video games, the player is weaker than in action games, as a result he or she has to avoid the enemies. These games count on the player to work out several puzzles and other kinds of problems.

An example of a game from this style is Left 2 Die. In this video game the user has to flee a home within 2 days by avoiding and fighting off zombies. As the user, you have several weapons that you may use on any zombies you face, but typically you need to solve some puzzles to flee from the house.

Another multi-player flash game featuring zombies is SAS: Zombie Assault 3. In this flash game you play a military commando that has to fight off zombies to survive. This game could be played in co-op mode involving up to 4 players.

Zombies are the ideal targets when you want to play a "shoot em up" type of game that involves indiscriminate shooting, one such flash game is Redneck vs. Zombies. This flash-based flash game is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which the user has to eradicate the zombies by shooting them from a helicopter.

You will discover zombie games that involve building cities that have been attacked by zombies like Rebuild 2, which reminds us of Sim City. This game is set in a city that has been devastated by zombies, and in which you're tasked with rebuilding it, one building at a time. Rebuild the city, at the same time as managing farms, food supply, morale, housing and other factors so that you can push back and defeat the zombies by rebuilding your city.

Zombie flash games are entertaining since they allow you to shoot other folks without feeling any guilt regarding it. In view of the fact that the zombies are already dead, shooting them does not leave you with any guilt. Zombies make good enemies since you tend not to feel terrible taking them out.

However, there is more to such video games than just shooting zombies. A lot of the following video games involve problem solving, as well as puzzle-solving, whereas others expect you to strategize and repair cities. The one thing these games share, apart from zombies, is the destruction of everything that is normal. By killing off zombies, and defeating them to the last man, you may make the game world a better place again.
