Zombies, Zombies Everywhere. Too Many, I Do Think

Hey everyone. J.P. Here with the latest news in the Gaming World. With Call of Duty: Black Ops soon to be releasing November 9Th, this has made me excited to finally play a new game. Pretty much I will have a week until all the hackers find all the glitches in the game and make it suck. I love the fact though, that there is a new Nazi Zombie type game for it. I was excited because I love zombie games, but then I started to realize something. There are a lot of Zombie Games out there now, maybe a little bit too much.

With the release of the Undead Nightmare DLC (Downloadable Content) pack for Red Dead Redemption, Zombie Island of Dr. Ned for Borderlands, Left 4 Dead 1 + 2, Dead Rising 1 + 2(which by the way. Dead Rising 2 was Awesome and I just got all the endings to it. Took me some time to beat it though. Highly Recommended Game), and many more out there. I feel a bit swamped with zombie games. I really like the concept of a zombie game but when it is created solely due to a fad, (Yes. I hate saying it, but if you look back at how many zombie games were created back then and how many are created now. All this sudden interests of zombie games make it a fad. It's sad but true.) it isn't as great as it once was.

I was confused on why they would make an zombie game for Red Dead Redemption. I mean, that just throws the whole game off in my opinion. The Island of Dr. Ned was really short and you could easily beat it. It almost seemed like there was no point in having that add-on except to make a little extra money. It is as if the programmers don't spend enough time on the add-on to make it great. I feel they just say to themselves, "Hey let's make some more money but how? Oh lets make an add-on to a game and add zombies too it. But lets not spend a lot of time working on it." Games need to be either completely zombie based or part of the game when released, not an add-on.

I feel that the Video Game Industry needs to slow down a bit. Take a breather on all the zombie games. This way, we don't get burned out on that great genre and will still enjoy all the great zombie killing action that we have known to love. I would just hate to see a great zombie game come out and say to it, "Man. Not another zombie game."

Until next time. Keep on gaming..
