Wicked Zombie Games set for Release in 2015

New to my Husbands "gaming world" and not really sure what to write about, I thought that I would delve into his thoughts a little... Zombies! He is always coming up with ridiculous situations in which I am to decide what I would do at that moment had there been a zombie apocalypse. My answer is always that I would be the first to die; I’m not exactly a survivalist. Fortunately for me, I think it's going to be quite some time before that happens and 2015 is bringing a handful of zombie infested games for me to practice with. So, if anybody out there is lacking survivor skills and needs a little practice before the big zombie invasion, or just likes to destroy flesh eating corpses for the hell of it, you should probably check out some of the games on this list.

Dying Light (February 2015)

"Dying Light is an action survival horror game presented in first-person perspective. The game is set in a vast and dangerous open world.

Having fun playing the Arma 2 mod DayZ? Well, you can have even more fun playing the standalone retail version set to be released in the summer of 2015!

Haven’t heard of DayZ? In this game, you are one of the few that have survived in an open world post-soviet state that has been hit by an unknown infection and has wiped out the world’s population; you must search the vast wasteland in order to fight for your life against what is left of the population, now infected with disease.

This series returns to its roots with a re-mastered version of its original game released in 1996 and again re-made in 2002.

Not familiar with Resident Evil? Resident Evil is a survival horror classic in which an elite task force known as S.T.A.R.S (Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine) struggle against hordes of zombies and various other mutants in a mysterious mansion. As players explore the mansion, they will discover clues and puzzles, and depending on the player's actions, the game ends with different outcomes.
