So that lame little browser game that Chef linked and you guys are all into got me thinking, and despite the fact that I would never be able to get into that game, I found the whole topic itself to be pretty cool.  Like, you were all hiding out in WAREHOUSES and talking about finding shelter and fuel and food and hospitals and guns and tools and really it just struck me that SURVIVING ZOMBIE ONSLAUGHT is a really appealing prospect to me.  So I am thinking, and because at this point I have given up on ever playing ZOMBIE MMO that will not blow terribly, there are two other options: regular games and pen and paper RPGs.

There is Left 4 Dead in a few months, and that looks cool for sure, but it looks too action-driven as well, and not focused enough on cool shit like HIDING OUT//FINDING TOOLS which is really the part I've got a boner for.  The only other zombie games I can think of are like... beat em ups, arcade shooter games like House of the Dead or whatever, and obviously Resident Evil which is alright but kind of OLD HAT.  If anyone has any suggestions for video games, that would be fly.

But then I was thinking about the P&P RPGs and those seem kind of open-ended and cool along the same vein as that browser-based game but uh... idk somehow tolerable.  Here's what I've found so far:

I'm actually not sure if the third one is a game or FICTION, but yeah, the first one seems pretty casual and very cool sounding, and it and the third one also have that campy OHNO CITY//URBAN AREA FULL OF ZOMBIES feel which is exactly what I want, but then the second one seems pretty in-depth and it goes on for like 50 years ingame, and that also struck me as being neat.  My brother's into this shit too, and we'd been talking about like... D&D shit lately, but both of us have sort of a distaste for high fantasy so this is opportune, and maybe we'd get some dudes together and do it.  Soooo yeah, these are basically all I can find.  Has anyone played them?  And if so, what do you think?  But I mean, if you know of any other tabletop RPGs like this, tell me about them, because I'm really in the market for as many options as possible and I don't know enough about this to know where to find out about every single one that's been made.  There are ton of other HIGH FANTASY ZOMBIE ones but I'm only looking for ones in contemporary settings, like your average zombie movie or whatever.

Thanks for the list!  That looks like a lot more games than I was expecting or knew how to find.

Also, this Survival Crisis Z or whatever is a lot like what I wanted.  The graphics are kind of weak, though, and the controls are awkward, which makes basic navigation/shooting like 50 zombies at a time something of a pain.  A more modern version of this would be great, though!

This would be a cool Paintball game. You start off with like ten zombies vs. 2 survivors. Survivors get paintball guns and can only kill the zombies with headshots. The zombies only have to tag you. To make it interesting, you'd play on a hill map, where you defend a fort. (obvious)
That would beat any game zombie sim!

I'm totally serious about this too. I'll probably do this next time I go paintballing. Damn it'd be intense!
You'd have to funnel the area they can come up, and you'd have limited ammo! defending for say five minutes. Wow I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier! It would be freakin' insane man.

That would be a fucking excellent paintball game. It'd be so fun, even if you were a zombie. Just run like fuck and hope that you tag someone.

BTW... there already is a Paintball Zombie Gamemode...
Zombies and Surviviors both have guns (cause, seriously... who would go down there without the ability to shoot)
If a Zombies shoots a Survivior anywhere... they become a Zombies... (They being Survivior)
If a Survivior headshots a Zombies. they become a Survivior (they being Zombies)
If a Survivior shoots a Zombies anywhere other then the head... nothing happens.
One side wins once there are no more players on the other side.
Basic... Simple... Fun...

CAN WE PLEASDE STAYT ONTOPIC HER!!!!!
