Why it's simple! Just add Zombies! The people who will be suckered into it are bound to be as mindless as the rotting corpses in your video game!

So why don't we take this time to add a zombie mode to games who haven't jumped on the really old rotting bandwagon yet!

I'll start off: Zombie Mama.
Cooking Mama is at it again, but this time she's kneading BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINSS!!

'The only thing better than killing a Nazi zombie is killing a Nazi zombie..in the face...with a bazooka...that you made...while pleasuring a woman...who was knitting a blanket made of freedom'

Priceless.

Make a 2D platformer which isn't a scavenger hunt. (and has a good engine of course)

uummm

spyro the zombie dragon screw eggs and fire flys those rhinocs have some damn good BBBRRRRAAAIIINNSSS!

Grand Theft Auto IV: Sustantivo City

Basically steal cars and use them to run over zombies. You are able to get on top of buildings and thrown molotov cocktails at zombies plus make use of the sniper rifle.

Instead of a wanted level you have a Contamination level.

1 Zombie Head


At a one-zombie head contamination Level, zombies will follow and attempt to consume the player. They move Romero style. The search radius for one zombie head is approximately two city blocks. The player is unable to buy any items (weapons, clothes, or food [except from vending machines and street vendors]), enter a taxi as a passenger, enter bars or clubs, or partake in activities like TV, darts, bowling, etc., while being chased by zombies. Driving over zombies will cause little damage to the car and speed will not be reduced.

2 Zombie Heads


At a two-zombie head contamination Level, Zombies now chase the player (28 Days later style), rather than simply following behind. Zombies will band together to form small hordes. These hordes will attempt to block your car's path. Zombies can smash out your windows if your car is stopped and pull you from your car if you do not have your seat belt engaged. If the seat belt is engaged they will simple lower your health until you are dead. Driving over zombies will cause minor damage to the car and speed will be reduced by 25%.

3 Zombie Heads


At a three-zombie head contamination Level, zombies more aggressive in their pursuit, attempting to pin the player's vehicle against buildings and turn the vehicle over. Zombies will jump out of windows and land on your vehicle which causes moderate damage. Driving over zombies will cause moderate damage to the car and speed will be reduced by 50%.


4 Zombie Heads


At a four-zombie head contamination Level, zombies will act much like they do with a three-zombie head contamination level except there are slightly more in each group. There is also one more major difference: A tank zombie will be released and will immediately go after the player and his vehicle. Tank zombies can charge through buildings and smash the player's car causing major damage. Tank Zombies can throw cars at the player or their vehicle causing major damage. Tank zombies can grab the player's vehicle and throw it two to four blocks at a time which destroys the player's vehicle and causes major health damage. Driving over zombies will cause moderately high damage to the car and speed will be reduced by 75%.


5 Zombie Heads


At a five-zombie head contamination Level, zombies will form "herds" which is literally about a 1000 zombies blocking your path or chasing you. Hiding in buildings is useless because the zombies will enter the building and fill every room. Tank zombies form into groups of three. Driving through herds of zombies causes major damage to your vehicle and speed is reduced by 100%.

pffft easy

Some games do zombies well and others don't.

Call of Duty: Zombies does it well.

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare does it well.

Left 4 Dead also does it well.

Gears of War shouldn't have a zombie mode, Metroid shouldn't have a zombie mode, if Zelda keeps it up with the face-humping zombies they shouldn't have a zombie mode and should be kept 100 miles away from any game studio that does have a zombie mode.

Halo doesn't really have a zombie mode, but an infection mode, like Area 51 on the consoles had.

What about a game where you're an Imperial Guardsmen fighting on a world with Nurgle's Rot and there's lots of Nurgle Zombies?

C'mon, laser guns and zombies, what's not to like?
