Welcome to Morning Hangover -- an excellent way to start your day with the crew at TheFeed...no matter what you're recovering from. Every morning you'll hear musings from our editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world.
Last week was a big one for lovers of zombie slaying (aka everyone), as Left 4 Dead 2, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles and the PlayStation One classic Resident Evil 2 (via digital download for the PlayStation 3) were all released. I haven’t checked out Darkside Chronicles yet, and I can’t tell you the last time I played RE2, but I think it’s safe to say that the vibe and play style of these three games are drastically different. But more specifically, they each contain very different kinds of zombies. The undead of L4D2 are agile and extremely quick. The living dead of the RE games are for the most part your traditional shambling brain-seekers that generate terror because you never sure if you have enough ammo to take all of them out before they gnaw off your face.
And that leads me to this question: Which type of zombie do you prefer to slay? Are you an action-zombie fan or a survival-horror zombie fan? Do you like them both equally, since they provide different gaming experiences? Where do you see the zombie genre headed in the future? There’s no doubt that L4D is a brilliant franchise that is capable of generating untold amounts of stress, enjoyment and terror, but how many more iterations can that formula sustain before it starts to lose its effectiveness?

I would like to do it like on Shaun Of The Dead. Best zombie ever made.

big fan of the slow-shuffeling kind, but that's because I read Zombie Survival Guide and that's what they put me too.

Slow necromancy zombies. When Hell is full the dead shall over run the Earth. The ideal Apocalypse.
Just fun for everyone ^_^

Does it really matter? a zombie can catch you no matter what. because its always that person that got infected and knew it and didn't tell anybody so when they die in the little safe room and turn into a zombie you and the the black guy (thats usually me) are screwed.

Which is scarier: faces hordes of the undead or having three untrained
d!ckholes behind you, running around with automatic weapons?
The real threat in the zombie apocolypse is going to be friendly fire.

If we are talking about surviving a zombie outbreak i would prefer slow zombies bc they are easy to handle but no matter what i would still use my trusty zombie survival guide

I like the traditional zombie or Romero style how ever you define slow, stupid and in large numbers zombies. I still like the fast moving zombie/infected that been put into movies and games because they are more scary but I just like traditional or new and improved. I do have to say that several of the "zombies" in Resident Evil and L4D are so far out there I wonder why they are even considered zombies or are part of the genre.

I love the fresh, fast and quick infected of the Left 4 Dead series, they have always appeared to me to be the most scary in the movies. When I have plenty of weapons and ammo to take care of thousands of zombies, it just makes everything quite better. There's really not a story to the Left 4 Dead series, but does it really need one? You've got a gun, then you've got a zombies coming after you, I really don't need a back story to explain what I need to do.
