Best Zombie Game

[MajinKirby]

Okay, there's a lot of hubbub going around about the "best" modern zombie game. What do YOU think?

I like Left 4 Dead. There's just something about its simple gameplay that charms me.

GO!

Dead Space is the epitome of everything I love in a game. A badarse looking protagonist, crazed, twisted aberrations, and a feeling of isolation, hopelessness, and fear.

And the dismemberment is quite entertaining.

Left 4 Dead is fun as Hel. Sadly, I haven't played enough others to feel justified voting, but I can vouch for its atmosphere and gameplay quality. I'm getting it officially around the holidays, but the demo alone was very satisfying, so much so that I must have played through it over and over again for a whole weekend. XD

Dead Space looks great too, as does RE5. Dead Space I'll get around the holidays, but obviously, RE5 isn't out yet.

I don't know much about Dead Space, but Left 4 Dead definitely looks like fun.

As for RE5, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I saw some previews of it, and it looks quite interesting.

My friend has RE4 on PS2, and we have had so many laughs over the course of the game. Those moments ranged from sniper groin shots to using Armored Ashley as a Mine Dart target.

Good times.

RE4 was a breath of fresh air, and a nice upgrade from the usual gameplay. I've yet to play Dead Space, but intend to sometime in the future. Unless Left 4 Dead gets ported, or I bump into an old friend who I think chose 360, I don't think I'll be able to play it. Voting for RE5 would be hubris, especially since it's still a ways away, no matter how good it looks.

Granted, I'm very curious about Left 4 Dead and it's cooperative play style. I think that alone would make it a great zombie game because that makes it much truer to the movies than other games. One guy solo with an assload of guns is fun, but it would never sell well as a movie (and its been tried). A handful of people banding together to survive an undead swarm is true to the source material in my opinion.

I thought Dead Space was an alien horror game, not a zombie game... oh well, I didn't play it so I'm just gonna say left 4 dead cause it's freaking awesome!
