Anybody else find this a little weird? Violence at its finest I guess

Game developers like the Dead.

How about Left 4 Dead? I know it's not on PS3, but it's still a "Dead" game.

The real question is why are most "dead" games mediocre to downright shitty. Really thought this was going to be a thread on the crazy number of zombie games.

It indirectly is since many of the titles deal with zombies or some form of human mutation.

Because zombies are apparently the new game themes that everyone likes.(not me, dead space is only exception)

Fix'd.

I noticed this in games alot too. I have no problem with this trend in zombies, in fact alot of these games are fairly enjoyable, and hell if a game is fun and sells well, why not make more. The real problem is just as many of these games are infact absolutely horrible. It just feels like developers are cashing in on the zombie fad. But don't worry, as time goes on the fad will pass, and we will be laughing about all the zombie games we were playing while playing our Dinosaur Survival. Then laugh about that when we're shooting Nyan Cats in Meme Survival. One thing thats for certain, if its not Zombies, its survival mode. Or more commonly, Zombie Survival. At least 50% of games if not more that come out have some sort of survival, wither its undead, or what have you. If anything we should support most of these zombie dedicated games, at least they give you a motive to survive other then "ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE!!!"
