Zombie killing games for the XBox 360
I want to buy 1 for my fiance since I had a lot of fun playing "Left for Dead" with him. He has both games in the series.

Are there any other zombie games I might get for him that he/we would enjoy?

1. Dead Rising.
It's basically a video game version of George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead". You're trapped in a mall with a crazy amount of zombies surrounding you and just about everything you see can be used as a weapon. It's an incredibly fun game.

2. son said left for dead did well coop. he says another good coop (not zombie) is
gears of war.

boderland is another coop

these are games hubby plays and enjoys.

he is into red dead redemption now and looks like an excellent game, though not coop, he has internet xbox play with others. ????

i dont know any of this stuff.

hubby and i play games more like mist together, but they have had none of those recently.

decades ago, we played doomed together. before the kids when we could play all nighters and he would put me on god mode, lol

3. You make a comment.
You talk about God mode in games.

Many people think life is a game, and they even think they have some power or are in God mode. The reason they have those delusions is so that they will claim to be God.

The reason is not to give someone some power, but to get them to claim something they are not.

The longer you don't make that claim, it seems the delusions of having power increase.


I don't think people have God powers, or are Gods. Although I do think there are things that can work through people, both good and bad.

5. I just thought of another game that might apply. Call of Duty 5: World at War.
The game itself involves no zombies, but if you beat it, you get access to the game "Nacht der Untoten" (night of the undead). You're locked in a war torn building and have to fight off hordes of the undead as they come in increasingly powerful waves. The graphics aren't that great, but it's one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played.

6. I should probably clarify:
I would like to shy away from war type games for personal reasons. He's a big boy and I'm not his mother and this has nothing to do with my being anti-war but I would like to avoid those topics/imagery. Certainly he could buy them if he wanted to and he owns a couple but he hasn't played them in a quite a while. I think zombies are far enough removed from reality to qualify even though they do involve lots of gruesomeness.
