Zombie MMO
You wouldn’t think that finding a decent zombie MMO game was hard, but it is! And that’s why I’m writing this and you’re reading it.
I remember when I had my 56k modem and would randomly go surfing on the web, today I don’t do that anymore. I (like everyone else) use search engines to find exactly what I want. Well I want to cry now, ’cause I can’t find what I am looking for.
After spending hours (today) and, overall, days during the last 2 years or so finding zombie games, I decided to list what I found and to write something about my experiences.
First off, there’s like a ton of zombie games being made, I mean, all over the place. You would imagine someone was subsidizing them; but they don’t, so most of them fail miserably after being pompously announced. The one’s that succeed are quite simple most of the time, but do give some pleasure.
Die2Nite (http://www.die2nite.com) is a free zombie survival game set in a hostile world inhabited by zombies.
The players (or citizens) are divided into groups and are allocated a small town where they must organise themselves each day in such a way as to survive as long as possible against the
zombies.
The last remaining survivor will become the Hero of the town.
Urban Dead (http://www.urbandead.com/) is a browser text MMO game, and you’ll either like it or you won’t.
You can play it alone but I recommend using some teamplay – it will enhance the experience, which sadly rests on your shoulders’ imagination.
Outbreak Game, Shartak are Urban Dead spin-offs so I won’t even give you a link! Google it if you want to play them 
Zombie Pandemic (http://www.zombiepandemic.com) is a relatively new browser MMORPG that’s inspired by Urban Dead and old GURPS games.
It’s text based, but also gives a lot of pictures to jump start your imagination.
It’s still being tested but I encourage you to go play it and help the guys out with your suggestions. BTW, if you ever see Ixian in need of rescue, please help me!
The Dead Awaken (http://www.deadawaken.com/) is a game I just can’t play. Every time I start playing it, I wanna install System Shock 2.
It’s a simple browser based game and it looks like one of the games that you can play in System Shock 2 on your PDA.
Hell’s revenge (http://www.hells-revenge.com/) is a text based MMORPG that I didn’t like. Ok? Ok! You go play it if you want to.
Brain Chef (http://brainchef.com/) is a simple browser game that is guaranteed to put at least one smile on your face, so go smile:-)
Bio Nightmare (www.bionightmare.com) – I don’t get it, people are talking about this game, but I can’t even open the web page, for a long time now, too.
Dead Frontier (www.deadfrontier.com) – it’s the best out there! It’s a zombie hack and slash, with rpg elements…you know, like Diablo .
It’s got an awesome feel to it, with great visual artwork and a beautiful selection in weapons and items (I have a katana 
).
Oh and btw, they’ve just announced that they’re going 3D in the summer of 2010!
Zombie Survival Club (www.zombiesurvivalclub.com) is a game about surviving the apocalypse using stuff you can raid from houses, shops and warehouses.
Kill zombies with improvised weapons, build yourself a base and defend yourself against other survivors.
Think you’d survive the zombie apocalypse? Realistic zombie AI and a sandbox world mean that you will be able to put your ideas to the test.
ZSC is currently in development, with a tech demonow downloadable! A sandbox MMO server is coming soon for multiplayer zombie fun.
Humans and zombies fight for survival in the ruined, post-apocalyptic cityscape of Quarantine 2019. Will you join the endangered population of humans or the ranks of the undead?
Undead Life is a Zombie MMO under development, where players will have to learn how to survive in a post-apolcalyptic world full of zombies!
Learn new skills, find better guns, learn how to live a life in an undead world! The people behind the game have made a deal with a developing company and the game should be out 2012.

Z Day – http://www.zdaygame.com
ZDay is a Multiplayer Online 3D FPS Zombie Survival game currently under development by Arrowhead Games and it looks pretty cool, so take a peek at their youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/zdaygame#p/u/1/_BwmufYNW3I UPDATE: Apparently the site has been inactive for over a year.
People, I hope this helps a bit. Sorry if I left anything out, the inter webs can be a really big place sometimes.
Remember, kids: When in doubt, decapitate!
