Zombie Apocalypse

It is out on the 360 arcade. I tried the demo and it looks exactly like crimsonland but with zombies instead of aliens/bugs. The controls seemed awkward as you shoot with the right stick. I'm sure you can get used to it but still that is strange. The game seemed like it will be quite fun co-op so if any of you have some interest go ahead and get it and I will too to play with you. I think crimsonland is better but it doesn't have co-op soooo we shall see :confused:

That is the one world ending scenario I feel I am prepared to survive.

After getting insanely high scores in CoD WaW's zombie mode I think I would be the most prepared :) Problem is I have no real life weapons :( that could make things tough.

Assuming your only enemy are the zombies would be your biggest downfall. 28 Days Later and The Walking Dead has shown us that the scariest part of a zombie apocalypse is other survivors.

Which is why my plan involves leaving civilization.

That doesn't guarantee civilization will leave you alone.

The world is currently in love with the undead.

Vampires, zombies, if it doesn't have a pulse we want more of it.

My plan is still better than taking my chances with a bunch of college students.

well the movies always make the survivors much dumber than what they'd be in reality
how else will slow moving brainless zombies have a chance?

in reality any average person would have decent survival instincts and would almost always be a better bet to team up with than trying to solo it out.

And even lower compared to a group that has a doctor, general handy man, military solider, woods tracker,and etc.

However, my point is that you can rationalize your choice all you want but at some point you'll more then likely run across civilization.

That could be in the form of some lost souvenirs stumbling through your area looking for help or a nomadic group of mercenaries looking to plunder.

I don't think anybody is going to argue that one person trying to improve their chances is going to have better chances than a group consisting of ideal professions covering any existing need. That doesn't mean the one should flock towards the local supermarket with the rest of the noobs. That also doesn't mean that trying to avoid civilization guarantees isolation, but again - why increase the risk?

There's no way to ensure you get exactly the right amount of sun, but there's something to be said for sun screen and avoiding excessive laying out on the beach.
