I hate zombies in videogames.

Can we give zombies a rest?  Ever since I saw MJ's Thriller video when I was a little kid, I've had an intense fear of zombies.  I love the song, but could hardly sit through the video.  Who knew that 30 years later, the world would still be infatuated with zombies.  That has been especially so in videogames.  Even videogames where zombies do not belong at all, the developers still decided to put them in.   Am I the only person who hates that they put zombies in all the Call of Duty and Modern Warfare games?  That's extra game that takes up space that I have no desire to play through.   I guess it's okay if they make it an add-on download to purchase on the PSN like they did with Red Dead Redemption, but I don't want to have anything to do with it. 

Oh Come on. Leave me alone.

I'm a big fan of light gun shooter games as you might have read in my last post, so there are good chances I'll buy any shooter game that comes out for the PS Move.  But the last 4 shooters games released have all been f'n zombie games!  House of the Dead 3 and 4 and 2 Resident Evil Chronicles games.   Finally, I broke down and bought Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.  The thing about the Resident Evil movies and games that I've noticed is after the first couple games, it seems like the zombies are always just a nuisance and not the main problem because there are much bigger monsters to fry.  That makes me feel a little better knowing that the zombies are no big deal and anyone living through the apocalypse can easily take on a horde of zombies with their bare hands.   That has allowed me to get through my nightmares a little easier.  Did I mention that I have zombie nightmares every single time I see a zombie?  I've learned to deal with the zombies in my dreams and it hasn't been as traumatic as it used to be, but I still don't appreciate it.

Fine, I'll play, but I'm not gonna like it.

To some of my friends' amazement, one of my favorite TV shows right now it The Walking Dead.  I guess the show has in some way been an attempt for me to try to face my fears by surrounding myself with it, just like Batman did with bats.  But zombies are a lot scarier than bats.
