I'm not a big fan of the zombie genre. Nonetheless, in the past decade, zombies have just exploded (both metaphorically and otherwise) all over the various forms of entertainment. I'm not sure exactly what made them so popular so suddenly, but I never really got swept up in the movement. I enjoy the classic Romero films and the occasional zombie movie for either the quality horror experience or the entertainment of ironic
MST3K deconstruction.
My indifference towards zombie entertainment translates to the video game medium as well. I will partake in something fun and stupid like
Dead Rising from time to time and one of my favorite games on the original Playstation was
Resident Evil 2, but most of the time, I steer clear. Nonetheless, I still have games on my steam list like
Left 4 Dead,
Dead Island, and the one I mentioned in the title:
State of Decay.
