Best Zombie Video Games
With the success of zombie movies this decade it makes sense that developers would turn to video games as well to bank on the resurgence of zombie love. There have been a lot of great zombie games for various gaming systems throughout the years, so here is a list of the top ones that you should play first.
Zombies At My Neighbors
Released for the SNES in 1993, this run and gun video game made by the always great LucasArts developers was a fun and hilarious oddity of a game. The premise is pretty simple, you play as Zeke or Julie, teenage kids who wake up to find the zombies have taken over their neighborhood. You run around different levels finding keys and warp points all while water gunning, weed wacking, throwing exploding soda cans and bazooking zombies in your path. The game was such a cult hit that it was re-released for the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console so younger fans could play the classic game.
Resident Evil
The original resident evil game used zombies as a springboard to tell a winding, sometimes convoluted story about an evil genetics corporation and the SWAT team trying to stop them. The game has of course been made into several movies staring Milla Jovovich and the franchise has continued to this day with the most recent being Resident Evil 5 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. It was one of the highest selling games of 2009 which just goes to show, people still love their zombies.
House of the Dead (series)
The House of the Dead arcade game series is one of the most popular light gun arcade games. The story isn’t really the high point of the House of the Dead series. Basically you walk around houses and different settings killing zombies and other weird creatures. The graphics were great and the light gun action was pretty fun, but it was pretty difficult and was a total money drain if you actually wanted to play through the game to the end. The series has been ported to the Xbox, PC and the Wii with separately sold light guns that resemble smaller spyder paint ball guns.

is there a mental condition that has a name for someone who is always blocking things out of thier minds
things that they dont want to think about. so they just sit there like a zombie and not allow hurtfull things to penetrate thier thoughts. is that sort of like a defence mechinism?
things like past regrets & current things like someone screaming in your ear telling you how usless you are.
sitting like a stone wall. unpeneraturable.
it could be related to a CULT upbringing of doctrin constantly being crammed in thier heads…always filling thier minds with GARBAGE.
The closest thing to what you’re describing is a dissociative amnesia or depersonalization disorder. However, those mental conditions are NOT voluntary. People who have them are unknowingly using them as a defence mechanism, but they don’t choose to block out a whole span of time. If you do it voluntarily, it probably isn’t an actual mental condition/disorder, but rather just a psychological necessity.
