asked on 

I'm looking for a pc game.

I've played the Doom series, watched numerous zombie movies...now I am looking for a zombie game where the game is centered around one person who must survive the zombie onslaught.  I'm looking for more of a modern day type scenerio game, but I'm open to other ideas.  Anyone gamers got some games I should check out?

PC games I'm not entirely sure of...

I could recommend a few for XBOX 360 or PS2, but if you're looking for PC games only I would only be able to recommend games based on other people's reviews, not my own.

I've seen Resident Evil 4 coming out in June...I'll be waiting with anticipation!

And someone showed me Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

Looking for some more :)

Ah, perhaps I misunderstood your statement about a modern day scenario - are you looking for a relatively recent game, or does that matter?

i guess i meant by modern to be "an average guy finds a shotgun and defends himself from onslaught of zombies"

recent enough that I can still buy it in stores and has damn good AI and graphics

make sure to get the patches when you get the game.  every game has glitches, but if you're new to it, its best you don't even experience the first ones I went through haha.

Have you beaten F.E.A.R.?  I'm in the middle of it right now.

I'm not sure what they're gonna call it, but supposedly it's being turned into a series of games. No information that I could find on how many they're planning on making. *Shakes in excitement*

If you're going down the Xbox 360 route then the one that instantly comes to mind is Dead Rising. It fits your requirement perfectly.

"I am looking for a zombie game where the game is centered around one person who must survive the zombie onslaught.  I'm looking for more of a modern day type scenerio game"

A journalist, in a mall, zombies everywhere. Pick up anything and use it as a weapon.

Only problem is it's an Xbox 360 exclusive at the moment.

Dark Messiah Might & Magic is a good one, On slaught of Zombies when you're in the Crypt, even a tad scary. You literally wield a sword or bow and cut them down to size 1 by 1.

Fear - hl like FPS game.

Doom 3 does a good job too

Resident Evil series are good too

I tried Resident Evil 4.  Decent, but the controls are extremely diffrenent from other first/third person games I've played.  I kind of got bored with the story so I stopped playing.  

Doom 3, HL 2 still have been exceeded yet.  I will try some other games mentioned. :)

Yup it's very cool. There's alot of videos floating around about their gameplay, even the templar's short movie i think. About their templar leader.. something like that

Try out youtube and such for their movies.

Already been mentioned, but DEFINATLEY Dead Rising for Xbox 360.  It's a modern day Zombie onslaught that never ends!!!

I played on my house mates Xbox and it's jaw droppingly awesome.  Rediculous zombie deaths, awesome missions and millions of zombies!  No matter how many you kill, theres always more!

If you want a crazy PC for a rediculous onslaught of baddies then get Serious Sam.  That game is not zombie based,  but total carnage.  

Imagine 200+ baddies charging at you in one go!

Awesome.

Theres a single player map you can download for Half Life 2 called "The Night of a Million Zombies".

Does exactly what it says on the tin! lol.  Medium sized map with weapons and ammo dotted around that re-spawns after time.  That is one hilarious map, specially with the grav gun and saw blades

I'm hoping that my suggestions have been the most relevant and would really appreciate if one of them could be the Accepted Solution...

Many thanks and good luck with the Undead!

From the FAQ section of the www.nomoreroominhell.com website...

When do you guys expect a release?
When it's done. To throw a date on the table, Spring 2006, but it's highly subject to change.

I think it might include other things than zombies but Hellgate:London looks very promising - out later this year i think?

The no more room in hell mod, does that install right onto HL2?
Avatar of andy195

Flag of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland image

It sure does :-D

I believe so. Obviously you'll need HL2 already installed. When/If they release the MOD download, the setup.exe should properly handle the install for you. Either that or they will supply an install readme file with instructions.

If you haven't already, have a read in the NRiH forum - http://www.nomoreroominhell.com/forums/ for more recent information.

If you want a single man game then i would recomend "Grand Theft Auto- Liberty city stories".
I have played this in PS2, but PC version is also available i guess..
In this u have a number of missions to finish.... u are the only one to face the whole challenge...
think its a good game..

Hey there I thought I might add a suggestion.  I stumbled across this one game that my friend recommended by saying it scared the pants off him.  It's called "Nosferatu: the Wrath of Malachi".  It's an older game, not very demanding I don't think.  Technically it's a vampire game but there are plenty of zombies to blast too.  Your family has been abducted by a cult trying to revive an ancient vampire.  It's up to you to use what crude weapons you can find to explore the mansion, unlocking doors and killing undead.  All the while, trying to beat the clock before your siblings become blood sacrifices to Malachi.

Your weapons consist of wooden stakes, holy water, a flintlock pistol and rifle, and a few others you find later in the game.  There is the occasional cinematic scene to bring you into the story.

This game isn't as well put together as some more modern splatterfests, but was a good enough to distract me for a few days, and did manage to scare the pants off of me on more than one occasion.

Happy Hunting!
