Dead Nation

DEAD NATION (2010) is a top down, zombie horror game with strong elements of both the survival and strategy game genres. The game gets gradually more and more challenging as you progress. You have to try to survive and manage your limited resources in the dismal post-apocalyptic world.

It takes a significant ammount of strategy to play this as well, since it is a survival game. Along with zombies, and vastly dangerous environment, scarcity is a big threat. Finding resources within the burning cites is key. Different enemies and environments call for different weapons and tools. Different difficulty levels as well as theco-op mode made this game pretty lovable, altogether.

"Sometime in the not-too-distant future, a deadly virus is once again sweeping the globe, infecting everyone in its path and killing off almost all the human race. To the horror of the survivors, the dead have begun rising from the grave, hell-bent on feeding on the living and wiping out mankind for good. But, just as it seems all is lost, a small pocket of survivors emerges, determined to take back the world from the undead. You are one of these survivors. Armed to the teeth and totally outnumbered, you're the last hope of discovering a cure for the virus and saving humanity. Just remember to lock, load, and aim for the brain! It's time to start the fight back."

Overall, Dead Nation was a really fun play, an early ps3 game that stuck with me after all these years.
