Zombies are everywhere. They have invaded our pop culture like the viruses that spawn them. Much like vampires in the last couple of years, zombies are popular in nearly every conceivable medium. From books (Max Brooks World War Z and Zombie Survival Guide, Kirkman’s The Walking Dead, and 28 Days Later), to film (Diary of The Dead, Carrier, 28 Days Later), to television (The Walking Dead), and finally to video games (Left 4 Dead, Dead Nation, and Resident Evil).
Enter Dead Nation, the latest in the seemingly endless trend of zombies, zombies, and more zombies currently available on the PSN. While I may have expressed my disdain for the obligatory zombie DLC in most games on the podcast, I really enjoy Housemarque’s effort to be as unique as possible within the cluttered zombie sub-genre. If Diablo, Baldur’s Gate, and Night of The Living Dead made a baby, it would be called Dead Nation. Yes, it really is that awesome.
