Zombie Games (aka Survival Simulation) - Prepare for the Z invasion!
Zombie Survival Quiz
A nice, comprehensive quiz. I particularly enjoyed the formatting. The high score(I got it) is a Z+. http://games.direxstory.info/puzzle/pl-7-7031-Zombie_Survival_Quiz.php




Lots Of Tests:
This site has lots of test for you to test your zombie survival skills.



Max Brooks Survival Chance Indicator:
On the website for the book World War Z there is a survival chance calculator much more accurate than the non-lame zombie survival test.

www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/425802:
A great zombie survival test on Newgrounds. Lots of good questions, good scores, cool music. Warning: This test follows the max brooks "solanum" zombies, not the George Romero "classic zombies" or 28 days infected.

Urban Dead:
Urban Dead, developed by Kevan Davis, is a free low-tech, massively multi-player on-line role playing survival simulation game (MMORPG). It is set in a quarantined city called Malton, though believed to be an English city.

You sign up as one of four classes: civilian, scientist, military or, heaven forbid, zombie. Each of the three survivor classes is broken down further into subclasses. These subclasses dictate what skills you start out with. The game works on a system of Action Points (APs) and Experience Points (XPs).

1 AP is acquired every 30 minutes until you have a max/maximum of 50. In the game, all activities cost at least 1 AP, however some cost more. XPs are acquired by engaging in different activities eg, shooting zombies, healing wounded, reviving zombies or eating survivors. Again, different actions result in earning different amounts of XP. Once a certain number of XP has been accumulated, these can be exchanged for different skills. The cost of these skills varies depending on which class you chose to start your character.

Along with other players you try to survive. Barricade yourself in buildings and fight off the infection... or just join the ranks of the undead decimating all life in your path. This game takes about 2 weeks of solid play to get into but once you start playing it, you can become addicted.

Urban Dead also has an instance of MediaWiki and lots of forums catering to the different roles the players in the game which to assume.

ZDay:
Z day is an on line zombie survival FPS Game. (Also referred to as a "MMOFPS") You are placed into a city overrun by the infected aka zombies. The infected can run, faster than you can meaning you alone are no match for the strong fast infected! You can barricade doors, search for, collect and carry supplies, arm yourself and buddies up etc. On line play - only! Meet up, form search parties, use your survival instincts, teamwork is a must for survival, can you survive?
NOTE: This game is currently under development, but forums are still active. Release date is aimed for somewhere around 2010 next year.

Console Games:

Land of the dead: Road to fiddler's green:

A unbelievably good (FPS) zombie survival game for PC!
Its a must try, its not free but its good! It's based on the George A. Romero film Land of the Dead, but has a different story.
Left 4 Dead:

Left 4 Deadis a breakthrough game based on Valve's popular "Source" Engine (See CS and CS: Source). The game portrays four (4) survivors: A sh
aven middle aged biker (Francis), an IT specialist (Louis), A student and horror movie fan (Zoey) and a Vietnam War veteran(Bill). It was not explained why the survivors survived (Most assume they got away, rather than being immune) The game is a first person shooter, very familiar to its sister game Counter-Strike in play style.
Much like Resident Evil the Z's come in different variations, including: The tank (A large, muscular zombie that throws large slabs of concrete and can knock survivors away from each other), The Smoker (A zombie that ensnares Survivors in its long tongue and pulls them away from the group), The Hunter (A fast, vulnerable zombie denoted by its snarling that pounces at the survivors from a distance), The Boomer (A large bloated zombie that "Vomits" on Survivors, summoning a horde of normal zombies, also can explode and cover Survivors with bile), and The Witch (A female Z' who is noted by her crying, when approached or startled she will proceed to attack the Survivor who startled her. The Witch has an unusual amount of Health and is very strong.)
Left 4 Dead uses a AI, named "The Director" which instead of placing set spawn points for the Infected will spawn them across the map according to how the survivors are doing, the skill of the survivors, the position and the general atmosphere of the game. The AI also creates individual musical/sound effect cues for the survivorsdependenton the situation; thus creating a new Apocalyptic situation for the player every time they play the game. The game was greeted with high ratings (An average of 8.0 across review sites) and was met with unanimous praise by both audience and reviewers alike. Most definitely a game for the conventional to hardcore Zombie genre fans.


INFECTION!:
In this free, Down-loadable Zombie game, you play as the Zombie infecting hapless test subjects. Please rate the game once you've played it.




Resident Evil:
Am actually surprised this wasn't posted. The basic premise for those who do not know, is the release of a viral agent from a secret Umbrella testing facility. While the creatures are not all zombies, the actual undead are much more difficult to defeat. Team them up with cross-species zombies, such as dogs and crows, making a harrowing adventure.

Halo
In this game, you are a supersoldier working for the UN. You discover an alien planet then discover a zombie-like group of alien monsters.

Dead Rising:

Great zombie survival game for the Xbox 360 where you play as Frank West, an eager photojournalist ready to get any scoop he can. Players must survive for 3 days in the mall, while battling hordes of zombies and "psychopaths", completing the main storyline, and reaching the helipad in time. Weapons are everywhere; almost everything can be used as one, even a mere shower head. Modes include Overtime Mode, the optional side missions, and infinity mode. Only problem, the whole thing starts because of bees and undead cows...Great game, cheap, pick it up.

Survival Crisis Z

Survival Crisis ZA freeware "Sandboxy isometric survival horror" game. Download here.

This is an old-style arcade/RPG game where you have to survive in a city infested
with zombies. Loot for food and weapons, or join a faction and do missions.

Die Zombie! Die!
(made by user MichaelRiley)
Not much of a simulation, as the combat and zombie behavior in this text based choose your own adventure game is unrealistic and far fetched, although still considered by some to be a fun game.
The third game features variables such as health and stamina etc, while the first two are styled like a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

They Hunger: Lost Souls:
A zombie game with the graphics from Half-Life 2. Comes out in the near future.



Lone Survivor:
Also worthy of looking up, are two very nice Zombie Themed modifications for the popular Half Life 2 game:


Zombie
Master:
A Teamwork based game, where a group of up to 31 survivors have to face hordes of AI zombies that are controlled by "The Zombie Master" player in a classic RTS style fashion. It is a strictly Online only game, and there is a never ending supply of available maps that are hosted online, thanks to the many awesome mappers that support the mod.


Zombie Panic: Source:
A zombie game that pits a group of survivors in a small area against one or two zombies who are controlled by a player. If a survivor player is defeated (eaten) by a the zombie, he/she will turn into one too. This concept makes up the whole game, and the round ends when all remaining survivors have been eradicated, or when the set time expires. The upside of such a game mode, is that it eliminates the often apparent need in today's video games to wait for the turn to end, and play again. The player is always playing. The downside in particular is that the zombies are controlled by human players. Thus they have the extra advantage of thinking and acting in ways that may eliminate the zombie feeling of the game.

Infected Earth:
An under development survival horror web mmorpg with a story of world wide infection transforming people into infected, zombies and mutants. The few survivors are trying to stay alive in the new world life and clear areas for safe living. The game is releasing versions from time to time, allowing people to see its advancement and people helps development team to make a nice game. After the completion of its development player will can to create safe houses by clearing buildings, fight enemies with a lot of items, use skills, combine items to make better ones and much more features.
