I'm very happy with that list.

I would have put the top 3 in that same order.

I'm starting to get fed up with all these 'top *insert number*' lists. They're really not that interesting, nor do they fulfill any kind of purpose, except maybe to help fuel fights over what game is best etc. Sadly, this trend probably won't die down anytime soon either...

The whole gaming WORLD needs more zombie games. Resident Evil 5's on it's way anyways, because Alone In The Dark certainly won't fill it's spot.

  Well RE5 isn't a zombie game. Just because it's a human swarm snarling at you doesn't automatically make them zombies.

    Very true. But for all intents and purposes, they may as well be. It's like saying that 28 Days/Weeks Later are not zombie movies...technically you can argue that, but we all know it belongs in the genre

      Well...it doesn't belong in the Zombie subgenre...it belongs in the Horror genre. It's only considered a zombie movie because people can't tell the difference, apparently. It's like everytime there's a movie/game that involves human monsters...they're automatically zombies. So it went from "reanimated corpses" to "highly contageous humanoids w/ no intelligence".

      Vir lucis, you get major thumbs up from me for mentioning 28 Weeks Later.
      
      That's my favorite zombie movie ever.

I'm not sure it's considered an "apocalypse" but I'd put a vote in for Zombies Ate My Neighbors for the Genesis and SNES.
