Why Do We Love Zombies?

Zombies are becoming the new cake.

You hate that you love it so much. Gone are the days when The Walking Dead pretty much sums up the mainstream zombie experience. Now, everywhere you look there will be zombies staring you in the face: a Walking Dead movie trilogy, zombie-slash-comedies in the form of Zombieland, and a sequel to the phenomenal Train to Busan is currently in the works. Even Netflix is overrun with zombie originals and Kingdom has already been booked for season 2.

In the gaming world, zombies continue to be a great horde genre, after our taste for it developed thanks to zombie classics Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil. But now more than ever, just like in the big and small screens, it seems like all publishers are crafting their own versions of the zombie apocalypse.
