Dead State Revealed (ZRPG)

This looks very promising indeed. There haven't been too many good zombie games(or movies) around, it would be nice to liven up the genre
 
Hm. I don't like zombies. They are, in games, as overused as nazis and screenshots are looking too clean indeed.

But, on a bright side, post-apoc theme is intriguing.

That's what I mean by there not being any good games like that around. Anyone could slap a horde of brain-craving zombies into a game as the main antagonist, but it's difficult to do it tastefully.
If the zombies were just the annoying background noise in this game and the main thing would be dealing with the other survivors then I believe this could be a neat-o game
 
Watching zombie films and their useless protagonists fills me with that feeling of frustration: "If I was there, I'd do it so much better than these survivor douchebags!" Zombie games are there to let you vent those frustrations and see if you could actually do it any better :)

Also, I think zombies and Nazis are so prominent in gaming, because of the timeless censorship issues. You might not get away with killing good old American soldiers, but you can dismember a Nazi any time. You might not be allowed to kill pedestrians with your car, but turn them into zombies and all is fine ;)
 
You guys should all check out Fort Zombie from Kerberos (made as a side project by the people responsible for Sword of the Stars).

It isn't as serious or realistic as Dead State is trying to be, but its the same kind of fun. Skills, guns, melee, fort building, food/medicine/supplies gathering, making traps, rescuing survivors, etc.

It got bad reviews when it came out because it was buggy, but its much better now, and I really enjoy it.
