Video games and media in general rely on quite a few well-worn tropes. One of the most well-worn of them all is zombies. Sometimes they are the product of a plague, other times they are the personal army of a necromancer.

But while the video game industry is overflowing with zombie titles, many still carry a spark of quality and are worth playing.
