'Dying Light', launch trailerEveryone has the same options with today's zombie games as I did with the Demolisher. You can either pick up your plank of wood with a nail in it and dive into the action, or you can keep your distance and not engage. If you're in the latter group, that's fine, I don't blame you. Just don't ruin the blood-splattering fun for the rest of us, yeah?Barring the obvious similarities of the main enemies, zombie video games aren't as samey as they first appear. In the mid-2000s, critics said that the shooter genre had become stale. Then in 2007, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came out and revolutionised multiplayer action, paving the way for years to come. The high lasted for about five years or so before the same questions were being raised again. "Okay, we get it. What's next?"High mobility was next, taking a step back towards the fast-paced arena shooters of the 1990s. Games such as Quake and Unreal Tournament worked great with a mouse and keyboard, but the console market needed to slow things down a bit for the controllers. However, as technology and control systems have progressed, Titanfall and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare have added boost jets and free running to their repertoires. There are still loads of shooters, but there is quite a lot of diversity to be found.
