The Call of Duty isn’t a zombie game but a DLC allows you to play against zombies. This feature was made available since Call of Duty: World at War where you were to play against dead or zombie-fied Nazis. The mode puts a task on you to defend a house from the upcoming zombie attacks.

During the course, you get to earn points with which you can barricade your house and also upgrade your guns and machinery. It’s tense, it can be nerve-wracking and it’s a great multiplayer mode. Plus, Black Ops allows you to fight zombies as John F. Kennedy, Robert McNamara, Richard Nixon and Fidel Castro.

Instead of releasing it as a DLC, the developers could have released the Undead Nightmare as another game. The story and the gameplay of the original game was only very good and the developers Rockstar didn’t give any reasons to hate the game.

This is probably the first horror game that I played on my computer. At that time, playing House of the Dead was like conquering your fear of ghosts and zombies. The game is a first person shooter game where you are tasked to find your friend who gets trapped inside the House of the Dead.

The surroundings of the game were really spooky which did chill my spine and there were a lot of moments where the zombies came in front of you out of nowhere and you would literally scream like a 2-year old child.

#7 Left 4 Dead

At the time of its release, Left 4 Dead was one of a kind game. The game had new variety of zombies and featured an open world gameplay. The game is experienced at its best when played in the multiplayer mode.

These new zombie types add even more tension to the game, with hoards getting so big at times that it often feels rather claustrophobic. The violence and gore of the game were at par compared to anything else. And so was the joy of killing the zombies.

#8 Resident Evil 4

Everything in the game was top notch. The gameplay, the story and the chilling sequences. There were some scenes where you jump on your feet and get so scared that you will have trouble sleeping.
