While the zombie trend seems to be dying out in most types of media, it's still going very strong in the world of video games. Zombies are in everything from simple strategy games to competitive shooters, so it shouldn't come as any surprise that there are plenty of zombie browser games out there. The zombie category on Silvergames.com is fairly robust, with a number of great (and not-so-great) games that give players access to unique ways of killing off the living dead. They're not always super-violent, though, and some of the zombie games might surprise you. 

Most of the zombie games in this category involve combat. Whether in first-person or third, players are faced with the task of surviving against waves of zombie opponents. Some of these games are pure survival, while a few actually have stories behind them. Graphical quality varies between near-console and indie-friendly, with a few games managing to make zombies more charming than they have any right to be. These combat games range from comical to gory, with a few elements of horror sprinkled liberally throughout. They're not always complex, but they do a good job of representing typical zombie media. 

Other zombie games in the category are puzzle games that just so happen to involve zombies. Zombies make for a nice visual, especially when killing them doesn't feel quite as gruesome as doing the same to a living being would. Most of these games involve finding clever ways to kill off zombies with a relatively small set of tools, though a few do involve moving the zombies around or otherwise letting them wander in peace instead of in pieces. These games are joined by some very clever strategy titles and a few humor titles to round out the category, some of which are incredibly fun to play. 

The zombie games category is huge. There's definitely something for any fan of the living dead, though finding the quality games in the group can be hard. If you're willing to do some digging, though, you'll find some real gems. The best games usually balance reflexes and planning, giving players a chance to figure out how well they'd do in a zombie apocalypse. Of course, sometimes it's even more fun to play the games that just let you take a bit of violence back to the horde and that will allow you to play around with all the fun toys available in the apocalypse.
