F.E.A.R 3

Once again, the F.E.A.R. series is coming to the Xbox 360 for plenty of zombie, ghost, and demon killing. Featuring intense first person shooter action and a taut supernatural horror storyline, F.E.A.R. 3 is just the horror game FPS addicts have been waiting for.

Like the previous installments, the graphics in F.E.A.R. 3 are top-notch. Players can expect wild firefights and the haunting stillness of possessed building to be given equal attention by the artists in charge. If you're looking for a new zombie game for the Xbox 360, F.E.A.R.3 is a safe bet.

Resident Evil 5

It wouldn't be a list of the best zombie video games without a Resident Evil game! RE5 takes the revolutionary gameplay advancements made by its predecessor, Resident Evil 4, and ups the action. With a brand new co-op system and the classic zombie shooting action RE fans have come to expect, Resident Evil 5 was one of 2009s best games and one of the top zombie titles available on the 360.

Left 4 Dead 2

When it comes to zombie gaming, Valve seems like they can do no wrong.  Already home to some high quality undead from their alien-infested civilians in the Half Life series, Valve finally made an entire game devoted to the undead.  In Left 4 Dead 2, up to four players join together on a frantic rush to safety from a massive horde of zombies.

Unlike the slower, scarier Resident Evil  series, Left 4 Dead 2 is non-stop action as players run and gun down the streets of New Orleans.  The perfect game for any zombie fan, L4D2 makes zombie killing on the Xbox 360 a group sport, just like it should be.

Deadly Premonition

A bizarre but engrossing budget game from Japan, Deadly Premonition features deadly ghosts and zombies and an off-kilter sense of humor. A mix between classic survival horror gameplay and the open world, do-anything sandbox gaming of the Grand Theft Auto series, Deadly Premonition is one of the most unique zombie games for the Xbox 360.

With a storyline that is equal parts Twin Peaks and Night of the Living Dead, Deadly Premonition features a quirky FBI agent tracking down a killer in a small forest town. In between visiting locals and collecting clues, you'll be forced to deal with the supernatural element that has taken root in the small village. Anyone looking for a zombie game that takes its players off the beaten path should try Deadly Premonition right away.

Alone In The Dark

A revamp of the classic survival horror series, Alone in the Dark is an original Xbox 360 horror game.

Dead Space 2

Yeah, yeah, they're "necromorphs", not zombies. But they are. They die. They come back to life as terrible monsters. They eat you. Make believe sci-fi names aside, Dead Space 2 is sure to be another hit Xbox 360 zombie game.  The first was an utterly terrifying survival horror/action thriller that took a surprisingly badass engineer through the abandoned halls of a space station overtaken by terrible creatures.

Look for more of the same for the forthcoming sequel.

Mostly good list, but I disagree about Alone in the Dark. I'd put the original Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil 4, or Dead Rising ahead of it.
