You know which classic game deserves a modern sequel? Zombies Ate My Neighbors, a beloved horror-themed top-down shooter that is currently owned by Disney. A new sequel is super unlikely, but a spiritual successor is on the horizon. indie developer Curse Free Studios announced Demons Ate My Neighbors! years ago, and now it seems like they're making some progress. A mobile game will come out early next year, and the main game is still in development.

Just a few days ago, Activision released the first trailer for the Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. That thing was scary! I'm still scared. But I need to get over it, because even more Zombies details have arrived. This year's Zombies mode will feature a Guided mode to help ease players into the always-too-hard co-op mode, an optional third-person camera, and more. We're talking about spooky stuff, but it's cool nonetheless.

One of the most exciting aspects of the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has to be its Zombies mode. The 4-player online co-op mode will feature a return to round-based gameplay, two new maps, and a suspenseful story. Thanks to today's trailer and official blog post, we now know the Zombies scenario and characters as well.

Long ago, a tower defense game called Plants vs. Zombies took the world by storm. It was super good, we miss it, and shame on Popcap and EA for not making more mainline PvZ games. Luckily, Prikol Team and ESDigital Games are ready to fill that need with their new Steam release of Cats on Duty. This game has a serious PvZ vibe plus plenty of fresh ideas of its own. It's out now on Steam, and console versions are coming later this year.

Back in the early days of VR (2016), Arizona Sunshine made a name for itself as an exciting zombie shooter. This month, Vertigo Games finally released Arizona Sunshine 2 on Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and Steam VR. The sequel promises lots of zombie shooting with a helpful dog companion, a wicked sense of humor, and campaign and horde mode co-op.

The road to Dead Island 2 was longer than most. In 2011, Techland and Deep Silver released the first Dead Island, a sort of zombie-themed take on Borderlands. Following a couple of expansions and spinoffs, Dead Island 2 was announced way back in 2014. We’ve been covering it since then! The undead sequel changed development hands a few times o...

Digital games are more convenient than physical games, and usually cheaper too. Still, there's something about collecting physical games that appeals to many gamers. Preordering limited physical editions directly from boutique labels is always an option, but sometimes retailers offer the same editions for a better price. That's certainly the case with Best Buy, which currently has 14 Nintendo Switch titles from Limited Run up for preorder, including TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Double Dragon Neon, and several more co-op hits.

Call of Duty: Vanguard 's campaign mode might not have set the world on fire, but the multiplayer modes are still going strong. Players who haven't jumped in yet now have a great chance to do so, as both the cooperative Zombies and competitive Multiplayer modes are free to download and play from July 20-26. What's more, July 26 will see the "Mercenaries of Fortune" update arrive (though without a new Zombies map).

For cooperatively-minded folks like us, Zombies mode is usually the highlight of any Call of Duty game. That certainly holds true for Call of Duty: Vanguard, which has the series' best Zombies mode in recent memory. Things got even better this week thanks to the deployment of "Shi No Numa," Vanguard's third Zombies map (and a returning favorite from past games). We spent a couple of hours in the deadly swamp-based map and had a bloody good time.

The latest Zombies map to be added to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is called 'Mauer der Toten,' meaning "Wall of the Dead." The Black Ops Cold War Zombies maps are surprisingly story-heavy, and this one sees the members of peacekeeping force Requiem forced to build a warhead to close the Dark Aether portal that was opened in Berlin by traitorous scientist Aleksandra Valentina. We played several co-op games on 'Mauer der Toten,' and we even found out how to unlock the robot, Klaus.
