We love to shoot them, fry them, slice them, shock them, and squash them &#8211; all while generally making sure we do not get infected by them.<\/p>\n<p>Now, imagine\u00a0if we could take these lovable undead punching bags and add them into our favourite games! How epic would that be?<\/p>\n<p>Here are the games I would love to add a zombie injection to.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Grand Theft Auto V<\/h3>\n<p>Grand Theft Auto V is an open-world masterpiece, but\u00a0imagine the addition of zombies to Los Santos.<\/p>\n<p>Trevor and his 4&#215;4 riding around town, taking on the countless undead with his shotgun and road-rage abilities.<\/p>\n<p>I can picture it now, burning them with a flame thrower while dropping a few catchy lines &#8211; oh, what bliss.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y0gotQ06I8I?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">inFAMOUS: Second Son<\/h3>\n<p>inFAMOUS: Second Son already has us dispatching agents left, right, and centre, so progressing to zombie extermination should be a smooth transmission. Besides the normal cannon-fodder zombies, there could be conduit or super-power zombies, too.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a larger, more powerful version of Tank from Left 4 Dead. Second Son could also integrate zombie boss fights, all under the skies of the beautiful city of Seattle.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NFukFWFndEk?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Battlefield 4<\/h3>\n<p>Take Battlefield 4&#8217;s massive multiplayer component, add in some zombie hordes, a few mutated creatures, exploding minions, keep the flag capturing battle going &#8211; and we have one epic game.<\/p>\n<p>The zombies could be added to other match modes, too. This is a sure way to ensure players won&#8217;t camp.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hl-VV9loYLw?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/h3>\n<p>The open-world stealth game could be turned into an open-world zombie stealth game. Assassin&#8217;s Creed has a great exploration mode, stealth mechanics, and solid combat, all of which would would enhance the zombie-slaying experience.<\/p>\n<p>Picture it: running along rooftops in ancient times, the zombies down below, scratching at the walls as they climb after\u00a0you, baying for your blood. Brilliant.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xzCEdSKMkdU?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Watch_Dogs<\/h3>\n<p>The &#8220;hacking game of the year&#8221; (were there other hacking games?) could have made a lot more people happy if it included the ability to slaughter thousands of zombies.<\/p>\n<p>Hack a crane to drop a container onto a group of undead citizens, open a bridge as you are being chased by the hordes, and unlock security doors protecting innocent civilians. Sounds like a blast.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e_q-s3QdmU8?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Which games do you think could be improved with the addition of zombies?
