What can be more fun than playing a zombie game? Zombies provide entertainment for a variety of things such as video games, movies and books. One of my personal favorite movies is 28 Weeks Later and Shaun of the Dead.

Zombie games such as Dead Rising and the Left 4 Dead series continue to provide a lot of entertainment to Zombie game fans.

Let’s now take the time to go over the top 10 zombie favorites between movies, books and games.

1. Night of the Living Dead Trilogy (film)

Night of the Living Dead trilogy is a series based on a total of six zombie horror films. George A. Romero directed the films. In 2010 Survival of the Dead was released. The film that has the highest ratings in the series according to Rotten Tomatoes is the first film Night of the Living Dead.

2. Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn (film)

Evil Dead 2 is a American Comedy Horror that was released back in 1987 and was directed by Sam Raimi. Evil Dead was released back in 1981. It was a success in the U.S. Box office and up to around 2006 the films gross was around $10.9 million.

3. Dead Rising (2005 Game)

If you get scared easily then this 2005 zombie game might not be for you. Here’s your chance to wonder freely in the mall and kill all of the zombies in the mall. You will also encounter a lot of psychopaths in the game which makes it even more fun.

4. Left 4 Dead (2008 Game)

This zombie game in 2008 is a first person shooter and it is gearing towards being a multiplayer plus co-op game playing. There are many zombies featured in this movie and have 50 foot long tongues. You can also control the other zombies once you put yourself in multiplayer mode.

5. Resident Evil 2 (1997 Game)

Resident Evil 2 is a slow walk thru game and you go around the backdrops which are pre-rendered and then you try to conserve as much ammo that you can so that way you can defend yourself when the zombies come after to kill you.

6. Shaun of the Dead (2004 British Zombie Comedy Film)

In the UK and in the US Shaun Of The Dead was both a commercial and critical success. Rotten tomatoes gave it a high approval rating of 91% percent. In the movie Shaun (Simon Pegg) is trying to attempt and deal with things going on with his mother, stepfather and girlfriend. He has all of this happening and then suddenly he has to deal with an apocalyptic uprising with zombies.

7. Stubbs the Zombie Rebel Without a Pulse (2005 Game)

Stubbs the Zombie is actually now a light hearted game on zombie armageddon. You walk around playing Stubbs and can convert humans near you to join the cause.

8. 28 Days Later & 28 Weeks Later (2002 & 2007 British zombie horror film)

I think you can see why this was listed as number 8 on the list. This series was directed by Danny Boyle. This is one zombie movie that actually had a fantastic sequel with it. A lot of sequels in movies just don’t make it and more so with zombies but if you haven’t watched the sequel yet then you should.

9. Warm Bodies (2013 American Romantic Zombie Comedy)
Warm Bodies is one of the newer zombie comedies. It’s got a mix of everything in it from action, suspense to romance. This is one zombie movie that all ages will enjoy. It’s based on the Isaac Marion novel Of The Same Name.

Despite being one of the oldest tricks human race has ever witnessed, mind-reading games still confuse people. What makes them interesting is the mystery around them. A question that fails to leave mind-reading games is 'could they be real?'


A succinct narration on mind-reading games

In 1781, mind-reading games got their existence. The man who made the attempt was Philip Breslaw from London. Several lined up soon after and claimed to have similar powers.

The 20th century saw these games becoming popular by the day. We are unable to understand the human mind completely. What makes mind-reading games popular is that game design is like applied psychology. Game designers across the world are hacking human psychology.

These mechanisms lead us to enjoy more. This is derived when we solve problems, spot particular patterns or when we deal with a challenge. Some information on this is available at ps3 helpline UK.

More on mind-reading games

A combination of illusions is put together for most mind-reading games that bring in extra sensory perception. There are many mind-reading games involving simple to more complex aspects like bio-signal technology starting from simple card games.

With most tricks of the mind, the brain's habit of generalization and not detail is what makes them successful.
One can enjoy mind-reading games using non-verbal communication with someone. Body language and some body-oriented involuntary movements are aspects that interest many. These are involved in mind-reading games that ultimately lead to enjoyment.

Because tools related to mind-reading games are related to the human body, one can easily convince someone to read mind only if they are aware of the signs needed to be determined.

More and more companies are stepping into the games arena and making use of technology needed to read bio signals produced by brainwaves. What makes mind-reading games more enjoyable now is that manufacturers making games and entertainment options did not consider this technology earlier.

Enjoyment comes naturally to human beings. The reason for this is that the human brain is wired in a way that the process of learning is accepted, with this comes the ability to push the limits and being able to do things that otherwise are not possible, this aspect brings in enjoyment and mind-reading games are based on this.

Game design leads to human beings expanding their brain to do more and enjoy more. With technology there are several other options that can bring in enjoyment and exhilaration but mind reading games still enjoy the top slots when it comes to choosing a way to entertainment.

If the game is enjoyable, people will play it. A game is on, if it provides value to a player, and the mind-reading games do this. Players are given their value with a strange sense of mystery, which leads to mind-reading games still being popular.

It is difficult to conclude that how long will mind-reading games be a popular choice with technology booming and people accessing an array of games but a simple fact puts off the worry that the human mind is the most multifarious and faultless console ever made, which ensures that mind-reading games will never be out of the gaming league.
