It's no secret that I'm a zombie enthusiast--it's right there at the top of my Twitter profile. So, I tend to see things a bit differently. When tossed the keys to a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4x4, I saw the ultimate vehicle for keeping myself un-undead when the zombies rise and society falls.

Think about it. The Wrangler is rugged. It can traverse almost any type of terrain, but it's still small enough to creep through some fairly tight spots. The simple chassis and power train are easy enough to modify and maintain. And while it'… Read more

The zombies are coming, and they're hungry. Very hungry. They'd love nothing more than to chow down on your gray matter before shuffling off to wreak more havoc on the living.

We popped over to Kidderminster, famed home of the zombie hunter, to get some training in how to defend an undead attack, courtesy of Wish.co.uk. Our expert preparation included weapon handling, room-clearing techniques, and the best way to stay upright in the back of a moving van.

Geek love can be a challenge on Valentine's Day. Roses are too old-fashioned, and chocolates are dull--unless they happen to be ThinkGeek's zombie head chocolates.

The $9.99 Chocolate Zombie Head Bon Bons show your special geek that you love him for his tasty brains, not his muscular World of Warcraft avatar.

Each box holds six grimacing, growling dark chocolates filled with cherry cordial brains in a particularly startling shade of red.

Give a box to a loved one and make a romantic pact that whoever turns zombie first will quickly be put down by the other.

Zombie Dash is a fun and surprisingly addictive game that adds hordes of undead enemies to the typical side-scrolling escape/survival genre.

The object of Zombie Dash is to run as far as you can without falling into a chasm or getting hit three times. Your character and the screen automatically do the running, while your job is to shoot your away through zombie attackers, jump over chasms, and avoid other dangerous obstacles in your path. With the jump button on the left of the screen, and the shoot button on the right, this game is about as simple as … Read more

Zombieville USA 2 is a side-scrolling arcade shooter that expands on the potential of the original Zombieville USA by adding tons of weapons, more unlockable content (including playable characters), and an upgradable skill system that makes for some fun RPG elements.

The gameplay has remained gratifyingly simple: you run from left to right, kill as many zombies as possible in 2.5 minutes (or longer, if you want to push your luck), and smash boxes and other objects for money and ammo. The RPG elements come in as you choose your buildout for each level, picking three weapons and three … Read more

If this year's Halloween festivities haven't sufficiently freaked you out yet, we'd like to direct your attention to Contract Killer: Zombies, a gory first-person shooter that puts you smack dab in the middle of an undead apocalypse.

Fans of the original, non-zombified hit, Contract Killer, should recognize both the format of the game and the swipe-to-aim interface.

In Contract Killer: Zombies, you and your partner Evelyn trek through zombie-ridden streets in search of both survivors and supplies. As you conquer missions, you gain experience points and earn money, both of which lead to the buying of bigger … Read more
