Speaking of Zombies

[Hoofhurr]

There are lots of cool zombie games and movies out although very few have put you in the role of a zombie trying to infect the general populace. What if zombies had varying degrees of intelligence? What if your goal was to create new types of zombie infections and unleash them on people? What if the military and special forces teams tried to stop you? What if scientists and presidents and dictators tried to stop you? You might have more success unleashing your virus on 3rd world populations because of immuno-susceptibility but unleashing it on a 1st world population might disperse the virus globally more quickly.

I don't remember playing or hearing of any games angled from this perspective but it could be really fun. From designing new infections of varying virulence and contagion to unleashing your zombie hordes with strategies from massive waves in highly populated areas to a slow trickle in rural areas. Releasing the virus or zombies in rural areas might give the virus enough time to develop some nasty mutations before it hitches a ride to the slaughterhouse in town on farmer Bill's truck full of chickens before it explodes on the population.

It could be a strategy game or open ended sandbox style game or some combination of a Bioshock/Civilization/DungeonKeeper type of game.

This is a blockbuster in the making!
