A little mod for ArmA 2 known as DayZ caught the attention of the gaming community and industry media as a unique Survival-Horror not found in many Zombie games.  Rather than fighting swarms of zombies around every corner being able to patch up any wound and going from point-A to point-B, DayZ work around the idea of a more realistic environment where resources are scarce, other players are potential threats, and Zombies are very dangerous.  As this mod started picking up more interest to the masses, the mod team decided to work on a stand alone game that takes off the limitations of the ArmA 2 Engine.  However, around the same time, another team of developers had announced a game called The War Z.  With great haste, they have launched the game and have made it available on steam right now.

The War Z is a Zombie Survival-horror MMO where players can play together or on an open-world map where all players can be allies or enemies.  The realism comes into play with hunger/thirst trackers, scarce resources, and losing everything upon death.  For Hardcore mode, you lose everything like in the DayZ mod including your characters.  The game is currently -10% off for $13.49 on Steam with other options to get in-game currency to buy better items.  But beware, even in-game bought items can be lost upon death and taken by other players.  Also, it seems you have to wait an hour before you can respawn with your character after death.  Good luck to those planning to play the game!
