The evolution of videogame zombies

Disposition: Volatile

Even though the first-ever 3D zombie had made history the month before, the 2D zombies of the world weren’t about to let themselves be outdone by some ridiculous smoke-and-mirrors gimmick. Their first response was to up the ante in Doom by getting their hands on some rifles, which they’d occasionally fire – sometimes at each other – while pacing around aimlessly and trying to aim in the direction of the player. They were a little pathetic, but trying to aim a futuristic firearm while you’re dead and/or possibly possessed by ancient demons is no mean feat. Seriously, try it sometime. Let us know how that goes.
