Ooops. Half Life consumed too much of my attention... almost forgot this blog1

Why is it that all science fiction first-person shooters MUST have zombies? Half Life has the headcrab zombies (which get even worse in Half Life 2). Halo has the Flood (so, zombies). Far Cry I had high hopes for. No hint of zombification about it, but it seemed mildly scifi-ish. But no. The mad scientist was making gorilla zombies.

Sometimes, I'd just like to shoot a HUMAN with a laser. Is that so hard to comprehend? I'd even take a modern (not futuristic) FPS.... tired of choosing between zombies and Nazis. But all the take-place-in-this-decade games shooters I can find are squad-based. I just want to be a soldier, not necessarily a commander. :-/ Any suggestions?

So much wrong with this sentence, and you only point out the zombies. le sigh.
