Valve’s announcement that they’re working on zombie game Left 4 Dead might have grabbed the headlines, but it’s the industrious Half-Life 2 and Soꦍurce engine modding community who are getting the most mileage out of remixing-the-zombie concept.

Perhaps a dozen zombie-based mods are currently in progress, with a handful having already been released. Some classics, such as Zombie Panic, have already seen incarnation in the original Half-Life, and the living dead are only♋ getting mor🌊e popular.

So what we have here are three different angles on the same theme, each one built by fans and delivered with a view to entertaining us with the shambling undead. Projects like this are the lifeblood of PC gaming - people p🐻icking up the tools left behind by commercial devs and figuring out ways to make intense and hilarious messes out of human corpses.
