Left 4 Dead and Dead Island are my four favorite survival horror games.

Yup, just looking for new material. Anything since that tickled anyone's fancy?

Really horrifying was one of my instructors at NBC School, a US Army LTC, who told us, "NBC training is not irrelevant, and nuclear warfare is not unthinkable, we could survive a nuclear exchange with no more than 15% civilian casualties."

In case you weren't aware, "Dr. Strangelove" was a documentary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove

My wife got me a zombie book for my birthday, "The Remaining" by D.J. Molles. First in the series of books and novellas. Bacterial zombie infection hits the US, and the protagonist is SF given the job by the government to restore order and civilization. Currently on the 2nd novel in the series.

State of Decay.

Threw me a curveball with the Juggernauts. Apparently they didn't get the memo that massive, obese zombies see supposed to Pyle on things and explode, not tear people in half.
