So you like killing zombies eh? Well don't we all? And what a great time to be a zombie hunter! With a flurry of games featuring zombies being released and covering all genres like horror, action/adventure and survival, it gets a little overwhelming choosing which game is right for you. Well, that's why I am writing this article. I will be going over a few of the zombie games that have already been released or will be in the near future.

We are hitting the 9 month mark since the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic.  With subscriptions falling and paying a $15 monthly fee no longer appealing to gamers, Bioware is looking into open the game into the FTP(Free To Play) market soon.  However, The Old Republic will not give full access to the games content, players that do not pay monthly have restrictions with end game content and PvP.  With current subscriptions peaking at just under 1 million, will this be the boost Bioware needs to gain a bigger audience?

There is no doubt that The Old Republic was one of the most anticipated MMOs since World of Warcraft.  Following an identical leveling system and with the Star Wars universe at Biowares disposal, it was hard to imagine that The Old Republic would be in the position it is now.  After I leveled a bounty hunter to max level and got into the end game content, I found an unfinished game.  With only a couple of Operations available and a constant rotation of Huttball in PvP, it was the lack of content that made players lose interest.  Giving Bioware credit, they did resolve many of the issues they had at launch, but the waiting for updates and small patches wasn't worth the monthly fee in the long run.

As I mentioned before, The Old Republic isn't going fully FTP.  There will be restrictions to players as they level up characters and get into the end game content.  While the exact details have not been released, we can get a general idea of what kind of restrictions players will face with the quazi-FTP features.   Large raids or Operations will  not be available for players, nor will players have full access to the auction house (Galactic Trade Network).  See the chart below to compare the two.

Subscription Vs Free To Play

During our time at E3 we got our hands on a demo of Far Cry 3. It was more showing off the gameplay and graphics than its open world setting.  At PAX they are showing off just a small part of the huge sandbox world where you can interact with the environment and explore different points of interests.  Though Far Cry 2 was set in an open world, it felt very linear at times and the side quests were very forgettable.  Far Cry 3 looks to improve upon the shortcomings of its predecessor.
