    Ok, I will admit L4D2 is NOT in my Steam game giveaway.

    But since it's only $5 at the moment, I thought I'd have a mini-contest.

    First four people to guess my favorite zombie movie wins the prize. Just post your response here, one guess per person. And once the first four people guess it, or at midnight tonight, the contest is over. I will announce the winners as soon as the contest is over. You need to supply me with your PM before the Steam promotion is over or you don't get it!

    You must be specific as to the movie title.

    Anyone can enter, no restrictions, just will have to provide me with your steam email address through PM or in this thread if you don't have enough posts to PM yet (you can edit and delete it as soon as I send it to you).

    A couple hints, it was in theaters, and in the last 10 years.


    CONGRATS!
    Winners are:

    dhoang417 - claimed
    classic77
    razorjack - claimed
    SleepeReaper - claimed
    svl7 - claimed
    masterchef341 - claimed

    Read here to see why.

    let me at least say it has already been guessed so three copies left. Of course I think those are about the only major zombie movies made in the last 10 years. :p

    So I guess pick between:

    Resident Evil
    Shaun of the Dead
    28 Weeks Later
    I Am Legend
    28 Days Later
    Zombieland
    Dawn of the Dead

    I luvs my zombie films and games (RE4, Dead Rising and L4D/2 got me addicted)...you just don't have to feel guilty about taking pleasure in killing zombies or seeing them killed...

    These films aren't on the list (so you won't win one of the three remaining copies by guessing one of them), but if you like zombie films/games, they're worth a $1 Redbox rental or a Starz DVR...

    Quarantine: The Blair Witch handycam vibe can be annoying, but the end is an eye-covering 'Oh no it didn't...' (I'm one of those people who always rooted for Wil E. Coyote to catch the Roadrunner)...decently creepy and scary at the end...

    The Crazies: Maybe my all-time favorite zombie (?) movie...the 'zombie' dragging the pitchfork in the quarantine tent gets a prize for all time freakiest sound ever...I still can't get that sound out of my head...

    Resident Evil: Degeneration: The CGI animated chapter may be the best of all the Resident Evil films (I haven't seen Afterlife yet)...the voice acting isn't consistent, and the animation isn't as clean as Final Fantasy: Spirits Within, but it's action packed and Mr. Kennedy is tougher in the film than he was in RE4...not to mention a jetliner crashing into a terminal in the first few minutes of the film...

    Ok guys. I'll end the contest here.

    To be honest, I ***LOVE*** the Resident Evil movies. I own them on Blu-Ray. I never cared much about zombie movies until I watched that. Not to mention that I would love to marry Milla Jovovich. Gawd she's hot.

    Zombieland is awesome. An excellent flick. I was pleasantly suprised by watching that movie. Made me appreciate twinkies.

    I am Legend was good too, but just to "meh" for me. It was interesting, but after seeing 28 days later that is a hard one to beat!

    But the one zombie movie that really caught my attention that I really loved was 28 DAYS Later. I even greatly enjoyed the sequel despite other people not liking it.

    To be honest, I flipped a coin between Resient Evil and 28 Days Later and 28 Days Later won.

    But since I'm such a super duper guy, I'll give the R.E. guessers the game as well.

    So winners please PM me your steam email address before their $4.99 promotion expires (I dunno, maybe by 12noon EST tomorrow):
