I am shocked to see that I have never made a main page posting about the main draw to the forums.

Urban Dead is a web-based zombie vs. survivor game. I didn’t think I would get hooked on a web-based game since the time I ran Black Nova here (only old school drzy fans will remember… all one of you). I have personally been playing this since last year.

The game has inventory, levels, ability to play as a zombie or survivor, and has pretty regular updates and additions. It creatively uses javascript and CSS to make an almost graphic looking naviagtion system, while still being entirely graphic-less. Although, there are many firefox extensions released that enhance the game.

We have a survivor and a zombie group here at drzy that grew from a CoFR and friends group. Check out the Urban Dead portion of the drzy forums if you are interested in joining our group and have some connection to me, CoFR, or one of the members of our group, MRH.

More info about the game itself is at the Urban Dead Wiki

Creepy but fascinating evolution of a parasite wasp that literally does brain surgery on roaches to turn them into zombies. It then rides the roach by controlling the roaches antennas, and turns it into a living host for its offspring.
