We all know the game industry works in cycles, well not exactly cycles but genres have their ups and downs. Some years FPS take the lead in popularity other years its RTS and then its RPGs etc. I'm certain all gamers see this cycles in games. I have a feeling this cycle happens in the gamers as well. I know it does in me. For the last few years I'm been playing a lot of FPSes and lately I just can't get into them that much. I can play for maybe an hour then I get bored.

So I'm looking for the next genre that will keep my attention for a while. Maybe it will be RTS and StarCraft II will help bring that in. Maybe it will be action RPGs, I loved Torchlight and would play it for hours at a time and I know I can't wait for Diablo III, but that will still be at least a year away. Granted BioShock 2 comes out early next year that could bring me back into the FPS fold for a little bit but ultimately I don't think it will last much after beating it, we will have to see with its multiplayer options. Wonder if its actions games I loved Batman Arkham Asylum maybe I should check other games in that genre out more.

I know I can't be the only one who goes in cycles with games. Do you see these cycles in your own gaming habits? What games are you all looking forward to that is outside your normals genres?

A Zombie killing game that is a MMO... Oh Wait there is one coming out that will do that. Undead Labs is making such a game. Very little is known about the game as the press release was more about the company forming and their first project, which would be a zombie MMO for the consoles. From the bits and pieces released it sounds like it can be a very cool idea. They talk about weapons and if you would hold up in a police station or supermarket. 

Personally the idea is sound and its about time someone made a zombie killing MMO. I don't even care that it will be only consoles it just sounds fun. Also I don't think is will be a crappy game. The development Studio Undead Labs was founded by Jeff Strain. He has worked at many different well known places. Such at NCSoft, Blizzard, where he worked on StarCraft, Diablo and the beginings parts of World of Warcraft. He then went to start up ArenaNet and Guild Wars. Clearly Jeff Strain has the talent and the ability to give me a kick ass zombie MMO.

Again its too early to know much about the game but I know I will be watching for more news regarding this game.
