So I watched the Walking Dead marathon just last week, and I just finished watching the movie I Am Legend, and I LOVED them both, and it really got me into the mood for this type of stuff, so I'm just wondering what survival movies or games you could suggest besides the obvious classic zombie movies/games (unless they're REALLY good ones that not everybody has seen). And by survival I don't necessarily mean non stop running on your feet survival, but I'm looking forward to things like in I Am Legend where he could go scavenge for supplies and such during the day, but retreat to his fort / safe haven at night

EDIT: also if it is a game, could it please be real time, and not a little browser game like Last Stand and Last Stand 2 I know are popular, but I'm looking for something a little more in depth and suspensful

i watched the Walking Dead marathon too..... it was awesome.

i have also wanted a real, open worlds, zombie survival Rpg.

Ps. and dont link me to dead state, it looks cool, but its not what i mean.

Yea I know man, when I first heard about Left 4 Dead in some magazine a few years back it sounded so much like it was gonna be some big open world survival game, and then i played the demo....

Red Dawn

The Postman
Madmax series
A Cry in the Wild
Surviving the Game
Enemy Mine
Castaway

Viva Pinata :teehee:

Some good zombie survival movies are 28 days later, 28 weeks later, and the t.v show series The Walking Dead.

The first half of Book of Eli was entertaining, but then it completely falls apart. Still, if it's free on cable or something, worth watching that first half.... imo.
The series Jericho was pretty good for most of it's time but did start to run out of steam later.

But if you're looking for zombie type survival...can't help you there, don't watch many of those since most of them are of the "Dawn of the Dead" variety which I have no interest in. The already mentioned 28 Days Later was good tho (the sequel was not). Shaun of the Dead if you like humor.

Minecraft



I am not kidding. It's the I am Legend of gaming.

This



And This

The Road is a good survival movie, albeit the kid is pretty annoying.

The Road fits your description, and...wait for it...wait for it...Waterworld.

Uhhh.....

Castaway

That fits into a survival movie, right? :happy:

EDIT: But for a suggestion of a movie thats a little more in the spirit of what you are asking, you might try 30 Days of Night.

Would the LOST series apply? Although you've probably already seen that. Shame you don't want book recommendations, I've got a ton of those.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Fallout yet.

It's the I am Legend of gaming? Ok I'm not buying it now

Why? It's a book about a guy who has to have his shelter constructed because...

...oh, you mean that, don't you?

John Boormans "Deliverance" is one good "survival" sort of movie
