Zombies are kind of the safe standard for victims of violence in games. Hell, people complain when a game has you killing terrorists.

Not so safe standard actually. Germany outright banned (well indexed) the international version of Left 4 Dead 2 and even went as far as to confiscate the EU Versions of it. I don't know, I'm liking the Survival and Downfall of Society Aspect of Zombie Games but that's rarely even a topic.
Most of the time it can be described as "LOOOOL CHAINSAW LOLOLOLOL".

Time to choose the next easy and thoughtless video game targets. I think we've already done robots and zombies, so...
I posit dinosaurs. They're heartless things that are extinct anyway, and they're varied enough. I mean, Turok was fun, right guys?

Germany also banned (as in actually banned, not just indexed) Dead Rising. |

Most Zombie games could be made with an entirely different foe and would work almost exactly the same way. Plants vs. Zombies could have been Plants vs. Aliens or Plants vs. Pigs and would have been functionally identical. I heard they went with Zombies for PvZ because they wanted an enemy that moves very slowly, to give the player more time to prepare themselves. It wouldn't make much sense for pigs to move as slowly as the zombies do in PvZ (unless they were zombie pigs). |

They could use snails (they move very slowly and also eat plants) but they wanted more cash and more contrast.

Dino D-Day came out on steam last week. Dinosaurs are trying, they just aren't quite there yet. |

I think hobos have a lot more potential.
Think about it, hobos would make ANY game better.

Kingdom of Loathing has the market on hobo-based content totally sewn up.
It has an entire hobo-themed multi-stage dungeon in it.

the advantage with hobos is that they come in all shapes, form and sizes. You can have just one hobo that is a charming gentlemen greeting rich guys at the door of the club (and occasional gentleman pickpocket), you can have the horde of zombie like tunnel dwellers, you can have the organized hobo fight club behind the warehouse, you can have the hobo conspiracy, you can have the hobo-love session on the side of the highway,etc,etc... THERE'S NO LIMIT! 1930s hobos strategy game with wagon tramps and deadly feuds (recomended viewing: emperor of the north) |
