Zombie Video Games

Left for Dead 2 (buy it!)

Awesome Zombie survival horror game. Really spooky gameplay and soundtrack. Brilliant fun in multiplayer co-op, especially when you see a special zombie. “BOOMER!!!”

Zombie Board Games

Zombies!!!! (buy it!)

Zombies!!!! is a fun board-game where you and your friends try and escape from a horde of zombies to a waiting chopper (or kill 25 zombies). The trick is that only one person can win, and on your turn you place some zombies. So there’s a real “will this guy fuck me over on his turn?” element to it, with lots of fragile alliances and back-stabbing. It really highlights (as reflected more seriously in the graphic novel below) how post-Z, it’s not just the undead you have to watch out for. The rules for Zombies!!! and some fun variants are available online if you want to check it out. It’s a fun game!

Zombie Graphic Novels

The Walking Dead (buy it!)

The Walking Dead is a series that chronicles a group of survivors on the run in a post zombie-holocaust world. It is seriously dark, and is more about the relationships and dangers that develop between people than about busting zombie heads. If you enjoyed The Road, this is perfect for you. If you have kids, it will scare the shit out of them. It’s being made into a six-part mini-series directed by Frank Darabont, in case you are a comic-book snob.

Zombie Meat Ups

There are regular charity zombie walks all over Ireland, here’s a link to the Dublin Zombie Walk. They look like awesome fun.

Zombie Lego

People make their own post-apocolyptic zombie scenarios in Lego. Awesome fun – have a search on Flickr or on The Brothers Brick for more.

Green Nineteen,

Camden St Lower,

Dublin,

Ireland

We decided to pop into Green Nineteen today while we were out and about in Camden street shopping for wedding invites from Daintree. I hadn’t noticed it before (it’s fairly new) but it looks fantastic from the outside, and really cool inside – pale wood, white walls, pop art and posters on the walls, real sweet.

I had the club sandwich, and Sarah had the Serrano ham sandwich. Both came with delicious homemade chips and were excellent. They cost €8.50 each but were well worth it seeing how tasty they were – my club sambo was perfect in every way – from the fundamentals like the chicken and bacon to the mayo and bread.

Sarah’s Serrano ham was just like what you’d get in a little cafe in Italy – packed full of flavour. Plus the coffee is excellent and the staff are friendly and polite too!

Rated 5/5 on Feb 7 2009
