I own the Zombie survival guide too and this article doesn't rip it off, but I do remember reading practically this EXACT same article in an issue of X-box magazine. Hell, maybe he wrote it too. I'll have to check.

Makes sense since some GR staff work in gaming magazines.

I was humored by this article but it contains a few errors, like for example, dont use a car, if you need to travel a long distance a motorcycle at best, otherwise, use a bicycle, they have no noise from a motor. And shotguns have good stopping power, but are actually bad for killing zombies. Although things like chainsaws being deathtraps and that grenades are useless are helpful facts.

Well we could always get Alex Mercer, he has experience in this stuff - OR we could all infect ourselves with the same blacklight virus as him and then we'll be nigh indestructable killing machines :D

If anyone thought this was funny, you should read Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide, which I'm sure was the direct inspiration of this article.

@Jackfitz11 Im glad you brought up how shotguns arnt really that good of a weapon for zombies. Most people dont realize because of the way movies and video games portray them. Like how on average the most shells your going to be able to hold is 8+1(not good for a horde of undead)and you have to reload one shell at a time. Also you need to go with a bigger shot or you wont kill anything, and bigger shot meens more kick and sore shoulders. Birdshots just going to piss them off, just ask Dick Cheney. Although if your in a group a shotgun could be worth while for your less accurate members. Just tell them to stand off to the side and shoot when stuff gets close. In my Non-profesional oppinion id say stick to assualt rifles. AK-47 Vector Arms) preferably, its very durable. Not as accurate as an AR-15 or M4 but wont get jamed every 200 rounds without cleaning eihter. Glock 21 for sidearm 13+1 and it can still shoot with any kind of crap (water, dirt ,mud, ect) in it after a little shake. Be warned people the zombies are coming. Save your pennies and buy guns and ammo. Bullets will be worth more then dollars in the last days.

funny but not really that practical...
there's a store in the mall where i live with all sorts of medieval weapons and stuff, I'd go there and get a katana (a real one), then I'd hack my way to dick's sporting goods and get a gun or two.
oh and barrage7667 raises an interesting point...
WHAT IF ZOMBIES LEARNED TO USE GUNS?!?!
Though on second thought they probably wouldn't because they just want to EAT.

This is so lame. A word-for-word copy of a special zombie-edition magazine I bought...how long ago? At least 6 months. I hope that the publishers know you guys are doing this.

I've been playing Dead Rising, so I'd like to add a few tips:
-Kill the annoying photographer you meet in the coffee shop ASAP.
-Books are handy-when combined with the chainsaw, you can eliminate 2,700+ zombies with ease.
-Don't vandalize the grocery store. EVER.
-Make sure the janitor only calls when you're not trying to fight off a couple dozen zombies.
-Learn to defend yourself when speaking on the transmitter.
-Most of the survivors you find have the collective IQ of a rock.
-Look for various Resident Evil and Mega Man references around the mall. It won't defeat the zombies, but it will relieve some of the stress.
-Kill the dog-obsessed old lady.
