Video game characters zombified

What better way to celebrate Halloweek than with a Photoshop frenzy of brains and bile as we zombify some of gaming's best loved characters. Be warned, however, some of these images are a tad graphic, full of weeping sores, rotting flesh and exposed rib cages, so don't go getting disturbed for life over these. Promise? Good.

Note: This article originally posted in 2009, but we've rejigged the slides to fit our shiny new site and added some new ones. Enjoy it with your lovely, juicy brain...

Ah, Zombie Tim Henman, how you terrified us between every point in Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast. Where are you now, Zombie Tim Henman? Have all your polygons rotted away? Is your rain of tears stopping play? We miss you, Zombie Tim Henman. Please come back and play again soon. Lawn tennis, of course. And no, we won't leave out the lawnmower.
