5 Incredible Reasons You Need To Play DayZ

There's no getting around the fact that society is obsessed with zombies. From George A. Romero to Robert Kirkman, Dead Rising to Daryl Dixon, we have become obsessed with the brainless flesh-chompers and the fictional worlds they have overrun. A conversation I and I assume many others have had with their friends is the 'What would you do in a zombie apocalypse?' topic. Where would you run to? Would you fortify a location or keep moving? Would you be part of a group or go it alone?
