8 Video Game Enemies Who Won't Stay Dead!

6. Zombies - Timesplitters Franchise

Now I know there are thousands of other video games that feature tough to kill zombies as their main fodder, but come on, when am I going to pass up a chance to talk about Timesplitters, especially seeing as the "Undead" portion of their roster is actually enough to make you consider that the entire franchise is succumbing to the Living Dead.

From zombified soldiers, through to horrifying shambling corpses, even down to a sorry-looking manky monkey or two who's swapping bananas for brains, Timesplitters absolutely loves itself a good reanimated rotter. However before you think that these shufflers are going to be a pushover, you might be surprised to see that they shrug off bullets like you were firing peas at them, often slumping over only to rise to their feet again and again.

This can turn situations like the Notre Dame level in Timesplitters 2 into a supremely tense and claustrophobic affair, as your shots only seem to slow the inevitable rather than stop it outright. However, it's here that we should all take a moment to start using our heads and start aiming at theirs!

With a well-placed shot between the eyes you can down these abominations for good, even removing their head entirely if you hit with enough force, yet for those firing with panic rather than precision, they'll soon be joining the ranks of the living dead.
