I like playing Left 4 Dead (1 and 2), and I had quite a bit of fun playing Dead Island.
Dead rising has a good amount of keeping you on your toes, with each play through being a different experience, it rather satisfying to see all of the Zombies getting mowed down, and adjusting your strategy to when special zombies come into play, having tanks come in has both been some of the most terrifying parts of the game, and most fun.
Dead Island I think does a good job of giving both slow zombies you can take your time, and some faster ones to keep it interesting, well actually some of those fast ones freak me out. I was happy that I was able to feel most of the fun in the scares, I think atmosphere was done well. I played the sword specialist.
And as for the Dead Rising games, I have played them, but I lose interest on them because I generally can't accept failure that I have from events in my first playthrough, and the bosses are just too hard for the gameplay to beat that it gets frustrating. It also gets really frustrating having to worry about weapon uses, healing items, stringing your plans in missions together, and time restraints. I like to dress smartly in it.
It's (Dead Rising) really hard, but you can beat it if you just learn the patterns. I remember beating the original Dead Rising at a low level, having saved very few survivors. I just kept at it and picked different items, and exploited the AI as well as the patterns. I didn't even know I was generally expected to lose and start over, until I read it on the FAQ.
