Old vs. new zombies

Interesting read on Kotaku: this article deals with the evolution from the old-school "slow" zombies (a la Night of the Living Dead) to the new "fast" zombies as seen in 28 Days Later and Left 4 Dead, for instance. In fact, the 1996 game Resident Evil deserves the credit for probably being the first to introduce these "fast" zombies that have become so prevalent in the new millennium.
