 Palladium was founded April 1981 in Detroit, Michigan by current president and lead game designer Kevin Siembieda, and is now based in Westland, Michigan.

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a single-player post apocalyptic first-person shooter video game developed by Terminal Reality and published by Activision.
 It is based on and canon to "The Walking Dead" television series, in contrast to the video game by Telltale Games, which is based on and canon to the comics.
 "The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct" acts as a prequel to the TV series; it is set in the Georgia countryside and focuses on Daryl and Merle Dixon as they make their way to Atlanta during the early days of the zombie apocalypse.
 The critical reception for "The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct" was received poorly, with criticisms mainly directed to the game's graphics, control, and plot.

 "Dead Nation" takes place in a world afflicted by a zombie apocalypse.
 The player can play as a male or female character and fight different types of zombies.
 "Dead Nation" was one of the games given by Sony as part of their 'Welcome Back' package because of the PlayStation Network outage.
 In February 2014 a PlayStation 4 version of the game titled the "Apocalypse Edition" was announced.
 The original "Road of Devastation" downloadable content was included for the PS4 version, and the game was free for PlayStation Plus subscribers in March 2014.

"Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse" is a blog post by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that uses a zombie apocalypse metaphor to raise public awareness of emergency preparedness.
 In a blog post titled "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse", the director of the CDC's Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response, Rear Admiral Ali S. Khan writes: "Take a zombie apocalypse for example.
 That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e.
 You may laugh now, but when it happens you'll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."
 Comparing the upcoming hurricane season and possible pandemics to "flesh-eating zombies" from the horror film "Night of the Living Dead" and the video game series "Resident Evil", Khan recommends Americans prepare for natural disasters as they would have prepared for "ravenous monsters".
George Andrew Romero ( ; February 4, 1940 – July 16, 2017) was an American-Canadian filmmaker, writer and editor, best known for his series of gruesome and satirical horror films about an imagined zombie apocalypse, beginning with "Night of the Living Dead" (1968), which is often considered a progenitor of the fictional zombie of modern culture.
 Other films in the series include "Dawn of the Dead" (1978) and "Day of the Dead" (1985).
 Aside from the "Dead" series, his works include "The Crazies" (1973), "Martin" (1978), "Creepshow" (1982), "Monkey Shines" (1988), "The Dark Half" (1993) and "Bruiser" (2000).

Rifts: Promise of Power is a 2005 video game licensed for the "Rifts" role-playing game (RPG) from Palladium Books.
 It was available for pre-order since the spring when it was slated for an autumn release.
 It was later released in October for the Nokia N-Gage.

 Due to the failure of the N-Gage platform in the North American market, however, the game is very difficult to find.
