I prefer to view LNOE and AToE rather than a case of LNOE vs AToE.

I have all there is on offer for both games. Whilst made by the same company/group/people they are very different mechanically, playability, objectively, interactively and ultimately provide different end games.

Maybe I'm the wrong person to offer words on this, but I think it comes down the subjective individual's taste in gaming.

I personally love both games. I find LNOE gets more table time purely on the basis of what my gaming group likes. Popularity if you like? Also bearing in mind Zombies are the "in thing" at the moment be at the movies, TV/DVD, boardgames and video/PC gaming.

All of them! That is seriously my answer, and no doubt am the wrong person to provide input here. Lol.

If on a budget however, I'd recommend the Base Game + Growing Hunger for starters, then see what evolves from that dependent on taste and what you want out of it.
