If I wanted to run a The Walking Dead type of setting game using FG, what system does everyone say I should look at using?

Curious as my experience outside of C&C, RM, 3.5e, PF is limited.

Thanks.

All Flesh must be Eaten (Unisystem, Eden Studios) and the UniCore or my ConX ruleset.

I think Savage Worlds would work too. Take a look at Zombie Run.

There is actually a full scripted zombie campaign for savage worlds out there I think it is called war of the dead, apart from that tehre is the already mentioned zombie run. Savage Worlds works well but it doesn't feel very horror like and for me at least the zombie apocalypse theme got a bit boring after a campaign that lasted around a year with 1 weekly game (But I am not that much into zombies I was only running a zombie game because my palyers got hooked on the walking dead TV series and wanted to play something like it). So Savage Worlds id good if you don't mind a certain pulpy feel that is encouraged by the rules, and there is a nice ruleset for FG available for it.

I don't like Savage World myself, but if that's your cup of tea it could work.

Fate seems also appropriate, even for non narrativist uses.
