Description
Setting out to do for co-op gaming what Counter-Strike did for team combat, Left 4 Dead is an ambitious survival horror game. Setting out to do for co-op gaming what Counter-Strike did for team combat, Left 4 Dead is an ambitious survival horror game. Running on the Source engine, Left 4 Dead leaves four armed survivors of a world overrun with zombies, and they must fight their way out to escape the outbreak. Designed for co-op play, the four players must work together to finish each stage of the game, lending each other artillery support, sharing ammo and rescuing each other when zombies are on top of them. In addition to the standard four players as humans, another four players can be amongst the masses of assaulting zombies, seeking to take down the other players. Zombie players might even find themselves become one of the four mutant "boss" zombies, who have unique powers that can be used to devastate, injure, tie up, mark and track, confuse, or even humiliate the gun-toting human survivors.

This is one of those rare games that you can actually waste hours on with a bunch of friends over the net. And I'm glad to see PC games using the achievements system. It makes it even more fun trying to unlock achievements during what is already a fun game just without much objective other than killing zombies and staying alive. Best multiplayer game of 2008 for sure!

Left 4 Dead is a very fun game, both online and single player. The campaign though, gets boring quite quickly if you play on your own. The VS Mode and Co-op online is still fun after you beat the game on your own. Over-all a great game.

Both modes in this game are fun, fun, fun! Shoot em up... beat em up... BOOM! HEAD SHOT!
This game is similar to Serious Sam in that it is just a kill or be killed shooter. Not a lot of story line, but it doesn't need it. The graphics are very good. The environments are realistic. There is one very important bonus. You have help! The other members, either AI or real, can heal you, give you health boosts, and defend you if neccessary. Unfortunately, the on-line gameplay depends on others knowledge of how the game should be played. You will survive if you work together. That is important when you have 75 to 100 zombies coming at you from all directions. It definitley puts you on the edge of your seat! This one is a "must have" for any lover of FPS games. Added bonus: No outrageous PC requirements. Runs smooth on a moderate system.
