Abstract: The zombie apocalypse. Be honest: Youve thought about it. When most humans have been turned into shambling, flesh-hungry monsters, how will you fare? Whether you fancy yourself an intrepid survivor or an infected savage, Left 4 Dead is the game for yo...
Dynamic enemy placement make each playthrough different, Tight controls and welltuned guns, Stiff challenge makes survival difficult and thrilling, Versus mode expertly turns the tables, Killing survivors is as fun as killing zombies (if not more so).
Campaign is less fun when played alone, Only four campaign maps.
Left 4 Dead makes both sides of the zombie apocalypse a thrill to experience, as long as youre not alone. ...
Abstract: Zombie apocalypses seem to be pretty popular these days. Most of these movies involve a band of survivors working their way to a safer area while battling out with brain eating creatures. This sounds like it would make a great game doesn’t it? In come...
The Source engine still looks great, The sound design, from the zombies to the guns, serves the game beautifully, The game may seem short at first, but youll be sucked into the varied experiences you have every time you play, Co-op is an underrated wa...
20 levels? It could still use a few more, It would have been nice to have more variety in weapons. A rocket-launcher, maybe? Some melee weapons?, Servers can still be a bit glitchy, Environments could feel a little more alive, many areas in the game se...
Left 4 Dead was a game that was made with love; who in this day and age would take a risk with a game that essentially demands that four people play together? Whats amazing is how often the director throws something at you that feels and plays like so...
Abstract: If there is one thing that gamers know to be worth fighting for, it’s the eternal battle against zombies. It is hard to explain why something so wrong and so evil just feels so right. Looking at it like that, you could say that Left4Dead is a bit of a ...
Abstract: I Love a zombie film. I've been watching them for years and it is quite possible that I've seen every single one ever released, even Zombie Strippers (which, to be fair, is probably the finest example of the genre). I've always preferred the ones that ...
Abstract: The titles all wrong. Not just because some befuddled fool is bound to wonder how they missed Left 3 Dead - the film The Madness of King George III being retitled the Madness of King George for just that reason remains one of modern cinemas finest fa...
Unrelenting zombiekilling action; satisfying cooperative campaigns; addictive Versus mode.
Only two of the four campaigns are available in Versus mode at launch.

Intense, nerve-wracking experience; co-op gets even better as you add players; innovative, entertaining multiplayer mode.
No real narrative in place; single-player offerings pale in comparion to co-op play; no searching for dedicated servers.
Perhaps more than any year thats come before it, 2008 could be called The Year of Living Cooperatively. This holiday season has seen the release of many excellent co-op games on every gaming platform, from Gears of War 2 to Call of Duty: World at War ...
