    Left 4 Dead has got to be one of the best games for the Xbox360 that I’ve gotten, it’s tons of fun and provides a healthy dose of zombie slaying gore. Read more

    • Awesome game overall, Lots of replayability, Excellent multi-player fun, Tons of fun for one or more players

    The zombie apocalypse has never been this fun. The idea of making a first-person shooter that involves zombies is not a new concept. Read more

    • + Co-op perfection, + Highly replayable, + Extremely satisfying, + Controls are fantastic, + AI is excellent
    • Campaign is only four episodes, Needs more content

    Valve's highly anticipated sequel to Left 4 Dead exceeds expectations. New weapons, campaigns, game modes and special infected will qualm any complaints that the content is insufficient for a sequel. Read more

    Any zombie movie fan will surely know Romero’s films and the 28 Days Later series. Having these scenarios as a playable game hasn’t been done very often successfully recently other than Dead Rising. Read more

    If the price doesn’t bother you, the game is definitely worth picking up if not for the simple enjoyment of blowing the heads off hundreds of zombies. Read more

    • Co-op!
    • Very short game.

Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead is a game published by Electronic Arts and Valve and developed by Valve that was released on November 17 2008. It falls under the genre of First-person Shooter game.

Features

Left 4 Dead sets out to do the same thing that Counter-Strike did for co-op gaming in the form of team combat. It is an ambitious survival horror game. Left 4 Dead story runs on the Source engine and leaves four armed survivors in a world overrun with zombies. Their mission is to fight their way out to escape the outbreak. The game is designed for co-op play, requiring four players to work together to finish each stage of the game, through means of lending each other artillery support, sharing ammo and rescuing each other when zombies are on top of them. On top of the standard four players who get to play as human characters, another four players also get to play as four main zombie characters amongst the masses of assaulting zombies, all of whom are seeking to take down the other players. Players who get to play zombie find themselves becoming one of the four mutant “boss” zombies, each of which have different unique powers that can be used to devastate, injure, tie up, mark and track, confuse or even humiliate the only four gun-toting human survivors in the game. The Left 4 Dead is an online multiplayer game with two play options, including 4-players online co-op multiplayer and 8-player online versus multiplayer.
