Left 4 Dead (PC)

For those of us ardent zombie-hunter enthusiasts, who's first thought upon entering a room is "how many blunt heavy objects are there in here that I could utilise, if worst came to worst?", who devour zombie survival horror films with alarming ferocity, and who sat rapt in front of Channel 4's Dead Set recently... Left 4 Dead is your fantasy game. I know, because I'm one of you. I have a zombie-apocalypse plan, for goodness sake. With maps. Anyway. Left 4 Dead is a first person shooter set in one such apocalyptic scenario, where like all good survival tales, the emphasis is on teamwork, and co-operation. You play one of 4 (clever title, eh? Eh!?) ...  Read the complete review

Left 4 Dead is an innovative co-operative first-person shooter with zombies from Valve. Valve have brought us the legendary Half-life series and are also well known for purchasing and developing successful mods, these are Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat and Team Fortress 2. Clearly Valve has produced or been involved in the development of, great first-person shooters and enjoyable multiplayer shooters. As for zombie games, I love the Resident Evil series and other nice horror titles, zombies can provide great entertainment when included properly in films and games. I only heard about this title from a friend a day or two before it was released. As a new ...  Read the complete review

Left 4 Dead is one of the most original first person zombie games for a long time. The premise of each of the levels is simple, get to the end, without being killed by zombies. This game is made for multiplayer action which can be done over the internet, LAN or even splitscreen (which is very rare with PC games) with the new patches. You can play with the keyboard and mouse, the 360 pad and there are even videos of people playing with wii controllers. There are many types of zombies in this game which are discussed below. The generic/main type of zombies in this game are not like the ones from resident evil, but have more of a like to the type of zombies off ...  Read the complete review

We all love zombie films, and Left 4 Dead, the latest offering from gaming maestros Valve, who turn to gold virtually anything they touch, is about as close as you're going to get to participating in a full-blown zombie invasion. It fuses Valve's FPS experience from the Half Life series with the sheer, unadulterated chaos of multiplayer fare to create a game that is a uniquely frenetic, highly entertaining gaming experience. The premise is incredibly thin, but like many of the best zombie films, less is more as far as exposition goes - the burned out cars and abandoned streets say as much as you need to know, and to be honest, the ambiguity and not-knowing is ...  Read the complete review

Well I really like this game! I am left pretty speechless in fact. Here goes... I watched the film I am Legend before playing the game and I can't help but notice some similarities in story line albeit drastic changes in behaviour etc... So with my word been eaten by an immense game lets talk about graphics. The graphics in this game are second-to-none and are on par with Call of Duty 4 and Test Drive Unlimited. The physics engine is also another marvel and is the best I've ever seen (possibly stolen from COD4). The storylines are quite short and you never really know from the beginning what is going on and what has happened previously. The game ...  Read the complete review
