Advantages: Good graphics, very difficult, endless multiplayer possibilities

Disadvantages: Very short campaign mode, expensive for that amount of content

This is a great little thriller that really gets your heart pumping.

In short: You are 1 of 4 survivers that play through 4 chapters to escape unscathed from a sudden zombie invasion on your city.

This game uses the half-life 2 engine which always completely amazes with its graphics and physics. The monsters are really innovative, some will grab you from miles away, others will expode poisoned gases in your face. There's a lot of co-operation required to complete the game with real people. If something grabs you then someone will need to save you before you're bludgened to death.

The online community spend most of their time on the multiplayer which is also good fun. One team plays the scenario as normal whilst another repeatedly spawns as the different types of monsters and attacks the players. It becomes a very difficult but engaging game that never fails to get the adrenaline pumping.

There's definitely a lack of content in this game. You can complete it in an afternoon and the achievements (designed to engage you for longer) just get ridiculous like kill 100 of these with a steak knife. They pulled the free trial but if you like resident evil, counter-strike or any games with those themes then I think you will love this.

Summary: Worth a bash but possibly only if you will milk the multiplayer achievements
