Let me start by saying “epic game”. The Demo was fun, but the full version is even better.

The differing types of zombies, create a fun and, if someone doens’t have their wits about them, intense and fast paced gaming experience. When you first experience someone next to you getting jumped by a Hunter and tagged by a Smoker, the adrenaline kicks in as you desperately try to save them, knowing that you are shortly going to be confronted by an insane number of zombies round the next corner. When you’re first thrown up on by a Boomer, and the rush of zombies ignoring the other players and race straight for you find it funny, as your screen blurs and you can’t actually see how many there are. The first experience of a Tank – where you think you can run, and hide from it – but it follows you everywhere, and begins picking pieces of the world up and throwing them at you.

CoD4 provided an excellent game for both fun and competitive team-based gameplay, and so does L4D…. but it’s so much more exciting. The audio complements what is happening in the game, and adds to the experience. It’s intense, but sometimes hilarious as each person is simply swamped by zombies and you all know that you are shortly going to be starting the level again.

I am going to be losing many hours of my life to this game – and it’s going to be worth every minute.
