Today I talk about what must be my favorite zombie game of all time right beside Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Left 4 Dead is the greatest zombie game to come out in years, there is no questioning that much if you have played it or the second game. It has everything from big guns to hoards of hungry zombies sprinting at you with every ounce of strength they have. It even has random easter eggs that reference the movies we all know and love. It's a game made by zombie lovers for true zombie lovers.
Right from the start of the game the world has pretty much ended. Everything is in a panic and you are just one of the few survivors that's trying to get out of the madness alive. No one knows where the infection came from and it has not been revealed through the game. You go from place to place running from the infected and the world as it pretty much all falls apart around you while you hope for finding somewhere safe.
The first one has enough blood to satisfy general zombie fans, but the true gore hounds like me will crave something more. This is where the second game swooped in and answered our prayers by adding in melee weapons with sharp edges that left huge gashes in zombies wherever we like them to be. The style of the second game felt much different because of this element and call me crazy, but it reminded me of Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green with how the melee weapons were done during the multiplayer mode. L4D2 was just a far more polished version of this idea that left us with no complaints other than the price tag.
I guess to sum up what I'm trying to say about this game. Go buy it and go play it until you beat it. When you do then set the difficulty higher and beat it again and again. It's well worth the investment and does not require all that much to play it at decent settings.
