There are games you want everyone to play, just so they can experience what you've such a good time with, and Left 4 Dead is one of them. It's unlike any other game we've ever played.
Set in a modern day survival-horror universe, the co-operative gameplay of Left 4 Dead casts four "Survivors" in an epic struggle against hordes of swarming zombies and terrifying "Boss Infected" mutants.
There's absolutely no doubt that Left 4 Dead is one of the most social and exciting multiplayer games that we've ever played. It's almost pitch perfect in how it captures the tension and the action of a Hollywood zombie movie. This is an incredible and highly replayable multiplayer experience that's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're looking to prepare yourself for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. Just make sure you bring your friends.

No matter what you say, Left 4 Dead is an excellent title. It gets everything right. It’s simple enough for anyone to play, unique enough for everyone to enjoy, and intelligent enough for no one to get tired of. Isn’t that the game we’ve been asking for?
Zombies are cool ... well not zombies themselves, but rather the act of butchering them in a gratuitous way. After all there is nothing more fun than taking your trusty shotgun and beheading a few dozen members of the undead as you romp to freedom. Obviously Valve came to the same conclusion and have decided that pitting players against the endless hordes is the way to go, so they’ve dusted off the Source engine, given it a few tweaks and then set it loose at your jugular.
