Left 4 Dead

New co-op Game which came out on Friday, unfortunately I missed the download window for the demo, so I havn't gotton my hands on it yet, but from the trailers and gameplay videos I have seen, it looks like it will be on my christmas list this year! The basic story line is that you are one of a group of four survivors of a zombie apocolypse, two weeks after the zombie infection breakout. You are constantly trying to escape to the next point of safety, and working co-operatively with your three team-mates, you have your work cut out for you.



The enemy is controlled by an advanced AI controller, which measures how well you are doing, and reacts accordingly to keep the game fresh and fun to play. For example, if you are mowing down waves of zombies effortlessly, the game's AI cranks up the amount of zombies and their intelligence. Conversely if you just got your asses handed to you several times on a platter, the game takes it a little bit easier on you. Your 3 team-mates can be controlled by AI, which are supposed to be able to hold their own up until the final level, where they are generally lacking, or so I've heard. But to really enjoy this game, you will need to play it with some friends, and work closely with them to stay alive throughout the game.
