Left 4 Dead
This is the most fun you will have playing co-op this year, even more fun than Gears of War 2, yes it's that good.
Ok now I have got the big statement out of the way here is my review and you are about to learn why I don't work for a computer game magazine.
First off don't buy this game if you have no friends to play it with, as it really is a co-op only game although you can play it with bots, it's just not as fun. The bots are good enough, for starters they never friendly fire and they will never leave a man behind however it's playing with your mates where this game comes into its own. What is more fun than mowing down zombies with your mates? In the world of computer games, almost nothing. Then when one of the special infected attack, screaming "Hunter" or TANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKK!" while everybody panics, it just gets better.
On to the game itself, with only 4 levels that take about one hour each to complete it isn't the deepest of games, however each level meets the standards that we have come to expect from Valve and each one has a unique feel and assuming that we are getting some DLC then we will be seeing some more top levels in future, hopefully involving vehicles, I mean how fun would it be with one person driving a truck while the rest have to kill the zombies chasing you!
Another slight flaw with the characters is that they are all basically the same, just with different skins, it would have been nice if there were some differences between them, like one could run faster or one could hold more than one med pack to add some more tactical elements to the game.
This is basically the game that any zombie fan has being wating for for the past, well ever, it maybe simple in it's appoarch, go from point A to point B while fighting off zombies but never has linear co-op been this fun. If you like zombies, have friends and a PC or 360 then buy this game. You will not regret it.
