Game Review: Left 4 Dead
Left 4 Dead
I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of zombie thrillers, so I was hesitant about picking up the latest game from Valve; Left 4 Dead. I just don’t really get why people like zombies so much.. there seems to be a glut of zombie stories and games of late.. and let’s be honest, most stories, games, and movies that feature the oddly loved zombie all portray them in a similar light; mindless undead husks of their former selves all wandering around looking for “braiiiins”..
Not really sure why zombies want brains but by god they do! All zombies that is except those in left 4 dead. Thankfully Turtle Rock Studios, the original developers of L4D made a decision fairly early on that their zombies wouldn’t be wandering around aimlessly looking for that oh so delectiable grey matter but rather, they just want to kill you. Fair enough, considering you play through the game as one of four “survivors” who’s only mission is to cure the zombie plague, one bullet at a time. Turn abouts fair play I say.
