Left for Dead


There is a first person shooter that was released recently called Left For Dead from Valve. At first glance it seems to be a typical zombie survival shooter, but it turns out that the main focus of the game is cooperative and versus multiplayer. My understanding is that it does have single player modes, however where it really seems to shine is scenarios where you and a group of friends can either try and survive a massive onslaught of sorta dead lumbering people, or play a versus team game where one side plays zombies with the other being humans.

With this and the brothers in arms series, I'm happy to see FPS games trying out cooperative playing more and more. It's nice because people with varying skill levels can still play together, rather than one obviously outmatched person dying over and over. Here is a link to a more thorough review at IGN PC. Ive added a gameplay video below:

People love co-op. It should have never gone away!
