For those who don't know yet, we own an internet cafe here in the Philippines. Recently, we did a bit of upgrading. We installed a new multiplayer game on our units, Left 4 Dead by the company Valve. It was released November of last year, and not too many people have it here. Now, I had read some gamer reviews and it sounded like a fun and challenging game. Then, we saw one of our friends playing it at their house...it looked way fun! So we searched for a copy of the game and installed it here in our cafe. The first day that it was installed we decided to give it a try.
Left 4 Dead is a first person shooter game, set in a post zombie apocalypse world. You form a team of 4 survivors that have a simple goal, to escape to an evacuation point and kill as many zombies along the way as possible. The thing that sets this game apart from others is that, no matter how good you are, if you stray from the group you're dead meat. The sheer number of zombies on each map is staggering. Also, they aren't like the zombies we all know and love, wandering around slowly and struggling to stay standing. No, if the zombies on Left 4 Dead find you, they swarm. They run fast and climb walls so they can get to you as fast as possible. Make sure you have enough ammunition or you'll be overrun.
So, I gave it a try on single player, which means that the computer controls the other 3 characters. The graphics were amazing, and the gameplay flowed very smoothly. I soon grew very attached to the game, and couldn't wait to try it with other human players. So, when Jonah arrived, we started playing. We played for probably around 4 or 5 hours, and loved it. I think that if we can get the knowledge of the game out to our customers, it will be a hit.
Here is Valve's official trailer for Left 4 Dead...
