Valve has once again produced a beauty. What can be more fun than slaughtering zombies with 3 buds (or random people online)? Simple, yet extremely fun. That seems to be Valves main formula when making a game. You have your choice of 3 types of weapons. Pistols (upgradeable to Dual Pistols), your Uzi (upgradeable to an assault rifle) and your Shotgun (upgradeable to an automatic shotgun). Generally, you just fight off hordes of zombies and try to make it to the end of a given level. But every once in a while, you'll fight "Special" zombies. Hunters crawl around like spiders, and will pounce you when you least expect it. There's no escaping his grasp, you'll need the help of your team to win. then there's the Smoker. They usually hide on rooftops or behind cars and use their elastic long tongues to pull you from afar. There's also the Boomer. These gelatinous masses literally vomit on their victims which causes any nearby zombies to ravage the poor unfortunate soul. Last but not least is the Tank. This monster is a beast, it has an immense amount of health and cant fling you hundreds of feet. It usually takes the whole team to bring it down. Guess what though? You can actually play as these special zombies in a versus mode! In versus, there are 2 teams. The Survivors, and the Infected. As Survivors, your goal is to, well, survive. As Infected, you randomly spawn as either a Boomer, Hunter or Smoker. Once the survivors get to a certain point, one of the Infected players randomly becomes the Tank, and can inflict massive amounts of damage. There are 5 campaigns and a downloadable Survival Mode, so this game should never get boring.
