I’m usually not one for advocating the mass destruction of my fellow zombie brethren, but I understand the human will of survival and the need to train yourself in case of the impending Zombie Apocalypse. This is why a string of video games are based solely on getting your trigger finger ready and two such games are Left 4 Dead I & II.
I had never shown that great of an interest in video games, although I did enjoy Pong, and this is mainly due to my decomposing nature that causes my thumbs to break off. However, a friend of mine talked me into sitting down and playing a few rounds, so I dove in.
Left 4 Dead is pretty basic in storyline, four survivors left alive in a zombie apocalypse and they are shooting their way out to salvation. Just like Jesus would want you to do. Zombies either stand by idly, easy to kill, or they attack you in hordes, ripping you and your allies apart.
For the most part, the game stays at a certain level of difficulty and you are able to make your way through pretty easily. Some other game reviewswere pretty harsh on this aspect.
Left 4 Dead 2, however, bombards you with hordes of zombies at every turn. In L4D 1 you can fight off the horde with the aid of the other survivors, but if you pause for one second in L4D 2 you might as well drop your gun and feed the masses.

The worst campaign for me was the Carnival because I kept stopping to kill zombies on the rollercoaster. Unlike L4D1, you get me-lee weapons in 2 and can slice, hack or smash zombies continuously without the weapon ever breaking. Yet, the best advice for surviving L4D 2 is simple, RUN.
So if you are a gamer and enjoy killing zombies by the hundreds then Left 4 Dead I&II were made just for you. Enjoy it while you can because when the Zombie Apocalypse comes, and it will come, bullets and canned foods will only last you so long. Sooner or later, you’ll be one of us.
