If you actually look beyond the somewhat dated graphics, it's a pretty nice game. It used to be a free mod for UT2004, but Tripwire hired the team and they completely revamped it and brought it retail.

Unlike L4D, this game focuses more on the 'horror' factor; there's no 'versus' mode, it's just you and up to 5 of your friends, traveling through the map, surviving against zombie hordes and eventually an 'end-boss'. During the game, you will be able to find weapons (12+) or buy them from a trader which is hidden somewhere on the map.

Another unique gameplay option is the ability to weld doors shut, to control the flow of specimen a bit. The game's also rumored to have barricading, but that hasn't been confirmed.

 

Pre-orders started on steam at 13,49 euros, release @ 14th of May which is in 4 days, so buy it now if you want to save 25%.

 

There's zombies, chainsaws, and Duality and me playing it; you have no excuse to not buy it :P

 

Before anyone goes 'lol l4d copy'; I've played L4D since release and enjoyed it very much. This game is sufficiently different from L4D to warrant buying it, especially for the low price ;)

Left 4 Dead is a highly polished game designed from the bottom up to deliver great team play and fluidity through the levels as you play towards your end goal of being rescued.

 

Killing Floor is a (rather poor) mod from a previous game that has been released as a stand-alone game to make some cash. Game highlight is staying in one place, welding a door shut and shooting zombies. Utterly boring and repetitive.

 

I wish I hadn't bought it tbh.

Yea I prefer Left 4 Dead over Killing Floor. Some of my clan mates may disagree with me on it. But I think Left 4 Dead just runs smoother.
