Left 4 Dead




Now I know what you are going to say L4D is not a strategy game but a first person shooter instead. Well if you believe that you have never played L4D. Imagine you are stranded on a roof top with three other tragic unfortunate souls. Now imagine that the city is overrun by flesh eating zombies and oh yes mutated monsters. Now here is where the strategy comes into play. You and your companions must fight your way through the city and to a roof top rescue high on top of Mercy Hospital. By the way the scenario I am referring to is called NO MERCY and believe you me it is just that. With a good plan and teamwork who knows you might just make it out alive. Then again the odds say you are more likely to end up as dinner. I am not a fan of first person shooter games but trust me when I say you will be hooked from the first zombie horde attack. The best part is the game evolves never playing the same way twice so you never know what to expect no matter how many times you play. And the part about working together to get out alive is key to your survival. If you have thoughts of running when one of your team mates is down think again. You might escape that attack but when your alone your about to be dead. There are four characters to choose from and 5 scenarios if you don't count the many mods made for the game. L4D also has different styles of play with the coop I just mentioned and a verses mode where you play as a team switching back and forth as the humans and the infected. That's right you can be the monsters bringing down your rival team. And for you sadists out there there is survival mode which is a sick joke because you will never survive. You see in survival mode the zombie horde keep attacking until your whole party is dead. The goal is to see who can live the longest but make no mistake you will die at some point count on it. So if you love strategy and a challenge then try L4D it will turn your hair white!
