Left 4 Dead 2

From the creators of Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Portal and Team Fortress, comes another action-packed game, Left 4 Dead 2. But unlike many of the games that envision Zombies Apocalypse, the game doesn’t focus much on the details on the storyline. In Left 4 Dead 2, there are zombies – some of the most dangerous of their kind and they come in large numbers, outnumbering the survivors, and players have fight in order to escape the horde of zombies.  The game is designed for co-op play like Counter-Strike. In the game, the 4 players must work together as a team to finish each level. Players can lend each other artillery support, share ammo and give each other a hand when zombies are closing in on them.  It is a survival horror game and players are often advised to stay together to survive.

Left 4 dead 2, which is now available for purchase through XBOX Live, supports different languages including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Chinese on Demand version.
