Left 4 Dead is one of the most intensely co-operative experiences in gaming history, it requires constant teamwork, communication and support. So lots of people die, a lot. This long-running series sees a bickering group of gamers attempting to navigate the zombie apocalypse while riffing on each other and swearing profusely, their banter is fast-paced and urbane and some of the improvised quips are genius: "I am once more being licked... and vomited on... it's like a fucking celebrity party". I won't spoil it for you but if you have a hankering for banter and enjoy seeing people alternately support and grief each other then you're in for a treat. There are also some nice shout-outs to the previous episodes with series favorite Aovnick as the voice of the helicopter: "Oh you guys and your fancy closet technology so far ahead of my helicopter and its flying... metal things!" A long and hilarious romp which keeps the laughs coming.
