The 37 greatest zombie triumphs

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

You don’t have to see or play absolutely everything on this list to be a proper zombie connoisseur, but you should at least know them. These are the genre’s defining relics. Some are responsible for the very creation of the zombie mythos, others adapted and advanced it, while the rest simply encapsulate it so exquisitely that they must be experienced. This may not be everyone’s definitive list of zombie lore ... » Read More

Left 4 Dead - Crash Course DLC review

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

If Left 4 Dead has any one problem, it’s the sheer bloody length of its campaign missions. With four chapters in a campaign it’s perfectly possible to spend an hour blazing through zombie hordes, but with eight chapters in a versus match games drag on.So goes Valve’s justification for Crash Course’s half-hour, two chapter length. It all sounds a little suspect, but it turns out they’re on to something ... » Read More

10 most frustrating things about gaming online

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

Online gaming is completely different to offline play. There's a tangible buzz and quickening of the heart-rate when you're leading a race on the last lap or sniping some guy in Australia, which you simply can't get from a single-player experience. But this experience can be so easily ruined by a few small things ... » Read More

The Top 7… 2008 games we can't stop playing

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

Unless you’re an eagle-eyed bargain hunter, the price of videogames can put a serious dent in your finances. Here in the US, $60 a pop means the game in question needs to offer hours of content to offset the steadily increasing cost. ... » Read More

How to Survive a Zombie Invasion

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

Fact: zombie invasions suck. Just ask anyone who’s been through one, and he’ll tell you: “bluurble gurrble braiiins.” Does that sound like the guttural moaning of someone who had a good time? No, it sure as shit does not. ... » Read More

What if GamesRadar designed Downloadable Content?

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

You know the only real problem with downloadable content? It’s typically designed by the same people who made the original game. That’s boring. Why not give other folks, who don’t necessarily worry about whether something is “a good idea” or “sensible” or “legal,” a shot? Sure our ideas might be a little unusual at times, and a couple of them could conceivably land someone in jail. ... » Read More

The 10 most common game design mistakes

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

Making games is hard. Making fun of them isn’t. It’s really, really easy, actually. Of course, we wouldn’t be so critical if we didn’t love them so damn much (and if we weren’t, you know, critics). We think games are just the bee’s knees, and that’s why we get so pissed about all the stupid crap they do ... » Read More

Left 4 Dead Lighthouse guide

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead is the best thing that happened to zombies since 28 Days Later, and Valve’s recent release of the free Survival Pack for the PC and 360 only sweetens the deal. The highlights of the fresh content are the Survival Mode and the new Lighthouse map that comes with it. Think of Survival Mode as an ultra condensed version of Left 4 Dead on steroids. ... » Read More

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

Who says surviving the zombie apocalypse is serious business? Thanks to the large collection of fun fan-made stuff on sites like FPSBanana, you can quickly transform Valve’s survival/horror shooter into an absurd adventure - full of Hello Kitty Hunters and Smokers who spout words of wisdom from Randy (oh yeah!) Savage. ... » Read More

100 reasons fanboys hate shooters

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

Cue the banjo! It wouldn’t be the Week of Hate without our trademark “100 Reasons” videos. In case you missed it, last year we targeted game platforms. So this year we thought we’d change it up and go after a few popular genres. Up first, the ubiquitous shooter. ... » Read More

Revealed: the games your girlfriend HATES

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

Contrary to popular belief, most gamers are not sniveling, sweaty-palmed Towers of Awkward roaming the streets in search of any woman who will have them. In fact, most of us find a girl who’s willing to put up with our gaming habits, and forgive the many hours spent saving the world from glowy-eyed zombie Nazis.But guess what – there’s at least one game that’s driving your girlfriend batshit insane. She might ... » Read More

Left 4 Dead cast to appear in music game

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

MEVO & the Grooveriders is a rhythm-based platformer for the PC that’s packed with funky tracks, bright colors, and lots of pretty candy-colored explosions. This cutesy playground is the last place you’d expect to see the four survivors from Valve’s frightening first-person shooter, Left 4 Dead. But if you purchase the special Steam version of the game, that’s exactly what you’ll get. ... » Read More

You got your zombie in my multiplayer!

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

There must have been some multiplayer design summit that our renowned game developers attended a few years ago. Where else could so many devs get the bright idea to throw our new favorite cannon fodder - the zombie (sorry Nazis) - into multiplayer slaughter modes? Not that we’re opposed to the idea at all. We hate zombies! ... » Read More

The Top 7... Naked flesh we didn't want to see

PC Feature | Left 4 Dead

The human form really is a beautiful thing – provided you spend 6 hours daily in the gym and exist solely on Ryvita. If not, it’s something to be covered up, ashamed of and never discussed. Sadly, many developers have no such qualms with nude, fleshy parts. They see games as the perfect forum to roll out a bit of man boob action and unappealing, exposed ass flesh.Got a strong stomach? The following collection of bloated ... » Read More
