Awesome trailer and maybe a solid single player game but if L4D and L4D2 can't stay the course with us then I don't see this doing so. Still worth keeping an eye on as I have been known to be wrong before...... once..... in 1987.

looks very similar to LFD. I like the idea of being able to craft your own weapons but I haven't seen a whole lot new.

Just started playing this and its a bit of a shame.

It's not something we can explore as a community based game really.

It has a 4 player co-op but its like far cry 2/ borderlands.

A real shame!

Ahh well onto the next one I guess although there is talk of some addons so we will have to wait and see.

Pld this game few hours and cant say that im finding it any good.
The graphics are a shame inside the buildings.( Lots off bugs) mabye they will fix this with some updates.
There's no storyline,it's al bout killing zombie's which are coming like buses onto you...(I know it's the point killing these zombie's) but you get bored that fast...
Sp game also crap,same story kill kill kill there's no end.
1 positieve point it have,is there's lots off side quests so it will take a while before you have finish the game.

And you cant compare this game with Borderlands GM cos that game is way beter then this one......even LFD is beter...

I have been playing it with a mate over LAN and its a good laugh in co-op. The game itself is unfinished and very rough round the edges. The menu system is unfathomable at first and weapon selection/equipment is really frustrating.

Good laugh though!
