Platform: PC
Genre: Survival, Strategy, First-Person Shooter, Horror
Online Interaction: Co-op, Multiplayer and download
Story: While a group of people were in town, a weird disease spreads and they hold themselves up in a police station. With no other options and the infected closing in on them they must team up and make their way to safety. Or die trying.
Ha ha... I don't think I read the story right... ANYWAY. This game is generally like the Left 4 Dead series but isn't. This game gives you the option of being alone, with a group or a "trust no one" type deathmatch where instead of working together to save each other. You must not only survive the zombies, but your fellow humans as well. I haven't gotten much of the game played yet but all I know is zombies can be a pain, literally. In most other games, zombies are pretty consistent. But in Contagion, some zombies can have a random trait about them. From as simple as the ability to rush their prey to being able to take more hits than their bretherin. With some of the co-op missions needing specific items to get to the end and a variation of weapons for people to use, this game can easily be better than Left 4 Dead in my option.
Rating: 90/100
Reason: This game is GREAT but my couple of pet peeves I've been having are some animations can cause lag, a swarm of zombies causing lag or some "Super Infected" where you can use almost a whole clip to the face and they'll keep running at you. Though I'm being light on it cause this game is made in source, fairly new and it hasn't had a chance to get that many updates. I still recommend it to anyone who has friends or is a fan of zombie shooters, not much on the horror side but still it's a zombie shooter, what's not to like?
