What is it that makes this game one of the all time greats? SlapStic.com presents this take on the game, which goes in depth with a description of what the game is, what it does SO right, and what sorts of things happen when you play it.

At one point, while playing with 3 friends, we got into a situation where we had to defend ourselves in a small, two-story house from an unending wave of zombies for 10 minutes while a rescue helicopter was on its way. All four of us got inside an enclosed staircase with two men covering the door at the top and two covering the door at the bottom. One player on both ends of the staircase squatted down while firing, so that the person behind them had a clear shot. Any stray bullet that hits a teammate DOES deplete their health, so we weren't taking any chances. Our team was fairing well for the first five minutes, fending off wave after wave of the infected with little problem. Unfortunately, our good luck didn't last, as the two guys covering the entrance to the top of the staircase reported with genuine terror that a Tank was thundering towards their position. The two abandoned their positions, sprinting downstairs and into the living room, where one was pinned by a waiting Hunter, and another was mobbed by over a dozen infected. The guy that had been with me at the bottom of the staircase began attempting to blow away the attackers using a shotgun, in an effort to free his two friends.
