The most anticipated video games of 2008

The most anticipated games of 2008. Where to begin? There are many a title coming out in 2008 it's hard to find one to start with. But, as they say, you've got to start somewhere. So let's begin with Valves latest production.

Left 4 Dead:

This first person shooter was produced by Valve, the company most notably known for the "Half-Life" and "Counter-Strike" series. This particular action game, set to release September of this year, has caught the eye of many FPS fans. This game takes place in a apocalyptic world, where four survivors battle to live from a worldwide plague that has converted most of the human population into flesh eating zombies.

This game sets out to do for co-op survival what counterstrike did for team combat. This game is one to eight players, having four survivors and four zombies per team, with intelligent computer AI to fill in the gaps. This game looks very interesting for anyone who enjoys team survival, or squad tactics games. And especially if your zombie fans as I am.

Developer: Valve
Release Date: September 08
Platform: Xbox 360 and PC
Players: 1-8

Dead Island:

Dead Island is a game created by the Polish studio Techland, also known for their creation of "Call of Juarez". It is another FPS (First Person Shooter) based off of the zombie survival genre. You play a character that is on the way to a dream island with their fiance for their honeymoon.

Your plane crashes into the ocean and you scramble to an island which appears to be inhabited by a motley assortment of survivors and the walking dead.

Along with that, it claims that every decision that is made by the player has some affect on the island as a whole.
