2) Left 4 Dead: Valve once again proves that all good things come in time with the release of Left 4 Dead. The long awaited zombie thriller game is finally here and features some technology we have yet to see in other games. One major advancement that have made is with what they have dubbed the 'AI Director'. This allows the game to judge how you have done so far in the game and tweak the AI to be the perfect balance of challenge and fun for your skill set. The Co-op modes are great fun and really put an emphasis on team work in the name of survival. If you have played other horror games in the past, or even if you are new to the genre, you really need to play Left 4 Dead.
