Interactive Left 4 Dead Movie Tests Zombie Apocalypse Readiness
Can playing videogames help you survive in a world of zombies? Well, it depends on which games you play.
Zombie apocalypses are all the rage right now, and chances are you've spared a thought or two for what you might do if the dead really did start roaming the Earth.
But as useful as it is to have a plan, eventually you'll find yourself in a situation where you have to make a snap decision based on limited information, when all your contingencies and preparations are for naught.
Fortunately, a new interactive video based on Valve's Left 4 Dead games gives you the chance to practice, without actually having to get eaten by zombies if you mess up. Created by the folks at TheGameStation [http://www.youtube.com/TheGameStation], the video features four gamers on the run from the undead. As often happens in these situations, they wind up trapped in a building with a ravening pack of zombies outside, ready to feast on their tasty brains.
At that moment, it is up to the viewer to decide whose gaming-inspired plan the group should follow in their bid for continued existence. It's not a super-serious video - far from it, in fact - and the plans are more funny then they are practical, but it's really well done and it's a great way to spend a few minutes laughing at zombies.
