Another good Killing Floor co-op

Mondays are special, something to look forward to. When else in the week can you load up with a man cannon, AK-47 and  gun down wave after wave of screaming witches and rocket toting mutants?

Killing Floor has a special charm, a comic-book lightheartedness. While L4D is a classic, there something endearing about Killing Floor. Maybe it's the RPG leveling system, or the purchasing of supplies between rounds that adds that something extra, making it a co-op game that lends itself to played again and again. 

Whatever it is, all I can say is "bring on next Monday".

Killing Floor Co-op Gaming Night

My regular Co-op gaming night is pretty much focused around killing zombies. So when Steam had the Killing Floor on sale recently, it was a must have purchase.

Similar to Left-4-Dead, Killing Floor is a team based co-op FPS with an emphasis on zombies. Think 28 Days Later meets Counter Strike.

Set in all manner of different locations, from the east end of London to the swamps of the Mississippi. The aim is always the same: survive round after round of zombies.

There's a nice mixture of zombies, from the standard bullet fodder to chainsaw wielding hard-knocks. At the end of each round a shop opens, allowing you to buy and sell weapons and armaments. Upgrading weapons is essential as in later rounds the number and difficulty of the enemy waves increases.

The Killing Floor is great fun that manages to get the balance between military zombie killing and B movie silliness just about right, plus it's available for Mac too.
