Hello and welcome back to Day 2 of Free
to Play Week and of course a good round of gaming isn't complete
without at least one zombie game. Since 1992 with Alone in the Dark
and in 1996 with Resident Evil, zombies have been the default enemy
for FPS and TPS for survival horror. With this creation on October
falling under Massive Multiple Online First Person Shooter giving a
Player Vs Player and Player Vs Everyone. This is Counter-Strike
Nexon: Zombies.
Get in position, men! |
A spin-off of Counter-Strike after four
incarnations, this MMOFPS offers a free-for-all bloodbath action that
can easily be causal to a full coordinated assault. Counter-Strike
is one of the more popular online games to date. From the pitting
of terrorists vs counter-terrorists play face off to their objective
in round-based combat.
With the option of being the tactical
human squad member to being a rampaging zombie rendering flesh and
creating exponentially more zombies, the graphics run fairly smooth,
give multiple levels or mapped regions to play in. Make no mistake,
this is purely team effort, free range games of racking up kill
counts and solo journeys. With a wide variety of weapons and ground
to choose from, the roaming undead are not slumping along Romero
style but actually very quick, aggressive and dangerous as all get
out. After six violent deaths I know of what I speak. It's the
gluing fingers back on part that annoys me.

Zombie experience aside this version
has all the standard modes like Hostage Rescue and Bomb Diffusion
giving the team a split-second decision making all the while up in
their necks in the enemy. From spectator, good guys and bad guys
this Counter-Strike differs in only the introduction of zombies to
this FPS franchise.
A few comments about the overall game
play.
Keyboard directional is standard WASD
and third button mouse to select weapons or the hot keyed F1 and on.
Comes with a TeamSpeak or Ventrilo option for chating with your
team. Standard FPS and TPS view can be swapped out during play or
downtime between events as usual. The downsides are also abundant.
The complex levels of menus, craftung system, the enormous inventory
to keep track of and the server browser. Throughout the game time,
pop-ups will occur on every menu screen to try and tempt you to play
for the day. You haven't completed the weekly challenge. Are you
sure you want to quit? You have unclaimed prizes! Are you sure you
want to quit?
Meanwhile, the poor slob just wants
lunch or maybe to go for a walk. Aside from the nagging of stay
demands, the most problem you have is the zombie swarms book at an
impressive rate so have a SAW (Squad Assault Weapon) at the ready.
Other than an occasional jump scare the worst thing will happen is a
finger cramp for the trigger button.
Zombie mime!! Get it!!! |
