Have you ever wondered what life would be if there was a zombie apocalypse? Well this game will
make you realize what it feels like!

This game is a cooperative first person shooter , arcade style game where you need to survive against countless hordes of zombies... Yes.. ZOMBIES.

GAMEPLAY:

Left 4 Dead is a first-person shooter. In campaign mode, the player takes control of one of the survivors; if four human players are not available, then the remaining survivors are AI-controlled bots. They play through the levels fighting off the infected—living humans who have been infected with a rabies-like virus that causes psychosis. The survivors are carriers of the disease, so they do not show signs of any symptoms.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

XYZenon GamesAre you guys interested in playing First-Person Shooter war games? well this game is the bomb. Similar to the earlier games of Call of Duty series , The game features modern equipments, weapons and all . It also has new features many exclusive to multiplayer gaming. A character can be positioned in one of three stances: standing, crouching, or prone; each affecting the character's rate of movement, accuracy, and stealth. Using cover helps the player avoid enemy fire or recover health after taking significant damage. As such, there are no armor or health power ups. When the character has taken damage, the edges of the screen glow red and the character's heartbeat increases. If the character stays out of fire, the character can recover. When the character is within the blast radius of a live grenade, a marker indicates the direction of the grenade, helping the player to either flee or toss it back to the enemy.


But growing up playing alone on my computer, What matter the most to me is the CAMPAIGN. I love to play games with good story flow, it gets me going and drives me good. It excites me and help me finish the game. 

Campaign

The player takes on the role of various characters during a single-player campaign. The characters' involvement in the plot occurs simultaneously and overlaps the events in the game. As such, the player's perspective changes from one character to another between missions. Each mission features a series of objectives; the player is led to each objective with the heads up display, which marks its direction and distance. Some objectives require that the player arrives at a checkpoint, while other objectives require the player to eliminate enemies in a specified location, stand their ground to defend an objective, or plant explosive charges on an enemy installation. After the credits, a special epilogue mission is unlocked for play, featuring a four-man squad retrieving a VIP from terrorists who have hijacked an airliner. The SAS rescue the VIP and escape before the plane is destroyed.

Counter Strike

OVERVIEW:

Counter Strike is an awesome first-person shooter game developed by Valve , It originated from the game Half Life which is also awesome btw. This game has been a huge huge success since its release. We can say that because up until now it is still going strong. There are only few games that last more than a decade, and This game is one of them
-XYZenon


GAMEPLAY:

Counter Strike or lets just say CS is a game composed of two opposing teams. The "Counter-Terrorist" which is basically the good guys, and the "Terrorist" the bad ones. The Counter-Terrorist team's goal is to stop the Terrorist from bombing the "BOMB-ZONE" and rescuing the hostages from them. vice versa, The terrorist goal is to get to the bomb-zone and plant a bomb there, or just defend the hostages till the time is up.
If ever that one team is completely annihilated,  the round is over and the other team wins. The game will start again and so on and so forth.

If ever my explanation does not suffice, here is some from our dear friend wiki

STORY:

In 1992, Carl "C.J." Johnson returns to Los Santos after spending five years living in Liberty City when his brother Sean "Sweet" Johnson calls to inform him of their mother's murder. Shortly after leaving the airport, Carl is intercepted by a group of corrupt LSPD C.R.A.S.H. officers led by Frank Tenpenny, with whom Carl has a history. Tenpenny implicates Carl in the murder of a police officer that Tenpenny himself committed and threatens to frame him for it if he does not cooperate.


Carl returns to his former home on Grove Street and reunites with Sweet as well as fellow members of his old gang Ryder and Big Smoke. Finding that the Grove Street Families (GSF) have lost much of their territory while he was gone, Carl decides to stay in town. Working with the others to re-establish the GSF, Carl gradually restores the gang to power, driving off the rival Ballas and Vagos gangs and reducing the amount of drugs on the street. While en route to join Sweet for a final stand against the Ballas, Carl is contacted by his sister Kendl's boyfriend, Cesar Vialpando. Cesar brings Carl to a garage where they witness Smoke and Ryder meeting with Tenpenny and a group of Ballas. Suspecting a set-up, Carl rushes to Sweet's aid, but the police arrive shortly afterward. Sweet is thrown in jail while Tenpenny takes Carl into the countryside and dumps him there.

Warcraft 3 is another strategy game I love to play, I dont get to play with other players on LAN but I love to finish their campaign for it entails a very great story.

REIGN OF CHAOS:

XYZenon Games

Prologue: Exodus of the Horde

Thrall awakes fom a strange vision, directing him to the prophet Medivh who tells him to rally the orcs from Lordaeron and travel to Kalimdor, where they shall meet their destiny. He frees the orcs from the remaining internment camps, including Grom Hellscream.

Final Fantasy IX (PS1)

FFIX PS version

XYZenon Games
   In the Final Fantasy Franchise, for me this is one of the best they ever made. I played this game almost everyday when I was young and finished it more than 5 times. Its story is indeed amazing. The Graphics is not bad if you compare other games on their generation.

Its plot Centers on a war between nations in their world. Our main protagonist , a thief named Zidane(or What ever you name him) joins with others to defeat the Queen of Alexandria, the person responsible for starting the war, then the plot shifts ti another bad guy who is the master mind behind the Queen, named Kuja

                                                                                                                      -Wikipedia

This game taught me how to be patient and always be prepared for the worse. I used most of my time trying to level up my characters and win those silly card games :).

My favorite parts were the last fight and the cinematic after that. It is very touching for me.

Super Mario

SUPER MARIO!


XYZenon GamesOne of my MOST FAVORITE game ever! I bet almost every 90's Kid have played this game.
This game is a legend. up to now it is still alive after all

The Player takes on a role of an Italian plumber named Mario
. Mario's slightly younger brother is named  Luigi, is only playable by the second player in the game's multiplayer mode, and assumes the same plot role as Mario. The objective is to race through the Mushroom Kingdom, survive the main antagonist Bowser′s forces and save Princess Toadstool. The player moves from the left side of the screen to the right side in order to reach the flag pole at the end of each level. (thanks wikipedia)

This game has a lot of secret. You can have extra life by just jumping over an invisible wall. Passing levels by going down the right sewer, and even having a " HUNDRED LIVES" by doing some trick.
This game has a lot of secrets that it is so hard to master it.

StarCraft

According to Wikipedia:



StarCraft is a military science fiction real-time strategy game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment and released for Microsoft Windows on March 31, 1998.The game later spawned a franchise, and is the first game of the StarCraft series. A Mac OS version was released in 1999, and a Nintendo 64 adaptation co-developed with Mass Media was released on June 13, 2000. Work on the game started shortly after Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness's release in 1995. StarCraft debuted at the 1996 E3, where it was unfavorably compared to Warcraft II; as a result, the project was entirely overhauled and then showcased to public in early 1997, receiving a far more positive response.

 Set in a fictitious timeline during the Earth's 25th century, the game revolves around three species fighting for dominance in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy known as the Koprulu Sector: the Terrans, humans exiled from Earth skilled at adapting to any situation; the Zerg, a race of insectoid aliens in pursuit of genetic perfection, obsessed with assimilating other races; and the Protoss, a humanoid species with advanced technology and psionic abilities, attempting to preserve their civilization and strict philosophical way of living from the Zerg.

Many people form the industry of journalism have praised the Game STARCRAFT as one of THE BEST! and most promising video game of all time. With almost 11mil + copies sold worldwide as of Feb 2009. It is one of the best selling games for a PC. It was praised for pioneering the use of uniqe faction in real time gaming and strategy.

"DOOM" The very first game I played on PC


According to Wikipedia:

XYZenon Games


Doom  is a science horror-themed science first-person shooter game by "id Software".

In Doom, YOU( players ) assume the role of a space marine, who became popularly known as "Doomguy" I dont know why He is called that but, fighting their way through hordes of invading demons from Hell.


The Doom franchise was later continued with the follow-up Doom II: Hell on Earth (1994) and numerous mission packs, including Master Levels for Doom II , and Final Doom .

 Originally released for PC DOS, the games have later been ported to numerous other platforms. Once the game's source code was released in 1997, it spawned even more adaptations, as fans further ported the code to countless devices. The series started to lose mainstream appeal as the technology of the Doom game engine was surpassed in the mid-1990s, although fans have continued making WADs, speedruns, and modifications to the original.
