One can't really slow the other down. Unless it's a one person show (it's not) then good graphics don't have to hurt the quality of the game. mb, the artists make the art and the coders make the game.

So you have to Cut n' Paste the ZPS folder to wherever you installed Steam (in my case, to my separate games hard drive). Just a heads up if you don't see the game showing up in Steam.

The survivors have to complete a set of objectives or navigate through a map while another player, randomly selected at the start of the round, must spawn different classes of zombies and set off Final Destination style traps to kill them all off. They development team have been on a bit of a break for a few months but they had been putting out pretty regular updates up until then. Another fun one to try out is zombie master.

Anyone remember playing skirmishes in <i>Aliens vs. Predator</i>? Now that was something.

In the actual state I find them fun for some mindless fragfest but hardly challenging or skill-based. ZP it's promising (the whole inventory system it's a very good idea). Just a bit unbalanced: zombies always wins when there are 20 players and have a very tough time when the players are around 10-12. I still don't see the reason to download something like that (or even pay for it!) when there are server-side mods that can do the same things.

It's lead by the man behind <i>Red Orchestra</i>, which is a Hell of a selling point already for free mods.

Was great fun being the first and only zombie, and having to sneak around to get the first kill against maybe 6 humans. Played this for a few hours at a Christmas LAN party.
