Players will take control of characters from a selection of oddballs and misfits with various customizable parts and be thrown to the wolves to survive waves upon waves of mutated and mangled Zeds out for blood. Taking place one month after its predecessor, Killing Floor 2 sees players dealing with the aftermath of a deadly outbreak from the Bio-tech company Horzine, one that turned people into Zeds: the series version of zombie-like monsters. Killing Floor 2 is both developed and published by Tripwire Interactive, building off of the success of the previous title originally launched in 2009. But once in a while we are thrown a little gem that gives us the over-the-top, Tarantino-esque violence we crave and trade in the overabundance of fear for some ridiculous and psychotic over the top heroism.

In most cases it involves an onslaught of unstoppable, mindless former-people closing in on a hapless and horrified hero. Whether in video games, movies, TV shows and pretty much anything else we use to entertain ourselves, we are captivated by the idea of a plague of the undead and the horrors it brings. Zombies have become a staple of our gore and violence fueled multi-media obsession.
