Word of the day: Infection.

It’s the name of a game mode in the Dark Ops section of Perfect Dark Zero multiplayer. Basically, it’s a zombie movie turned into a game. Living players try to hold out from an approaching horde of skeleton players. If a living person dies, they become one of the skeletons. If the living players survive five minutes then they get the points.

(I’ve heard of PC game mods along the same lines before, but never played any of them.)

We played a load of games with about eleven players on the Urban map. Every game, the humans would hole up in a hotel with only one entrance and the skeletons would have to pick off people when the got a chance until the balance had shifted enough for the skeletons to storm the hotel and for the living players to try to flee.

I only survived once, but that was a sweet, sweet moment.

Apart from that, I’ve only played Geometry Wars 2, which is like a quick blast of Mutant Storm Reloaded, sort of thing.
