Left 4 Dead 1 y 2

Left 4 Dead is a classic among zombie-themed cooperative shooter games. Both parts 1 and 2 are ideal for horror movie fans, who will have a blast trying to survive attacks from hoards of the undead. Both Left 4 Dead versions offer a similar game system, giving us four survivors with very different skills and play styles. Each group of friends must assign itself a role and cooperate with everyone else to get ahead. To beat each level, there needs to be a strong rapport between all the players, who must communicate constantly. If you’re interested, you can download both Left 4 Dead below.

Unreal Tournament 2004

It’s been many (many!) years since Unreal Tournament 2004 was released, but it’s still one of the most entertaining games to play online. Anything goes in this multiplayer FPS for a total of 32 players. Simply create your character, choose the type of map and the objective of the game, and may the best man win. Don’t expect breathtaking graphics or a highly complex plot, because in Unreal Tournament the only thing that matters is making your rival explode and having a good time. In a nutshell, Unreal Tournament 2004 is pure fun. You can download the title by clicking the link below.

Drawful 2

Few multiplayer games are as original and as fun as Drawful 2. To play this game, you need a minimum of three players or a total of eight… but ultimately, thousands of people around the world will be part of your game. In Drawful 2, the players draw pictures, Pictionary style, and the rest write down what they think it is. Once they’re finished, everyone who is watching your game online will vote for the answer they think is correct, choosing the winner. Exceptionally fun, Drawful 2 can be played remotely from your phone or tablet (this way it’s much easier to draw), making it the perfect game for a few laughs on the sofa at home. We highly recommend it! You can download Drawful 2 quickly and safely below.
