10 Best Multiplayer Horror Video Games

10. Left 4 Dead 2

Valve may have left this series for dead with the most recent release coming in 2009, but Left 4 Dead 2's gameplay still holds up fantastically well, offering hours of fun for you and three of your mates.

You have control over one of four playable characters: Nick, Ellis, Rochelle and Coach. In the campaign mode, you must work together throughout five different levels to fight off the zombie hordes and reach safety.

The most interesting aspect of the game design introduces an AI Director. This means that the difficulty of the game will change on the fly depending on how well you are doing and how quickly you are progressing.

This combination of fast-paced action with the idea that you are never safe makes for a thrilling horror experience.

Other game modes include Versus, which see the campaigns played as normal, but the special infected - hunters, smokers, boomers, and even tanks - are controlled by other people, who can win the round by killing the survivors.

There is also a terrific Survival mode where you must simply last as long as you can and a Scavenge mode where survivors must collect fuel and the player-controlled infected must stop them.

There is endless fun to be had in the world of Left 4 Dead 2.
