12 Insane Links Between Popular Video Games You Totally Missed

5. Left 4 Dead 2 - Dead Rising

Valve are the king of zombie titles, and they managed to do it by doubling-down on a very simple tenet present in all undead fiction - the act of shooting them in the face. Thanks to their exemplary physics engine and refined FPS gameplay from the Half-Life series it played like a dream, punctuated only by diving into one of L4D2's many safe areas to see the last thoughts of a great many of Georgia's citizens scrawled on the wall. Forgoing the nitpick of noticing the rather large distance between Dead Rising and L4D's locations, it's still insanely cool that this is in here, being that one of the endings of Dead Rising saw hero Frank West stranded atop the mall you were attempting to evacuate people from. Otis was your helicopter pilot, and the 'out of film' comment is down to West being a photojournalist - although it's pretty funny to note that this was something a shutterbug thought must be left as their last mark on the world.
