I really enjoyed this game the first time I played it through, before the Following was released. It has fun gameplay and a pretty good character development. It's fun to play with your friends, and even if you just feel like taking out some frustration, you can ignore the story and go on a zombie rampage.

The only thing I didn't enjoy in the story was the ending, and I've gotten the impretion that it's the same for a lot of people. But the rest of the game is well worth it.

I can't say much about the Following, because I've just started playing it, but it looks fun and I'm expecting to enjoy it.
