I didn't quite get it at first - it just seemed like a melee-focused, Warhammer knock-off of Left 4 Dead.

Ad Verse effects

Good evening, dear readers! It's March, just about - is it just me, or is time moving very fast this year? (Sorry February post, I tried but I've been busy). This term I've still been doing flash fiction/ short stories in my Horror/ SF/ Fantasy module, but poetry has been taking up most of my...
