Zombies, man, F**ckn Zombies

Left 4 Dead 2 was cheap one weekend, so i bought it for like 30bucks, and was plesantly surprised and disappointed all the same. To be honest it feels like L4D 1.5 or something, not a full on sequel,… Read more

Left 4 Dead 2 needs more

With the first Left 4 Dead, I honestly felt as if I were part of the apocalypse. The color scheme was dark and dreary, the characters acted as if they were afraid of the zombies, rather than mocking t… Read more

A great improvement on the original despite being censored-

L4D2: Picking up where the first one Left off.

Boycotts and accusation of racism aside, this game is another must have title from Valve. L4D2 kept what worked from L4D, and changed what did not work. If you were a fan of Left 4 Dead One, you will… Read more

More of the same, but does that make it bad?

More of a re-do than a true sequel.
