Left 4 Dead 2 Review


It’s almost too soon, and indeed, only a year has passed since Valve released the original Left 4 Dead. Breaking down the parts that make up this sequel, however, will explain how this one is the true zombie apocalypse experience that should have been in the first place.

If you liked the first game, you will love this one – deservedly so, as many of the game’s core elements have been improved, beefed up, and diversified.

Left 4 Dead 2 Review


Well, it’s that time of year again. The time when all of those big-shot game developers KNOW that you are sitting on your fat butts looking for something fun to do, so of course all of the best games are released! Well we all know that Valve has an impressive track record with The Orange Box and the previous Left 4 Dead, so we should certainly expect nothing less than gold from their new zombie slasher-thrasher, but should you spend your hard earned money on this, or one of the many other new releases? Well I’d like to thank Valve for sending me an early copy of the game to review for all of you, so here are my thoughts on Left 4 Dead 2.

Developers Should Shorten Games


clock2As with anything, when it comes to the gaming industry, there’s tons to complain about. Casual games, for instance. Or monstrous price tags. Just choose your poison.

But the biggest problem, by far, is that they’re too damn long. In this fast-paced culture, who has time for 20 hours (and upwards) of gameplay? We can’t even find time to cook our own food anymore, let alone churning through whole days playing video games.

The single Best/Worst E3 Announcements


trauma center gotgame booth babesEvery E3 event has its amazing announcements for new IPs: many that have already leaked, plenty that nobody care about, and announcements that never happened.

Seeing as this year’s E3 is no different, let us weigh our opinions on the best announcement, worst announcement, and must disappointing unannouncement at E3 this year. Final Fantasy what? 14?

The Infection’s Spreading: Left 4 Dead Sale Increases Purchases 3000%


cash-zombieIf undead-centric films and games have taught me anything, it’s that it takes more than a few headshots to keep a good zombie plague down. Resident Evil, George Romero… the undead always come back bigger and badder for a second helping of the helpless.

Ghost Recon Weekend


Valve is very good to its fans — actually, better than most.

A Left 4 Dead Movie


With each chapter of Left 4 Dead being its own story with a cinematic gameplay style, if there was ever a game that needed to be made into a movie, it’s this one. However, without a good director, writer, and cast the Left 4 Dead movie would fall victim to the same fate as most other game to movie transitions. So let’s look at who should take on the task of turning the Death Toll campaign into a movie.
