Well just when you thought Valve couldn’t get any better at bringing amazing multiplayer experiences to PC gamers they went and released Left 4 Dead 2. Around a year of development time it created quite a storm around online communities for abandoning the original Left 4 Dead and for not having enough of a graphical update. How wrong were they

Graphics look more polished, blood and gore is more plentiful and the whole gameplay just feels more exciting from the get go. There is plenty of extra content here to justify it as a sequel a favourite of mine being the Realism mode which as the name suggests makes it feel more realistic with less ammo and better accuracy required to survive.

Oh and who could forget the brilliant inclusion of melee weapons, there’s nothing quite like beheading a zombie with an axe or bashing a clown zombie in the face with a frying pan

It’s now a regular game in my playing list pushing Left 4 Dead into a dark corner. As sad as that is I don’t feel cheated, this game is a great improvement and I’m sure we’ll see Zoey and gang again soon in the next free campaign Valve are already working on.

Long live Valve

Well that’s just not on now is it?!

I’ll cook something up soon.
