Left 4 Dead

I've played a LOT of games in my life. When I think back over the course of my game playing carrier a few titles stand out. Final Fantasy 7, Deus Ex, Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith, ect... Games these days seem to lack something. Replay value? Originality? Witty dialog? Probably all of them.

While doggy paddling though the Ocean of crappy games these days I've latched onto one I can't get enough of Left 4 Dead. I've had it for a few months and all I can say is WOW. Even after I've played all 4 of the current Campaigns dozens of times I can't get enough. I find myself loging onto Steam to play on those lonely nights at home. Having virtually no story line doesn't bother me in this case. There really doesn't need to be a story line as long as I get to blow away hordes and hordes of Zombies.


Another thing about this game that feels so right are the weapons. The shotties don't feel useless like other games. *cough* Combat-Arms *cough* And who doesn't love Duel Pistols? I prefer the Hunting Rifle as I typically play on advanced or expert and you need power over everything else when it comes to the Boss Zombies. Being able to pick off a Smoker from 50ft away is more important than being able to mow down 15 zombies in front of you. You can always play a drum roll on your alternate fire key when in close quarters ;)


All in all I have to say Left 4 Dead is an amazing game. One of those rare gems these days. Its worth buying on PC or Xbox 360. You'll play it over and over again trying to get all the Achievements. Look me up on Steam. My ID is Pectabyte.com Go figure ;)
