Again the lengthy version of my musings is on me games computer games blog.

I've been finding my enjoyment again, and it's not been by buying some latest greatest new title - it's been by digging through my collection and knocking dust off something old before firing it up. Namely Left 4 Dead 2, it's got some really fun multi player games and it's overall an incredibly polished product. The production isn't what makes it though - it's the design of the game mechanics. The whole concept was built around the focus of 'co-operative fun' and that shines though when you play it.

I ought to fire up LA Noire some time too, it's been sitting on the shelf since June, having hardly scratched the surface of it... Partly because I think I'm genuinely rubbish at it - all the questioning people and identifying clues and stuf... Well, maybe I'll get better at it once I've played a bit longer...

It's good to be back, and it's actually nice to have a sort of 'gaming focus' namely the Left 4 Dead 2 Scavenger Mode and Expert Realism...

Left 4 Dead 2 is awesome, really good game. If you enjoyed that you may like the recent Dead Island, that is a great game. Also if your not good as L.A. Noire I recommend using a guide, don't feel bad about using a guide, there very helpful.

Bleh I can't even imagine playing LA noire

What a garbage ass game

Outside of AE and Marvel 3, I haven't sunk any significant time into a game in a while, but I recently started playing New Vegas again. I only put 16 hours in on the first playthrough before I realized I was burnt out on Fallout when it came out. Now that I've had some time separated from Fallout 3, I've put about 52 hours in and love every minute.

I gave up on LA Noire during the boxing case. Not because it was bad, but because I was pretty much done with the game after the huge climax of the previous act. I might get back into it someday though.
