    This game is SICK!!!!

    This game, like I said in the title, is super sick!   There is no wait period, no epilogue, no training map.  it just throws you into the action.  And apart from the needed break here and there, the action doesn't stop. 

    Normal difficulty doesn't seem so hard at first, but there will always be a situation that arises mid-way through a map, that will have you wondering if they somehow bumped up the skill level at some point without telling you.  When someone gets tackled by a hunter, and you have to go save them, its easy.  When that same guy gets tackled right at the beginning of a flood of zombies, it gets tough.  And if more than one guy goes down in the middle of a fight, it feels insurmountable to get things back on their feet.  Its phenomenal!

    The controls feel prefect.  Many FPSs fail when the developer tries to do to much at once.  This game build on a very successful platform, and simplifies it to unadulterated goodness. 

    I would consider this game perfect, but i feel like may leave me wanting for more once i have done all the story lines.  Plus I am sure they could have given it just a smidgen of depth more.  Otherwise, it truly a game that will give anyone loads of fun for hours on end.  A game that anyone can pickup at anytime, and enjoy fully.

      Left 4 Dead: BOOM! Headshot! 0

      Short and to the Point Left 4 Dead By: mrhankey To be honest, I recently have found it hard to get very excited over a game. Seriously, Fallout 3 was, well, meh. Spore, became frustrating towards the end. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky I haven’t touched since I bought it a month ago. Then Crysis Warhead, well I beat it and that’s that. So what game caused me to ignore my schoolwork and even my girlfriend at times, you guessed, the Zombie-Apocalypse survival game: Left 4 Dead. The Good: -AI Director,...
