Spent a good part of the weekend slaughtering hordes of fast moving zombies in Left4Dead and it's sequel, moreOfTheSame part 2. I mock it a bit, but in actuality I really loved the intensity of the game play. The sequel features more of the same good stuff from the first installment, plus a smidgen of little additions that just improve the experience.
I'm particularly a big fan of the new incendiary ammo.
I'm wondering what people think of the new paradigm of 'fast-zombies' in general. This weekend I was also playing some Resident Evil 3 which is the exact opposite of L4D. It was intriguing gameplay focused around problem solving rather than pinpoint shooting. I'm going to take another crack at Resident Evil 5 on console as I had totally written it off after playing the demo on my PS3, but now I'm thinking I should return and give it a second look.
Do you have L4D 1/2? Do you have an XBox360? Do you want to play some online? If you've answered yes to all three of these AND have received an "Add Friend" from a certain LincoLn ToasT which you've subsequently ignored, you're a son-of-a-bitch.
In other news: life without contractions would suck gigantic goat balls. No, seriously.
Ok, to start, I started playing 360 on a friends box. I had an account and played all his games. Hell, I even bought a few just so I could play them on his machine. Then the dreaded day arrived. University ended and I had money that I could actually spend. Crazy, I know.
So a 360 elite with headset and 250 G hard drive came my way. A memory unit purchased to transfer my existing account from my friends box to my shiny new one. And in all my blessed new-found glory I plugged in to play Gears. I am now ready to rehash all that.
Oh Gears, how you've kept me through the years. Yes it rhymes. Deal with it. Screw poetry it's time to chainsaw things. Kyro's new to the Xbox exclusives and I plan on walking him through the magic of Dom and Marcus. Woe be to everyone not us.
