Thriller When I held a six-pack of soda as an impromptu melee weapon, I knew Left 4 Dead 2 would treat me well. Clutching Cokes, my teammates and I were fleeing the Save 4 Less mini-mart we'd busted into moments before, and the damn alarm was acting as the dinner bell for dozens of lurching unpeople. This wasn't our idea of a good time, but we owed a parched gunshop owner a favour: he'd let us walk away with whatever shotguns, laser-sighted assault rifles and high-calibre pistols our 'Use' keys would let us carry. So I trotted on, gunless, wondering if too many melee attacks would over-carbonate the bottles, yelling at my teammates to cover my ass on the most insane, ill-advised escort mission ever.... read more
If you played the first Game with friends it was full of water cooler moments, and the beauty was you get a different epxperience everytime you played it.
Im expecting better from the sequel and by all accounts it looks like Valve have succeeded (and to think they still have doubters ) in making the 2nd Game even better.
Only problem is, this or AC2? Think I might be trading in MW2 and picking them both up ! _________________ Gaming since 1992. God do I feel old.
This will be the first time ever that I'll be buying two games on 1 release day
L4D2 will be amazing...unfortunately all my friends are waiting till christmas; Cheap B*****ds[/quote]
I think i will be joining you in buying in both lotusexcelsa, completed MW2 and most of Spec Opps, but dont last 2 minutes online so will trading that in on Friday and using it towards L4D2 and AC2.

I suppose the beauty of L4D is the fact that you don't have to worry about the usual online annoyances, such as snipers and campers because you are all just working together against the hordes of undead.
I'm not a massive fan of online, but I can see the attraction of a game like this, especially if you have loads of mates on LIVE.
Enjoy. _________________ Has anybody got a cabbage patch?

I'm probably trading in MW2 - started playing the campaign again on harder difficulty and it's just the bloody same except you die quicker. Just phoned game and they'll give me £30 trade in, so I'm actually making money! Don't know about Gamestation, Blockbuster etc though.
Getting Muramasa instead of AC2 though! I can't wait for L4D2 (although £45 at Game seems steep), although I haven't played Crash Course as much as I thought I would.
Played the demo and I absolutely loved it. I didn't buy the previous game but I've played the demo and Left 4 Dead 2 just feels so much better. So, I'll definitely be getting this.
Good review. _________________ There are many conflicting legends as to whether or not the Hero of Oakvale killed the Guildmaster. It's said that the words, "Your health is low" were carved into his forehead.
Played the demo, and was very impressed - much better graphics and the special zombies are awesome. I didn't really play the first one online much, it's better to play when you're sat next to your mates. It annoys me slightly that for the sake of a new weapon type, some new levels and 4 new characters they couldn't have patched it into the original L4D. I'd much rather be able to mix and match the new levels, characters and weapons with the old ones on one game than have two separate ones, no matter how good they both are... meh, who cares, I'll probably still end up buying this! _________________ You take the blue pill, the story ends.

I played the 1st one to death and after trying the demo this just seems way to similar. I will buy it but during one of steams half price deals. Im in no hurry
I have only just got my mates to buy the first one as it's cheap. So I'll be badgering them to get this one too. Double the fun with 4 player co-op campaigns.
I got my copy today. The useless bastards at Tesco Direct didn't dispatch the game until today so I took an early lunch and went and picked it up from Blockbuster.
i had high hope's for this game but i must say it is almost unplayable offline because the a.i is the most pathetic i've ever seen i cant count how many time's they have just stopped moving and let the zombies simply kill them or stood right beside me while i got killed by a hunter or charger valve are more or less saying f**k anyone who play's offline rather than playing with guys who run off solo and die and the level design for most of the mission's is just not good enough.valve are so proud of their director a.i after two playthough's it become's obvious where everything will be placed and enemy's spawn,a few new guns and some weak ass infected not to mention still some of the worst server's around aint enough the 1st game is better the a.i is not half as pathetic and its a more closed quarter's game which make's it abit more tense and way more fun than having all the space you need to take down the now much slower tank's
