Finished the first two campaigns of Left 4 Dead 2 and got to the finale of the third, which is INSANELY FUCKING HARD! At one point we were fighting two tanks, a hunter and a bunch of common infected off, only to be thrown off a balcony in four different directions.

Valve do such a good job of making sure you're always on your toes while encouraging team work. I've only played with strangers and it's remarkable how everyone looks out for each other, which is just as well because the special infected seem to be using strategies together too.

So far I'm liking the characters, aside from Rochelle, who doesn't have much of a personality. Building them up through chatter rather than cutscenes is a nice touch. It all seems much more varied too, particularly those finales (don't read any reviews) and the new mix of weapons.

If anyone's playing it on the PC let me know, my ID is tonythesuperperson or just click the link in my sig.

Would I need to play the first game to understand the 2nd? Or does does part 2 give a quick recap, or is it a standalone from the first one?

I'd reccomend renting the first one, playing the bare minimum of content required to access the story missions, and blowing through the game in a weekend to get all the plot. The plot is pretty well done, and if you skip most of the optional content, the actual missions are still fun and you can beat it pretty quick. The optional content was bland and repetative though. They improved the optional content alot in the second one though, making it actually fun to do and stuff.

AC was very good game, it just dragged on too much in some sessions, but that made the quests more realistic.

I wasn't big on the first Assassin's Creed but they really seem to have fixed all the problems for the sequel.

Speaking of sequels, I'm loving Left 4 Dead 2, It's equal parts intense, satisfying and hilarious. I've finished all the campaigns except the last one - we got within five steps of the final rescue helicopter when a team of special infected absolutely demolished us.

CHEAP GAME TIME!

Direct 2 Drive have an awesome pack of Armed and Dangerous, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, LOOM and Lucidity on sale for $25!
