Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing DLC

Based on my review of Left 4 Dead 2, you would be right to assume that I was pretty geeked for the recently released DLC pack dubbed “The Passing.” Now that the wait is over was my excitement justified? Yes.

Left 4 Dead Too; or How Zombies Party Down South

The good: The addition of new special infected, melee weapons, new survivors, improved director, tons of game modes and five all-new campaigns means this is clearly the best zombie game out there and one you’ll be playing well into next year.

The bad: The combination of an improved director, smarter zombie AI, and dumbed down survivor AI this game can be downright brutal at times.

The decision: Buy Buy Buy!! Left 4 Dead 2 is improved in every way while maintaining the vision of the original Left 4 Dead. All in all, if you’re looking for a zombie game, look no further than Left 4 Dead 2.

Left 4 Dead 2; or How AI Will Bring About the Zombie Apocalypse

The good: probably the best zombie game out there (including the original); great new multiplayer modes and new content should keep the hunger for brains going strong.

The bad: the survivor AI will annoy you (if for no other reason than the zombie AI is so much improved); some old problems cling on from the last iteration like the jockey on a survivor.

The decision: Buy—just make sure you have friends that keep the same hours as you.
