Left 4 Dead is fantastic. There will never be another game so dependent upon co-op play, or one that's so damn fun with co-op play. I spent the whole night a couple of days ago playing Left 4 Dead with some friends. We stayed up all night beating that damn game, and we had a phenomenol time together doing it. people could sit by the TV, and when asked why they weren't bored, they'd say 'it's like watching Dawn of the Dead.' Not only do the little touches with the movie posters create that sensation, but the pacing accomplishes this as well. Suspense is constant, and you're frequently freaking out. It's a game that grabs you powerfully and doesn't let go, despite its weak story.

so anyway, I like that game quite a lot, and now I'm chilling in DC for Thanksgiving, and when I get home I need to wrap up college apps due Monday and then get back to beating Left 4 Dead on some more challening difficulty settings.
