The Dead Will Walk the Earth

If anyone one of you frequents the main page of the Steam store, you'll probably have noticed that they had a weekend (now extended til' tuesday) sale on Left 4 Dead, the zombie outbreak/survival/shootfest of the century. If not for all time, there haven't been too many zombie shooter games before that I know of.
I decided that this would be the time to take the full version out for a spin, and I definetly don't regret the purchase. Though I haven't even played the campaign online with friends yet, it's so worth the money. I tried co-op briefly at my brother's though, and it was great fun.
And it's actually sort of creepy, especially the witches. Somehow, I always manage to startle them, and they hunt me down and nearly beat the shit out of my ass. Fucking witches.

I also got ahold of FEAR 2. Hell yeah! Being the collectorist-whore that I am (whoa-hey, a new word!), I purchased the Limited Edition, of course. Comes in a nice, fancy steelbook case. And the game is great as well, of course. It hasn't managed to properly scare me yet, but the feeling of suspense and mystery is great. It's so well-made that it almost annoys me, in a good way, of course.

Ah well, that's all for now. I guess the next post will be in around next month. If I continue this monthly posting, I'm just two posts away from the blog's first anniversary. Not that anyone cares, but I just noticed.

Until next time; get smarter, game more!

P.S. Oh yeah, new logo design. Just temporary, but the color scheme is a bit more neutral to ye olde eyeballs now. Hope you like it!
