I know Left 4 Dead 2 has been out for a little while now, but I didn’t pick it up on release.

No particular reason. I just had a lot of work on before Christmas and was still playing a lot of Street Fighter IV.

Anyway, I’ve finally bought it from Steam and I’m loving it. I’ve been playing games most evenings this week with my brother and an old TF2 mate.

There are a lot of reasons to love L4D2. New maps, new weapons, new special infected, new music, new characters. Well, maybe not so much the new characters. They aren’t quite as good as the old L4D mob. It could be nostalgia speaking, but I loved those guys. Ellis is my favourite out of the new bunch.

I’ve been trying to convince a couple of friends to grab a copy of Left 4 Dead 2, but I’ve not been having much success. Then I realised the other night what part of the game elevated the intensity of the Left 4 Dead experience for me, and really made L4D2 stand out.

Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present “Left 4 Dead 2 Adrenaline & Katana Brutality”

P.S. If anyone fancies a game I’m Jeemer on Steam. I don’t really play FPS games on consoles.
