bluegargantuaHi,
Stayed up way too late last night playing through most of Left 4 Dead 2.
SO AWESOME!
Everything you loved about the first game turned up to 12. Everything kinda meh about the last game (and there wasn't much), just hacked off and gone.
And, you guys, it's HARD. We had 3 humans for most of last night. We got clobbered a couple of times and even when we won it was all by the skin of our teeth. All the new weapon options are more than offset by the new specials (the Spitter is especially insidious -- the acid goo can quickly separate parties). There were lots of great new challenges to get past rather than the simple "hold your ground" crescendo moments of the first game.
So...yeah, just fantastic.
