I planned a whole post on Left 4 Dead, but I haven't gotten to writing it in early 2009 and some time later I considered that all that there was to write on the subject had already been written. This may or may not be true, I recently had a relapse of Left 4 Dead (two weeks spent playing) and I think that for me it is the best game of 2008, hence I might get to post a word or two on it here. What I planned to add to the post, however, was this:
The reason I have decided to publish the above animation right now and without the aforementioned note is trivial - the sequel to the movie appeared in the wake of the game sequel. Oddly enough, while Left 4 Dead 2 seems to have improved on its predecessor in many ways, according to quasi-unanimous voice of game reviewers, the second animation is definitely less funny, which is the reason why I only link to it, instead of embedding.
As for Left 4 Dead 2 itself, I will wait for it to go down with its price a bit - 50EUR ( about 70USD) is a bit too expensive for a game in my book.
