Left 4 Dead 2

I just got done playing it for the first time this morning. New weapons, better graphics, new critters. Lots of fun.

The demo, right? The full version doesn't get unlocked until tonight (depending on your timezone)

I played the 360 and the PC versions for the review, and they both work really well.

Personally I'd say that the PC has the edge, as the graphics are a bit sharper - plus you get the benefit of a keyboard and mouse. On the other hand, the 36 version is probably easier with regards to match-making. And naturally, you don't have to worry about specs, optimisation etc.

The bottom line is that it's a great game, whichever platform you're on.

Now all someone has to do is make a dedicated gaming machine that runs faster than most gaming machines, is cheaper and has a mouse and keyboard. I tried but was never able to get used to a controller. Tiny little joysticks just don't have the same precision as a mouse.

Lets hope the Aussie censors don't learn about the naked Zoey version of L4D. You better download that version Jag before the Church Lady has it banned.
