About Me




I have followed Destructoid since its infancy but never really got involved too much with the community, so I figured why not now?

I've been playing games since I was a wee lad. My first system was the NES. My parents were the ones to get me into them. They loved playing video games when I was younger. They were big fans of Contra. They still know the Konami code to this day. Video games have been an integral part of my life. I put in about 20+ hours a week and I love playing co-op games with my girlfriend.

Apart from video games, I love music. I've sang (screamed/growled) for a few metal and deathcore bands that went nowhere. I have a few tattoos. One on my right arm, right shoulder and one piece that covers the left portion of my chest, collar bone, shoulder, arm and back. It's still a work in progress.

I currently own an Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and PC. I used to own a plethora of consoles but I've since then traded or sold them. My room mate is the one who collects system. We still have a working NES in the living room and Ninja Gaiden is still in my opinion one of the hardest games ever.

Quick Review: Left 4 Dead 2
CorpseGrinder | 2:43 PM on 12.03.2009 5 comments


Hacking apart zombies limb from fucking limb as a man in a tuxedo is the fucking win. I can't help but pretend that I'm Patrick Bateman from American Psycho as I take a fireaxe to a zombie's face. "TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD! YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!" Pure win.

Left 4 Dead 2 is a decent improvement over the first. Which was also a fantastic game. However it was mostly the same mechanics. Which of course isn't a bad thing. There's a lot of replay value to be had with multiplayer and the different modes. Realism mode is fucking merciless. An excellent challenge to those that think they're the shit.

There are a lot of new things in L4D2. New characters, new guns, the addition of melee weapons, 5 new campaigns with 4-5 chapters each, new special infected and new game modes.

I'm down with that.

8.5 / 10

I thought L4D2 was quite a goTHIS APPLICATION HAS CRASHED: C++ RUNTIME ERROR, THE APPLICATION HAS REQUESTED IT BE TERMINATED IN AN IRREGULAR MANNER


Ahem, yeah. I've had ONE successful full match, and that was against a clan of dickheads.

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately that's one of the problems with PC Gaming. There are thousands of different configurations. There's bound to be compatibility problems.

Yeah, what I've played of it so far, I'd agree with your 8.5 though. Sounds about right. I think my graphics drivers are messing me around at the minute, but another game (which I'm not allowed to say :<) works fine, and that's a beast on power since it's a beta...

L4D2 is fantastic, nice short review.

@Jon B - I haven't heard of that problem! Are there more who have the same problem? I've been playing the game for over 40 hours with no blips whatsoever.
