GamingExcellence described it this way:
You’re trapped on a rooftop, zombies are everywhere and you’re running low on ammo. Welcome to Left 4 Dead.
I should probably get this out of the way right now: I truly believe Left 4 Dead is the greatest cooperative multiplayer experience to date. This game is getting the full monty, the legendary 5 out of 5, one hundred percent, as perfect as a game can possibly get in this day and age. I’m saying this here in the first paragraph so that you can stop looking at reviews and just go get the game already.
Left 4 Dead is well reviewed (89 at metacritic), and looks like this:
F.E.A.R. 2 / PC – $17.50
GameStop is offering F.E.A.R 2 as a downloadable for $17.50.
Part shooter and part thriller, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin wraps a web of conspiracies and cover-ups around an experimental military paranormal program gone horribly wrong. Each of these pieces plays a part in developer Monolith’s master plan to unsettle your psyche, overload your senses with disturbing imagery, and then let you unleash the pent-up tension with a satisfying pull of the trigger. It works; so well in fact that, depending on your constitution, a break may be in order at times just to let your heart rate recover. That blurring of the line between game and reality reflects how well the design potential of the original F.E.A.R. matured into a polished follow-up.
After you’ve settled into F.E.A.R. 2’s groove (it does feel somewhat different to the majority of shooters out there), you’ll find you won’t want to leave. There’s a certain blood-stained beauty in storming into a room, clocking four armed guys, activating slow mo, lobbing in a grenade, taking out three of them with stunning shots to the head from a close range shotgun, and then watching as the last is obliterated by the explosion. It’s combat that never gets old and is more or less unrivalled. In full flow F.E.A.R. 2 looks and sounds brilliant too, bettering the original in every way, but it is a step below the very best looking games available.
