Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2 is a pretty fun game on its own. What’s even cooler about it, however, is that its rules are flexible enough to allow for multiple methods of play: in the same way that Far Cry 2 lends itself to permadeath runthroughs and Ikaruga allows for dot-eating as a strategy, so too does Left 4 Dead 2 allow for…

…Well, this.

I dunno if anyone will seriously try to play the game in the way Ash and I suggest in this week’s episode, but it could be interesting to find out. If nothing else, I can now claim that I have designed or co-designed three different games, even though one is only sort-of a game and “Left 4 Friendz” is only a reworking of the rules of an existing game and I don’t actually know if it’s any fun or not but you shut the hell up, because I’ve designed three games.

If you like the video, you might also consider listening to our podcast or getting our DVD. We’ve got shirts, too.

Christmas is just around the corner. That’s all I’m saying.
