The picture on the front of the box is so reminiscent of the disaster, with the stormy seas, the oil rig and an overall sense of doom. I was just knocked over by how relevant this game is, despite being made some 35 years ago, to BP’s troubles today.

  • NEW! Plants vs. Zombies stuff!!

    • ]]>     Left 4 Dead is a zombie shoot ‘em up, LOTS of zombies, LOTS of  shooting.  I think it may be a little one dimensional, but its good for killing (no pun) time.  I’m hoping for a little more depth in the sequel, and maybe some better zombie sniping levels.  The trailer is out, and the graphics are looking good!
