B4B VS L4D2

So I’ve played a little bit of Back 4 Blood and a little bit of Left 4 Dead 2. Back 4 Blood is a spiritual successor to the Left 4 Dead series, having similar themes and gameplay. Left 4 Dead 2 is a cult classic and still stands strong to this day. But if you’re new to the four player coop zombie swarm genre of first person shooters, you might find it harder to decide which game you’d want to buy. So here’s a really basic look at both games, and which one is better. Actually I take that back.… [Continue Reading]

My Least Favourite Minecraft Enemies

I’ve been playing Minecraft more and more recently, which means there’s lots of zombies to slay. However, since I took a break from Minecraft, there’s a lot of newer features that I’m only vaguely aware of. But despite that, Minecraft is still a very familiar game that’s filled with hostile mobs that want to kill you. Some of these enemies though do annoy me, and I’d be quite happy if they didn’t exist. Drowned While I do appreciate oceans being much more lively now, there is one massive thing that bothers me: Drowned. Drowned are basically underwater zombies. They can… [Continue Reading]

Playing Dead Island with Siblings

“Medic, play games with us!” my siblings say. I don’t get asked to play games often. Most of the time, it’s to play some party game, like Gangbeasts, or perhaps the Jackbox Party Packs if there happens to be other people around. Occasionally, we’ll play something else, but it’s often brief, or filled with technical issues. Finally, we’ll properly set foot in a game, and maybe we’ll complete the whole thing. I completed Saints Row 3 for a second time with sister LilSkully and completed Borderlands 2 with brother Smeghead. Dead Island is one such game that the three of… [Continue Reading]

On Left 4 Dead and how it was all ported over

There’s something about the original Left 4 Dead game, how it still feels better than Left 4 Dead 2. But this isn’t like the feeling aabicus has with Payday 1 and 2, or Team Fortress Classic and Team Fortress 2, this is something different. The games I just mentioned, the sequels are, well, completely different. Payday 2 gets rid of old Hoxton and replaces him temporarily until you unlock the old version by saving him and is basically a whole new game, focusing more on the constant expansions than one little thing. The differences between Team Fortress Classic and Team… [Continue Reading]

Mod Showcase: Zombie Fortress

Welcome back to Mod Showcase. I’m Brickinator and today’s mod is the imaginatively titled ‘Zombie Fortress’; a game type which features the undead because everything does these days. Just as you’d expect, RED team start off as survivors and BLU are the zombies. The survivors cannot respawn but the zombies can, so there’s a constant stream of the brain-munchers throughout the match.  Luckily for the survivors, the zombies can’t use guns. But they can carry baseball bats and knives for some reason. Maybe they were armed by a Glaswegian gang or something. The classes you can play as are restricted;… [Continue Reading]
