Kyle LaCroix of Insert-Disc reviews the recently released Left 4 Dead 2 for the Personal Computer from Valve. The sequel to last years hit product Left 4 Dead.

The new special infected give the game a lot more variety, and keep you from using several of the cheap tricks from the first game. For instance, the new spitter will spit a large pool of acid on the ground that will do exponentially more damage as you sit in it. This helps prevent closet-sitting and spreads out the survivors a bit. The charger rushes at the survivors, grabs the first one he runs into, knocking aside the others, and starts pounding the first guy into the ground. He does a lot of damage pretty fast when he starts pounding, but you can kill him fairly fast if you have a clear shot. The jockey jumps on top of a survivor and tries to drag them away from the others into spitter goo, witches, off ledges, or into car alarms. Jockeys aren’t too difficult to kill, but if everyone else is busy, they can do some damage.
