Best Games for PC

In the original Left 4 Dead from Valve, developers did not use the classical concept romerovskuyu slow zombies, they failed miserably in Dead Rising. And rightly so - the players enjoyed more creative Zack Snyder and Danny Boyle, where the half-decayed bastards running around like mad, breaking the locked doors and ventilation grilles, climb on each other's head and crammed with all the cracks.

Left 4 Dead 2 - this is not the second part, and brought to mind first. The sequel is almost indistinguishable from its parent. Graphics not changed (though still looks quite nice), the gameplay is the same. Still in the center of the action - four brave heroes who miraculously saved from infection, and five campaigns.

Characters in this time turned out disparate. Team, first, was "black and white - two African-American, two Europeans (the authors acted politically correct, really - editorial note): dark-skinned girl Rochelle, tough coach, sleek and Gotham Nick Ellis. Characters colleagues on the shop floor as far as passing manifested in dialogues and cries during the skirmishes. Only now benefit from this psychological effect - as with the goat milk. No bonuses choice of a hero still does not.

Story not found the place again. And he was there to anything. In Left 4 Dead 2 in the first place there is no tearjerker, and drive. And here he is. Authors gave our brave melee weapons. You can indulge in other available means, ranging from baseball a bit, pans and samurai Katan, to axes and chainsaws. Oh, and how gracefully fly off his head from the blows zombies bits. And how are divided into chunks of their carcasses after work chainsaw! Beauty. And for ignoring the censors because the developers did a special thank you - green liquid manure instead of ketchup spattered screen would have looked just ridiculous.

Bad decorated and location. Compared with the first part they have become more diverse, there were bright card, wrapped in the midday sun. But the dead creatures, even sweet summer day can turn into ugliness. A stay you will be in the supermarket, and the amusement park "rustling oaks" (roller coasters and other entertainment there, I wish to ride will not give), and the Louisiana swamps. And still have to go through element - a powerful rainstorm.

There are new bosses who excel at their audacity "teachers". For example, the "Thunder" has a more intimidating look than the "Tank" - he prefers his huge lapischami miss hero and with all the dope beat to the ground. Adventure area "Jockey" by nature not drachliv - he jumps on the hero and, controlling his subconscious, leads into the midst of a zombie. Well, and the lady boss has certanly stomach problems, and at every opportunity if it is "sick" right on the characters, with the acid, the corrosive all around. By the way, our old acquaintances nowhere Delhi. And the "Fat Man" on the spot, and "Smoker", and others.

In Left 4 Dead 2, all received clearly and correctly. In particular, the interaction of the protagonist with his partner. In any team tactical shooter, like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, each member of the squad fighting for its survival, and he was somehow do not care for the player and his problems.

In Left 4 Dead 2 does not have to worry so much about their skin, but about the health of allies. "One in the field - not a warrior" - this saying here is very handy. Whatever you may be master mouse and keyboard, what would you have had any level of Counter-Strike, alone to cope with hordes of rabid zombies you do not succeed. In addition, all Left 4 Dead 2 will be revealed exclusively in the network walks side by side with friends.

***

Left 4 Dead 2 - apple seedless, which is great eaten alone, but much tastier - in the team. Full potential the game opens only to the four animate and real players. Buy it for the solo game is simply meaningless.

Activision Blizzard was ready to provide the creators of Modern Warfare 2 from the studio Infinity Ward fabulous sum of money is the huge budget, which saw the game industry's history. However eminent developers abandoned this "Present" and assured the moneybags of the publishing firm that the rate of their projects done on the gameplay, rather than on entertainment. What do they happen? Analysis of flights - hereafter.

"Kills one enemy - to replace him comes an even more dangerous"

Employees Infinity Ward is not miscalculated when they decided in 2007 to end, finally, with their hateful "shooter about WWII» and released Modern Warfare. Near future, steeped in terror of the country, Chechen extremists and operations in the Siberian expanse - that's what the public wants today. And yet, if you noticed, the Western and American players just baldeyut of Russia's entourage.

In the sequel to the authors developed this theme. In the role of chief villain in favor of Russian terrorists Makarov, who wants to seize the planet. We'll catch the villain in the snowy expanses of Siberia, Brazil, and the green, where the same without him in Afghanistan. It will be possible to join the detachment of an extremist and long to join him in walking through the airport.

Designers carefully traced every level - this is a children's playground, the street on which the newly peaceful strolling residents (those now scattered in panic at the sight of our company), but the football field, where it lies forgotten by someone a ball.

Standard "corridor" maps are not here, extensive location. Playing on them, you can weigh their fighting tactics - to evade the enemy "on the wing and go from the back, choose a comfortable place to attack and hide behind cover. In open terrain you mercilessly shot (the last level of complexity described as: "You are dead").

But this does not mean that the enemy AI works as a processor Terminator. Enemies hiding behind obstacles, carefully hiding their heads, quickly changing the position and possible attack in pairs. However, from time to time gives the intelligence failures - the snipers sometimes shoot "in emptiness" (program crash, when the weapon is "cuts" into the wall and the bullet goes off to nowhere), the soldiers can stand still and not move, even if we approach it a little Do not close. But where, in fact, this is not?

"Yesterday's enemies - the current recruits. Teach them to fight and pray that they do not hate you for it "

Game lacks truly memorable characters. Our companions behave like dolls for crowd scenes, as cannon fodder. But they are wonderfully animated. So realistic movements of today are unlikely to be found in any game, except MW 2. And in general, developers have paid much attention to small details, have made locating "alive".

There is no through-cards, each of them memorized. For only one level on the territory of Siberia designers should give a prize. Our ward climbing on a steep rock, falls, but manages to give him a partner's hand. Together, they creep up from behind a pair of terrorists, one takes the left, the other - right. As for "three" - shoot! Should be divided - a colleague has a supervisory position and covers, "calling out" the enemies of the sniper. The hero is guided by a heartbeat detectors (in the blizzard did not see anything on the meter forward), quickly runs through the base and laying a mine ...

His companion, not only shoots enemies, but also commented on the event. Says which side we'd better get close to the enemy. Suggests that somewhere near the car passes or passes patrol, when the case makes the enemy himself.

Varied gameplay. So we shoot from machine gun attached to the vehicle, the control snowmobile, then climbed the steep cliffs in the dead of winter, then chasing a scout, which have hurt, but not kill. And all this in the supplements to high-grade graphics and stunning special effects.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - probably the best shooter in recent years. Place on one breath, but after watching the final credits you want to return to this brutal, but beautiful world. Stronger than a single game? Look at the amazing multiplayer. Counter-Strike? Forget it! This is much more interesting!
