OK, we have all melted away a few hours sitting at our computer doing something like this. You look up and you realized you have wasted a couple of hours looking at pictures of potatoes shaped like William Shattner. What? Don't tell me you haven't. Well I have been sucked into a game that just rips your time away from you, throughs it off a building, grabs you by the neck and growls "who needs sleep anyway" Your only response? "Please sir, may I have another"

I am speaking of the Game of the Year - Left 4 Dead. Katie got it for me for Christmas. This title is from Valve, creator of what may be the best computer game of all time - HalfLife. The difference between these digital gems and games that are "good" or "fun" is hard to pin down. Suffice it to say, when you get all the pieces just right, the final product is more than the sum of it's parts.

If you want an idea of what the game is like go here and click on the middle movie, it's the opening sequence to the game.

I am hoping to grow out of this whole gaming thing some day, until then; I'll keep looking for that next health pack and staying up way too late.
