  Left 4 Dead 2.

  Four new heroes, same old zombies. Left 4 Dead 2 was the game I've looking forward to all year. After playing for several days I can say it has its strong and weak points.

  For one thing there are more campaigns, but the problem is that some of them are short. New weapons including melee are fun to use. Especially the chainsaw. Controls, graphics, and sound are all great too.

  But honestly, this one is much more frustrating than the first one. I can play through the campaigns in the first Left 4 Dead without dying. In Left 4 Dead 2 you can easily die at least four or five times. While this doesn't sound like a big deal, it's just that when you die you have to start again at the last checkpoint, and you have to cover all that ground all over again.

  But still, this is a great game. If you liked the first Left 4 Dead then you'll definitely like the sequel.

  Veterans Day.

  Today we thank all those who have fought for our country, and to those who have fought and paid with the ultimate sacrifice. My Grandfather was in the Army Corps of Engineers during World War II, and thankfully he made it back home. I had a Great-Grandfather who fought in World War I too, but since it was such a long time ago, I don't know much else about him.

  A big thanks to all those who are serving on the battlefront now. We should also remember those who were killed at Fort Hood a few days ago. For none of them deserved to die like that.

  Movie Recommendation #27.

  Since it's Halloween, here's a cult classic horror film you should check out.

  Movie: The Evil Dead, 1981.

  Plot: Five friends are making their way through the Tennessee wilderness to a small cabin they've rented for a vacation from college. Once at the cabin, the group settles in and are looking forward to having a great time together. Upon exploring the cabin, the group discovers a strange book, and a tape recorder from the previous occupant. Turning on the tape recorder, the previous occupant was apparently an archaeologist that had discovered an ancient relic called "The Book of the Dead." Out of curiosity and fascination, the group continues to listen to the recording. The archaeologist begins to recite a passage from the book, which awakens the demons and evil within mankind's domain. The evil spirits begin to slowly pick off members of the group one by one through demonic possession. Those who are still human are now in a fight for their lives, and must find a way to escape the cabin before it's too late.

  One of the most creative, shocking and suspenseful films ever conceived, The Evil Dead launched the careers of director Sam Raimi, and actor Bruce Campbell. The Evil Dead was later followed by two sequels (Evil Dead II, 1987 and Army of Darkness, 1993) that also received critical acclaim. Whether you like horror movies or not, The Evil Dead is terrifying adventure with lots of action and gore to keep you asking for more.
