At least until an overserved cast member shows up to lower the brow a bit.

Eat the rich!

Lowered Expectations 15: Back 4 Blood (Apparently Literally)
Back 4 Blood dropped with plans to turn nostalgia into sales, but was this FPS out of Turlte Rock studios able to recapture the Left 4 Dead magic for a bunch of dudes who gave Noam Chomsky the ride of his life a decade ago? We give our verdict in the first half this month. Afterwards we take turns chatting about games past we think deserver a proper reboot, which things about gaming trigger us the most, and games we expected to love but wound up hating.
