Left 4 Dead
$29.99
Left 4 Dead, is a great game. There are so many first person shooter games in the world being played (multiplayer) and i have to say I was once addicted to modern warfare...well now things have changed.

positives: The game is very addictive, and fun, its fun to help out teammates, i think thats something valve has accomplished is the expectation of living is keeping your teammates alive. Other fps games like call of duty modern warfare, you really dont care that much how another person is doing or what their health status is because the game itself doesnt give you those details. In other fps games you are on your own and if you decide to help out a teammate that is up to you. In left 4 dead, it is manditory that you work as a team in order to win, and I think thats what makes a great multiplayer game successful is the good gameplay mixed with teamwork.

negatives: The campaign is a mixture of "sigh" and "meh" because the campaign is so repetitive, there is no actual storyline and the game doesnt really take you from beginning to start, you can kind of decide what levels you want to begin and end.The graphics are not the greatest or best, but that shouldnt be an issue because in the end gameplay dominates graphics. The zombies or "infected" they call them are not really that scary or intimidating. This is a plus for me because I dont want to be totally scared when im playing a game. I do however think that the cartoonyness of the zombies is unique. I think if valve had gone f.e.a.r, silent hill or DOOM on gamers, people would be frightfully scared to play the game. That is just a personal preference though as I have played games like f.e.a.r., silent hill series and have never gone back!I figure people have so much crap in their life why add more? Another thing is the bots. The bots are really boring to play with, they are in a way lifeless, but I have to give credit to valve on trying because i know it is not always easy to create a.i.

Overall left 4 dead is a great multiplayer game. The game has 4 options. Survival. Versus.Co-op.Single player.
The majority of the time you spend with this game will probably be versus or survival. I was skeptical at first because i always look at the graphics in a game, which is not important, and turned out to be that left 4 dead could end up being the greatest multiplayer game this year.(thats counting out gears of war,call of duty, halo, etc). Go ahead and pick up your copy today, you will not regret it.

Left to Tell (EasyRead Large Bold Edition): Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
$20.99
A close family member is heading off to Rwanda soon and I have been reading lots of horrifying books about the 1994 genocide of Hutus against Tutsis. Immaculee Ilibagiza's memoir, "Left to Tell" is another painful and frightening look at the genocide, told by one whose life was spared almost reluctantly by her Hutu pastor. Immaculee's story begins on the bucolic shores of Rwanda's beautiful Lake Kivu. Her father and mother are teachers and community leaders who have raised a loving family in a modest home. When the genocide approaches, the family and many of their Tutsi neighbors are caught flatfooted and unawares. Soon they are engulfed in a swirl of ethnic hatred and madness that is unimaginable. Immaculee finds her way to her pastor's home and is hidden, along with several other women and girls, in a tiny bathroom. For several months, they remaining in their unlikely sanctuary, while drug-crazed killers roam the countryside and ransack the house looking for Tutsi "cockroaches" to slaughter.

In her torment and isolation, Immaculee finds refuge in her Catholic faith and in constant prayer. A modern-day St. Anthony, she is tempted toward hatred, revenge and doubt by voices she attributes to the devil. Saved by God, she believes, when hundreds of thousands of her countrymen have been systematically murdered, she clings to faith, hope and forgiveness.

"Left to Tell" is a beautiful story of faith in the face of incomprehensible evil. It seems to have become a soothing balm to Western readers who share Immaculee's faith, if not her heroism and inner strength. I find this a bit problematic, since it was the abandonment of the Tutsis by we Western powers that allowed the genocide to continue. One can honestly ask whether a little more backbone on the part of the "civilized" world would have counted as much as Immaculee's many prayers or personal deliverance. As such, her book serves as a misdirected balm to our guilty consciences.

But given the other choices at our disposal when faced with mindless human horror -- madness, bitterness, despair, grief and vengeance -- Immaculee's choice of hope and forgiveness seems not only sane, but exemplary. "Left to Tell" is a testament to the strength that faith, applied appropriately, brings to the human spirit, enabling it to survive hatred and betrayal, even unto death.

Includes many pictures of Immaculee's family and friends, before and after the genocide.

Left 4 Dead - Game of the Year Edition
$29.99
After reading some reviews about how good this game was I decided to rent it and play it with some friends of mine.
We started by playing 4 player story mode. For the most part, it was fun because one of my friends is a bit jumpy. But after about 20 minutes of playing, it just got repetitive. I thought to myself, "Wasn't I already here?" After 30 minutes of playing we all stopped because all you do in the game is kill zombies. There's no plot, no real dialogue, and nothing really stood out to me. This game isn't at all challenging because you never run out of ammo unless you never stop shooting throughout a level.
Graphics: I thought the game looked like an Xbox original or PS2 game. And there are very little different zombies models. For example, you may see the woman with medium length dark brown hair maybe 4-8 times.
Guns: There is very little gun variety in this game. I think there are maybe 6 guns. And the guns all shoot the same. Shooting a zombie from far away would have the same result as if you shot it with a pistol or even a sniper. The game feels very sloppy and thrown together.
Multiplayer: The multiplayer is pretty fun but not great. The first day I played I was on for a few hours but after that I found it to be, like the story mode, repetitive.
Overall: I wouldn't recommend it for purchase but for rental it would be okay. Hopefully the sequel will be improved.

Left Handed Guitar Package SX RST BK Left w/GA1065
$300.00
I really like this bundle. The guitar maybe cheap in price but its good in quality. All around this bundle is great for the price and for beginners. The sellers were really great also. Paid for 3-day shipping and got it in two. The amp is decent in sound. This guitar will last me a couple of months while I learn how to play and then I'll buy an upgrade and probably sell it to a friend or family member.
