    Everything in moderation

    Zombietastic

    It’s funny, a few weeks ago I played Half-Life 2 through to the end for the first time, mostly because I was feeling unwell and had nothing better to do.  More recently, I’ve found myself playing a lot of Left4Dead the newer Zombie flick styled...
