by Jon Cole in Games811 days ago

This week’s Joystiq podcast starts with Assassin’s Creed 2, which Justin immediately declares is his game of the year for 2009.  Ludwig says that it roped him in immediately and he loves the way that gameplay mechanics are wrapped so well around the plot. In a complete turnaround, Chris and Justin talk about their experiences with Left 4 Dead 2, which were decidedly bad due to the more sparse checkpoints, larger maps, and more devious AI.  They come to the conclusion that the game just isn’t that great because it’s too difficult to be...
