If you are a true hardcore PC gamer its quite possible you have heard the name Raptr tossed around the table and are curious as to what it is, how it works, and wondering if you should be using it.

Raptr is a community of gamers that share their experience gaming by how many hours and compete to get specific ranks such as Elite, and Hardcore. The Raptr software even works with Steam to collect the hours the games that it should track and monitor the total progress that you have done up to that point.
Raptr does have a point system were when you collect points you can redeem them for a ticket to a drawing Raptr gear or even Titanfall. However, the system has been receiving a lot of hate as Titanfall is 25,000 points to put that in perspective if you got the max points every day you would get the game by the time the next sequel came out.

Raptr comes with a software that allows you to add a lot of additional in-game features such as Facebook Chat, Screen Recording, and much more. You can add items to the program as well to customize it the way you want it to be. The program is tied to your Raptr account and will even count the time for games that are not on Steam. It does this by loading with the game and counting the time that you spend in it making it to were you can show off to all of your friends how “mlg pro you are” or get called a no life either one is an option.

If you haven’t used Raptr before I highly recommend giving it a shot.

Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2 is a popular apocalyptic survival game created by Valve the company behind Steam. Left 4 Dead 2 is an amazingly well built game that gives you the feel of surviving in an apocalyptic world were you are left behind. The game is very engaging and quite challenging when playing on expert level. As you play through the levels beating various types of zombies, hordes, and meeting allies you will see what it takes to play the Left 4 Dead series.

Thoughts On The Game
The game runs extremely well, and it is able to handle very well even in the middle of a zombie swarm. The game is very fun and engaging and even thrilling when its pitch black and you get jumped by a hunter. Online you can play with up to 3 other people and can even become a zombie and play against the survivors. The game has a lot of interesting game modes that are worth your time to check out, they keep you engaged and are always a nice change of pace. There are many various game modes for you to enjoy, and the modding community has been at work when it comes to writing mods for this game. They add new game modes, and a ton of features that you need to check out.


The game however, can get irritating when you are stuck in a spiral of constant failure on the same map you will probably rage at your group or at the game. Or in my case both.... On a more serious note, you need to realize that unless you have a full group you run and train with to do maps you will fail a lot. I have failed missions so many times and it has become a fact of life when playing the game. If you are on expert mode chances are you will see how much harder it is and want to quit until you get more experience.

The game is standing the test of time though and it is something you need to at least try to experience a true zombie survival game.
