After last week’s release of Left 4 Dead 2’s “The Passing”, a couple of us here at rgb have had a chance to run through it and give our impressions. If you haven’t heard of it yet, “The Passing” is a new campaign for L4D2 that not only adds a missing episode between “Dead Center” and “Dark Carnival”.

After some minor delays, the PC version of the Left 4 Dead 2 demo was finally available yesterday evening to those who’ve pre-orderd the game. The Xbox 360 demo was also available, it’ll be another week or more before it’s available for those who haven’t pre-ordered.

Some of the points mentioned in here were originally made by Dr. Squid during gameplay. Right off the…
