Left 4 Dead

[[AK]Bribo]

I played L4D with my son Joe tonight. What a blast! Must buy for anyone who likes the zombie genre and a fast action, team based FPS. Need more AK to pick this up!

"The game's deep well of replayability clinches Left 4 Dead's spot on the list of best multiplayer games of the year. It's arguably one of the best multiplayer games of all time. I'm longing to end writing this review and play some more. The game is as pretty as it is playable. Well, it's pretty in its ugliness, with dirty, dark visual effects and gorgeous, understated design. "

Xbox360?

Are they still making those XBox toys? I figured the Pentium III technology in them would be tapped out by now.

Okay, admittedly they have a PowerPC of some sort in them ... but the flashing Red Circle of Doom is common enough that I'm not going to buy one. For a Valve game, PC is the best anyway.

Xbox360?

No. If your PC can play Half Life 2 reasonably well then you'll be fine with L4D.

I played the demo for this several nights last week and has a blast. I'll be picking this one up come pay-day...............

4 player co-op zombie slaying ???? Nuff said !

I'm reasonably certain I'll get it in a day or two.

As a side note, is the marketing blitz everywhere or just here in Seattle? For years, Valve was located about eight blocks down the street from my house. (They might've moved across Lake Washington now.)

Anyway, it seems like every other billboard in town has L4D on it. I even saw a L4D billboard truck driving around town a couple days ago and some girls were handing out flyers in Pike Place Market last weekend.

Could it be that those guys are just pumping up their ego by plastering L4D stuff all over town?

Although I haven't seen billboards and such, I have seen commercials on Discovery and Spike for L4D.
