Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead is a suvrival horror game created by Valve. Funny thing is that zombies come after you, screaming and shouting. It's up for you to survive the hords of zombies.
I played the demo just a few minutes ago, and it's really awesome and creepy. I think this will be a big hit online.
Anybody played it yet?

I think it's playable as long as you want. You should really try it out

I played it already and IMO it is pretty much fun. A few moments later I considered to buy it, so now I have only to wait for the release on STEAM (pre-load is already complete) to play the full version ASAP.

I'm thinking on buying the Valve Complete Pack, which includes the Orange Box, Left 4 dead, counter strike source, half-life+expansions+some MODs, and more

It cost 70'11€, but it's worthy. And today it's the release(at least in my country), so this friday I'll be buying it!!

And on the videos look realy interesting!

Well, the full valve box is a bit too much for me, cause I have most games (CSS is S MUCH fun online with the zombiemod), but I think I will pick this one up someday...

It's good fun in LAN, but otherwise I wouldn't bother with this. It is rather short game as well.

Feels to me more like a well made mod or expansion than any real game. Horror in this game fails IMO.

it is not that much about horror, but about teamplay and surviving - versus mod is great one

had a weird problem with it... when everything was on high if i looked to the sides the whole game slowed down... anyone have any idea what could cause that?! i don't want to bother testing which setting i should leave at Low (8800GTX, Core 2 processor).

Try setting shaders to low/medium.

This game rocks insanely. I though it would be short too, but thats the only game I was playing for last 2 month and Im not even closely bored with it.

I don't really get it. All the game does is shooting zombies. No matter how much one can argue about the in-depth strategy, heavy teamwork requirements bla bla bla.. it's still about crazy people running towards you like they never heard a gun before.

When I played with my friends, struggling to stay alive till the next level, to the next safe house, the next safe house, the next safe house, the next safe house... then the last stand till rescue arrives, then the game ends. Like that. Fullstop. No more endings, we're working our asses off keeping ourselves together, then it just ends like that, which at that point I felt kinda pointless.

Maybe it is just me, but I wouldn't rate a game 'rocks insanely' when I feel I'm running around in circles with no major accomplishment. The game focuses heavily on teamwork and keeping each others' asses alive, but no beginnings, no endings. No good memories to remember, cause we're just doing pretty much the same thing, taking the same positions, waiting those infected bringing their asses over.

Sure, this game kills time for me, but I wouldn't stay on it for more than 3 hours till I just get bored of shooting.

The whole competetive thing is just AWESOME. Sure you run around and kill hords of zombies. But the fact that there are stronger creatures lurking (controlled by other players) is awesome. It really keeps me excited!

No, it was the multicore rendering... now it work fine with everything else at max.

This game is a mega crap and one of the most overrated games I've ever played. All you can do is run around from one safehouse to another, demolish hundreds of zombies, one tank and several bombers in your way, reach the next safehouse and repeat the same process like 30 times, just in a slightly different environment.

Gotta side with artur on this one...I wouldn't say it's mega crap, just not impressive and not worth the high marks it got.

One of the most overrated game? Somehow Counter-Strike comes to mind...

Ever heard of the Counter Strike Zombie Mod...

Asheera wanted to say that Counter-Strike is crap even despite its rating
