Left 4 Dead is a new action title from Valve, creators of the Counter-Strike and Half-Life games, that promises to redefine the co-operative genre as those titles did for multiplayer and single-player action games.
Set in a modern day survival-horror universe, the co-operative gameplay of Left 4 Dead casts four "Survivors" in an epic struggle against hordes of swarming zombies and terrifying "Boss Infected" mutants.
The Survivor Co-op Game Mode is played out across four sprawling campaigns, set in urban and rural environments. Each campaign has an over-riding team objective, and is comprised of five large maps. The campaigns link together to tell the story of the Survivor's escape to safety. The team of four Survivors may be comprised of 1 to 4 human players, allowing for single-player and multiplayer co-op games.
Next generation A.I. technology powers all non-player Survivor and zombie characters. This is facilitated by the A.I. Director, a pool of systems used to procedurally generate a unique experience by monitoring the players' experiences and tailoring the pacing and difficulty of action for each game. This makes for a different experience each time the game is played.
In Left 4 Dead's Vs. Mode players may play as a Survivor or as one of four types of Boss Infected. Each of the Boss Infected possesses an exceptional mutant ability - such as a 50-foot tongue lasso (Smoker) or a giant belly full of explosive methane gas (Boome) - instead of traditional firearms.

Little more then a rail shooter. But at least it's fun.

Pant-fillingly scary. And then you play it in 3D...

Simply put - I can't play this game if I'm the only person in the house. It's that good.
It's basically 28 Days Later, but interactive. I bought the game because of recommendations and because it's supposed to be particularly good with nVidia's new Geforce 3D Vision setup.
It is.
I can't describe just how scary the effect of zombies running around in 3D, jumping out at you is. It's just something you'll have to try; you actually find yourself screaming out loud! The 3D effect is practically flawless, and immersive in a way that I have never experienced in a computer game before. I don't think I'm good enough to play online just yet, but the few forrays I've had have been immensely good fun and there's a real sense of camaraderie with your 3 human companions. I can see some serious long-term appeal in this setup. This is a "must have" game. Period.
Awesome zombie fun

This game is awesome, The online play makes it even more fun to play on simply due to the fact that you can have pro's and rookies playing together, instead of npc AI's, Horde/survivers, and to be totaly fair the online play is alot more fun then the single player. As below. Yeah we could do with some more weapons(6-7 weapons ingame.) You get achievements for doing certain things, I.E online player(double jump as a hunter onto two targets.) it's a good game for all, and online play never lets you down, unless the people playing with you are not that good :P.
