Bigger, faster, nastier - this is the apocalypse to beat

Nov 17, 2009

Unlike most other shooters, Left 4 Dead hinges on cooperative multiplayer. You and three friends must shoot, tear and slash through an unrelenting mass of raging zombies.

Oct 23, 2009

Left 4 Dead 2, Valve’s cooperative zombie shooter, has had to overcome two skeptical parties: the portion of Left 4 Dead players concerned that promised free content for the original game had been replaced with a rushed, full-price sequel, and Valve co-founder Gabe Newell. “Gabe’s got a good amount of healthy skepticism about anything we do,” says Chet Faliszek. ... » Read Full Left 4 Dead 2 preview

I apparently have the pleasure of being the first to comment post-launch.

Let me just say, this game is really fun; while it still lacks a substantial story, gameplay has been improved, and the difficulty ramped up for a variety of reasons.

Kidding. Still <3 VALVe.
Cheers!
