I've read a little about this game in EGM. It sounds pretty awesome, and I can't wait. Can't remember though... is it supposed to be coming on any of the consoles, or just strictly pc?

Thanks Danny, appreciate the digging! 'Cause as soon as I amass some more wealth, I plan on purchasing a 360... and at some point, a PS3.

Left 4 Dead Zombie Photo Contest


Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (Steam and Source), today announced a Zombie Photo Contest that ties into the $10 million marketing campaign for its upcoming Xbox 360 and PC thriller, Left 4 Dead. The contest challenges gamers to take a creative photograph of themselves in front of one of the outdoor media placements in London, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area. Contest rules and submission guidelines can be found at http://www.L4D.com/contest . All entries will be reviewed and judged by Gabe Newell, president and founder of Valve.

The top 25 entrants will win a free copy of Left 4 Dead, and the overall winner will receive a new gaming PC from AMD. "Working with Gibson Media to infect buses, train stations, highways and city streets in many major metropolitan areas in the US and UK has been a tremendous contribution to the game's pre-launch momentum," said Doug Lombardi, vice president of marketing at Valve. "Pre-orders are now running 95% over those of The Orange Box, and we're getting set to launch the pre-release demo and television campaign to further fuel this momentum."

Left 4 Dead is the new survival action game from Valve that blends the social entertainment experience of multiplayer games such as Counter-Strike and Team Fortress with the dramatic, narrative experience made popular in single player action game classics such as the Half-Life series of games. Playable in single player, co-operative, and multiplayer modes, Left 4 Dead is one of the most anticipated releases of 2008 and winner of numerous pre-launch awards, including Best of E3 from multiple outlets. Left 4 Dead is due for release on the Xbox 360 and PC on November 18 in North America and November 21 in the rest of the world.

Alrighty then... so I've had Left 4 Dead for a few months now, and I tell ya' I still play it! It is the BEST zombie game I've played thus far. Still waiting to play some Resident Evil 5 mind you, but so far, this beats any zombie game out there, hands down... in my opinion of course. But wait, what's this? Just today I obtained Left 4 Dead 2! Yeah, I know both these games are old by now, but they're new to me! I played through the first campaign, and I gotta' say, it's AWESOME! I love the new levels, love the new characters (especially Ellis... what a redneck physco! Love it!), new weapons, and love the new infected. Great game overall... and I can't wait to get online to download the new stuff... including a level where the new characters meet up with the old ones! How cool is that?!

Now, the gameplay is pretty much the same thing, so you're not getting a new experience, just new levels, weapons, and infected. But hey, if it 'ain't broke, don't fix it! It's a good motto to be sure. If you liked the first one, you'll enjoy the second one. Now, get out there and kill some infected!!!
