Left 4 Dead
Developer: Valve
Publisher: Valve
Release Date: Nov 17, 2008
From Valve (the creators of Counter-Strike, Half-Life and more) comes Left 4 Dead, a co-op action horror game for the PC and Xbox 360 that casts up to four players in an epic struggle for survival against swarming zombie hordes and terrifying mutant monsters.
Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D's survival co-op mode lets you blast a path through the infected in four unique Movies, guiding your survivors across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests in your quest to escape a devastated Ground Zero crawling with infected enemies. Each "movie" is comprised of five large maps, and can be played by one to four human players, with an emphasis on team-based strategy and objectives.
New technology dubbed "the AI Director" is used to generate a unique gameplay experience every time you play. The Director tailors the frequency and ferocity of the zombie attacks to your performance, putting you in the middle of a fast-paced, but not overwhelming, Hollywood horror movie.
* Addictive single player, co-op, and multiplayer action gameplay from the makers of Counter-Strike and Half-Life
* Versus Mode lets you compete four-on-four with friends, playing as a human trying to get rescued, or as a zombie boss monster that will stop at nothing to destroy them.
* An advanced AI director dynamically creates intense and unique experiences every time the game is played
* 20 maps, 10 weapons and unlimited possibilities in four sprawling "movies"
* Matchmaking, stats, rankings, and awards system drive collaborative play
* Designer's Commentary allows gamers to go "behind the scenes" of the game
Powered by Source and Steam

---------------------------------------------
Enough with the game specs and stuff.
Now move on to the 'feel' of the game
Generally if you play online (Better if with friends + skype), the fear of being consumed by that horde of living dead is really reduced.
I once saw one guy wimped out when a big wave appeared.
He ran back, and left the game. =.="
Other than that, graphics... hmm.
I would say great, but taxing on your computer, as the maps aren't like classic CS maps which are quickly rendered and limited to a small space, for this, it loads the whole huge map once and for all.
For this, each campaign (total of 4 campaigns) will have five huge maps.
For gameplay... play within Singapore is the best.
Cuz, if you lag (in terms of delay) in this game, its not like you see jerking allies or the usual stuff.
The enviroment runs smoothly but the delay is on you. Meaning that you can feel some delay even when you move your mouse. Bummer.
Nonetheless, good game.
Especially when you play co-op mode with friends.
But the messed up part about this game is that you have infinite bullets for handgun.
And a big bunch for your primary weapon.
120+ rounds for shotgun?
100+ for sniper rifle?
comon, gimmie a break.
Like most games, STICK TO WIN
and yes, i mean stick like gays.
especially if you play versus mode.
the moment you rambo, the hunters in the other team will target you and you will be rendered useless without help.
*tip, when a big wave is coming, just stay at a spot with small or hard entrance for the zombies, 2 infront crouching and 2 behind standing.
Shit, forgot what I really wanted to say about this.
