Abstract: Left 4 Dead is a great multiplayer shooter with many elements that you won’t find in any other shooter this year. The co-op experience is unrivaled and the dynamic AI is an excellent design choice. While more maps would’ve been nice, Left 4 Dead is sti...
Bottomline: I played for hours. I played with all the survivor characters. I have to say that this game is one of the best I have ever played as far as detail and creature A.I. The monsters never do the same thing twice, and you never know what is going to hap...
Bottomline: Finally we come down to it: What is the best value in a video card right now, for Left 4 Dead? As much as we hate to sound like a broken record, we must give credit where credit is due, so we have to give the nod to the original, 192-shader NVIDIA GeFo...
Abstract: Platforms: PC, Xbox 360 - PC version reviewed Please dont gasp with mock-amazement as I let out the years biggest non-surprise: Left 4 Dead is absolutely brilliant. After Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2 and Portal, weve co...
Good: Looks amazing, Features the most juicy headshots out there, Incredibly scalable, Best co-op action, hands down, Exemplary level design, Great gun physics
Bad: No server browser, Matchmaking is inadequate, Too few Campaigns
Bottomline: This brings us to the matchmaking system, which is incredibly flawed. The biggest flaw the game sports is the fact that theres no server browser like those in any other multiplayer game. All matchmaking is done randomly, and unless you invite friends ...

Abstract: The zombie apocalypse. Be honest: Youve thought about it. When most humans have been turned into shambling, flesh-hungry monsters, how will you fare? Whether you fancy yourself an intrepid survivor or an infected savage, Left 4 Dead is the game for yo...
Good: Dynamic enemy placement make each playthrough different, Tight controls and welltuned guns, Stiff challenge makes survival difficult and thrilling, Versus mode expertly turns the tables, Killing survivors is as fun as killing zombies (if not more so).

Good: The Source engine still looks great, The sound design, from the zombies to the guns, serves the game beautifully, The game may seem short at first, but youll be sucked into the varied experiences you have every time you play, Co-op is an underrated wa...
Bad: 20 levels? It could still use a few more, It would have been nice to have more variety in weapons. A rocket-launcher, maybe? Some melee weapons?, Servers can still be a bit glitchy, Environments could feel a little more alive, many areas in the game se...
Bottomline: Left 4 Dead was a game that was made with love; who in this day and age wou
