Default Left 4 Dead

Hey Yall,

Anyone playing Left 4 Dead???

Is an FPS about 4 peeps who are immune to a virus that turns people into zombies. Single player or 4 player online co-op.

Is good fun, play it with the volume turned up and in the dark, arrrggghhhhhhh.

Gets a bit repetitive after about 2 hours, so back to Fallout 3.

Am off work for a few days due my Missus bringing home dieseases from school (she's a teacher) and infecting me. Oh well guess i will just have lie on the settee playing games all day, yawn.

Oh hang on, brraaaaiiiiiiinnsss.

Yeah i have had it. It is good but seemed a little too short.

Only thing that would keep me interested would be the multiplayer

Have been playing it a few days now.

Verdict: Fun, but kinda monotonous.

You shot one zombie, you shot 'em all.

This should not have been a full priced game, it's worth fifteen quid at most.

This observation of mine does not detract from the fun factor though, even if the whole thing is one dimensional.

Pretty fun when you play it online with your mates. Took a while to get good at this game though and some parts like the witch didn't really make so much sense.

As for Quantum of solace love it. I am stuck on a certain level at the moment though.
