Anyone else looking forward to Left 4 Dead?

It's a survival horror co-op shooter. I was feeling kinda iffy about it, but they released the intro sequence on Steam on Halloween that looked really cool:

The game itself doesn't come out until November 18. But basically, the game features a story campaign where you and three other survivors (played by other players online, hence co-op) try to escape a city full of zombies. In the absence of human players, an AI takes over for the other survivors, IIRC. Anyway the technical stuff is all here.

I'll have to wait until next year, though.

Having a Mac and PS3 means no Left 4 Dead for me.

I will eventually be getting this, but for now I am deep into Fallout 3.

I would have to buy a new PC to run something like that, but it does look good. Very good. I'm a sucker for anything zombie

looks pretty freaky. I'd do it, but then my family would starve.

I thought you were talking about the Wake Island book. Very moving account.

I played it the other day. My mate has a whole network of X-Boxes each with their own screen in a different room.
I enjoyed it, although my experience of co-op games is almost zero.

There are four characters available - The old but badassed SF Vietnam Vet, the scumbag Biker, the Feisty Chick and the white collar Black dude. So far so good.
I was voted as the Biker and because there were 3 of us the black dude, Louis, was controlled by the AI. Probably some racism going on there

Louis turned out to be a sterling member of the team however and didn't do what AI characters normally do - getting in your way and fucking stuff up. He heals you with med packs, kicks ass and takes names. Look after Louis, he's a good guy

I had considered it until i saw the price tag.
