Don't think I'll be about tomorrow night as it's my Mum's birthday.
Must download the demo tonight though, looks fun

hmmm... seems the Steam download is actually only 372MB, not 3.2GB as it suggests when you start it.

Plays a lot more frantically, and a lot smoother than I was expecting. I could see it being great as a 4-player co-op game, but, much like I find with other Valve games, it just seems to lack *something* in Single Player.

To be honest, it was never designed as a single player I don't think, the main focus has always been multiplayer, all the big announcements have been MP related.
The single player is there, I suspect, because it was easy to tack on. There are only 7 levels I think. edit - I just went on wiki to look for something about it and it barely even mentions that it has a single player function at all

Apparently they have 'increased AI', but it's quite obvious all they've done is make it so you travel through your team mates so that they don't trap you in a doorway a la Half-Life 2

Woah, this is running at 1680x1050, with most settings on high, 2xAA etc. smooth as a babies bum, on a 3500+/8800GS machine. Well played Source.
I was expecting it to run like a bag of spanners in all honesty, very impressed at the performance especially for a 3 year old PC with a £45 graphics card upgrade. Who said PC gaming was expensive?

I've been holding off any commitment as I'm coming down with some obligatory change of season lurgi that's only getting worse tonight.
Hopefully I'll be fit and gay again for the weekend when I'd love to join you all as some zombie's main course.
