There are no Easter Eggs in this program.

*back OT*

Does look rather good. A friend has played the demo and enjoyed it but doesn't find it as scary as L4D1, though he loves the new zombies.

I'm downloading and shall take a look later, although I greatly prefer L4D on the PC and will probably purchase it there if anywhere

Shame the PC demo is only accessible to pre-order customers at present or I'd be enjoying that in a flash!

Playing in daylight is unusual! Almost creepier than the original.

The musical score is amusingly adapted for a deep-south twang, the new weapons are fantastic and more 'rewarding' to play with, the melees adds not only a great level of humour but a fantastic alternative to the repetative pistol.

The new special-infected are fantastic - notably the new witch which caught me out, the charger adds a different kind of play style to the tank, the spitter is a huge HP hitter and the jockey is an unusual one which I think will be great to play in Versus

A great set of additions and alterations thus far, although not a whole new game

Left4dead 1.5


edit: one thing that immediately strikes me from the PC > 360 cross over is how few zombies there are on xbox, and how they seem to travel in more linear paths i.e. not as scrabbly/climby as if this was designed to specifically combat playing with a joypad ? Strange

Will take a look at this. Not my type of game usually but I'll give it a go as playing the first was kind of fun

I downloaded this yesterday but forgot to play it, will have to give it a try to see if it's the same level I played at the Eurogamer Expo last week
