I get the feeling I would feel more at home in the zombie apocalypse. You may get your face eating my ravaging monsters but hey, at least I wouldn't have to socialize with them.
Great review by the way Yahtzee. It is kind of a bummer when you review a game with very little down points. You should really give GoW2 a try.
EDIT: What the hell! I changed my avatar yesterday!

it's lovely to see ZP actually (and shamelessly) enjoying something - seriously, it was like a DREAM COME TRUE to see you ripping into Mirror's Edge in the last ZP, but this week you were Left4Dead's gaming *****. And if the jaded gaming public ever tires of headshots (unlikely) there's always PS3'S downloadable FLOWER [http://mikephilbin.blogspot.com/2008/12/ps3-flower-thatgamecompany.html] to while away the drug-slowed hours.
Yes, Yahtzee did enjoy L4D.
And when he likes something, it means I like something.
Because we are both pessimistic bastards. Well, at least I am.
And if I like something, this means it's ZOMGWTH good. If you like* same games as I do, which means most of the FPS, MMOs (except for some korean ones), RPGs, RTS games and so on.
* Like - tolerate. Or just "not-hate".
By the way, Yahtzee, you are not the only one who pays ungodly amount of money for games. Come to Poland, I know it's at least twice as expensive here as it is in Spain :/

My bro got on everyone's nerves who played the demo days by taking control, calling those who didn't do things correctly "morons". Yeah Gosah or whatever your calling yourself these days bro, like 3 perfect strangers are going to listen to YOU.FarleShadow said:
He never brought the full version in the end...
Guess he got fed up with that he was "Left 4 Dead" too much.
Hooray Firefly reference!
On a more serious note (in order to avoid the Ban Hammer) having played the demo I completely agree with Yatzee on this one. The gameplay is repetitive but oddly compelling, especially when you are playing with others.

I look forward to the day he reviews Duke Nukem Forever, but a valve game that takes years to make is just as good!
Good lord, I thought I was going to die when the black guy's head was replaced with a picture of Obama. Very funny Yahtzee.
I did not play the full game, just the demo, and I can't exactly put my finger on it, but something seems a bit off about the game to me. Part of me thinks it was almost too fast paced. It seems like there are about a million ways potentially to go and no clear direction about where you are in fact supposed to go. I actually found the aiming/shooting controls to be a bit dodgy when considered against the ridiculous speed with which the zombies come after you.
Then again, I loved HL2, which is pretty similar. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I played it longer (that sort of reminds of the ad for the pop radio station in GTAIII, "we'll pick the music you're going to like and then we'll play it until you like it").

I had actually almost forgotten about this game. This review was great and now I'm gonna have to rent this.
That's one thing that always got me though, Yahtzee always complains about the price of video games where he is, is there no where to rent something or does it take longer than the rental place allows anyone to have something to get enough information for a review?
I wish he'd review "Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon", there's so much stuff that doesn't quite work right in that game.

I got the biggest laugh from the Firefly and World of Warcraft references, but I'm not sure if it's in spite of or because of the fact that I'm a big fan of both.
