    Left 4 Dead

    Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Nov 18, 2008

    Left 4 Dead puts players in the role of one of four survivors during a zombie apocalypse. Survivors will depend on co-operation to get from one safe house to another, while facing hordes of "Infected", four of which can be controlled by human players in certain game modes.

    I hate everyone playing this...

    ...because Wal-Mart doesn't have Left 4 Dead yet.
    Won't have it until 7am
    ...and no one else is doing a midnight release...

    ...and here I am, waiting for the zombie apocalypse to start.

    Well...I don't have a home PC, and Valve has a special Steam for game centers to use...which we don't have...because it's a $200 license per PC...and they aren't offering Left 4 Dead on it...
    My last chance is the Wal-Mart in Hewitt (we've got three Wal-Marts).  The Wal-Mart in Hewitt usually gets stock before the other two.  If they don't have it, then it's tomorrow...tomorrow...

    yep, unlocked midnight EST here :P had a crazy time on the mercy hospital roof, my god. Also, VS mode...is fucking awesome, the survivors pretty much NEVER make it out alive, and its fun as hell to fuck with them as infected, even before you yourself start doing anything.

    Oh yeah? How about those of us who can't afford it. I've got no money, no one to love, and no Left 4 Dead. I'd sell Fable II, but Gamestop decided to screw us all, and they are giving dirt and pocket lint in exchange for new titles. I was fortunate the other day, and te clerk had a canadian cent hidden in his pocket lint, so I did get some form of money for Mirror's Edge.

    As soon as that happens, I'm going to cash it in with this other Canadian penny I have, and I might make 3 cents USD.

    Really? GameCrazy is offering a $30 for a trade in of any of the new games, and some crazy deals like when you put it towards Fallout 3 or Gears 2, you can get like and extra 20% or something. But I'm trying not to sell games anymore so....

    But yeah, I'm with you BoG, I'm totally broke, and this isn't even next on my list. I want Tom Clancy's EndWar or Banjo Kazooie. ;__; Needs monies. Can we plan bank robberies on Giantbomb....?

    Eheheh, I wasn't getting anygames earlier this month, so I could buy it with a calm conscience. Actually almost calm since I should spent 0% time on videogames this month - but You know, it's not that you can do anything about your addictions ;),

    I guess when you are young you hear people say "should've" when they're speaking and they interpret that as "should of" and then write it that way when they grow up.

    .....Or maybe not. .....but ......whatever.

    I remember hearing somewhere that in England, the punctuation does go outside of parenthesis and quotation marks. Or that could be wrong...

    ....I have bills to pay AND I'm broke...but Left 4 Dead is important!!!  lol

    Got my copy at 1pm today.  All the game retailers in town (2 Gamestops, 2 Game Crazy's, and Special FX) were all pre-order copies available and only 1 on-hand copy.

    I got that on-hand copy.  =  D

    Shotgun shells:  on the table
    Health pack:  in the medicine cabinet
    Replacing busted down doors:  impossible
    The fact that I deprived someone in Waco of a copy of Left 4 Dead without a pre-order until next week, making me a cool dood for having it:  priceless

    And Snail, as I said before:

    I'm still enjoying, a lot. I don't regret getting it, either. But I'm worried that by the time I get Left 4 Dead no one will be playing it anymore due to the percieved shortage of content. I'll miss all the Bombing Runs! :*(
