The Left 4 Dead demo was released on Live Tuesday night, so I decided to give it a try. I was definitely curious about this game, as it’s a zombie game and it’s by Valve (Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Portal, etc.). I tried out the second hardest difficulty setting in the game, Advanced, just to see how it would all play out.

The game has a certain Counter-Strike feel to it, as it runs on a modified Counter-Strike Source engine and you pick up weapons similar to what you’d find in Counter-Strike like pistols, SMGs, shotguns, and assault rifles. I didn’t bother to try playing it online as I figured playing with AI would save me the hassle of dealing with uncooperative kids.
