i have just started playing it with a mate offline splitscreen and i am really enjoying it! but i think it would go better with 4 player over XBL! does it matter that i chose the 2nd chapter first? are they in order or not really?

Nah not really, each chapter has its own different setting and 'story' or whatever :p

is it really as short as the reviews say tho? i hear conflicting reports. get the impression it's like The Club...nice action but not much more.

It is "short" technically I spose. You can play through all of the levels in 4 hours, and then another 2-3 hours on Versus. But as the AI makes the game abit different everytime its (different spawns for normal and super zombies) it has a fair bit of replayability.

I'm abit disappointed with it.. but I'm still playing it, so it can't be that bad? I'm sure Valve will fix it up abit in the next month or so.

thanks pc madness, the different enemy spawns etc isn't a factor for me, don't consider that replayablitiy value. unless they got more levels coming, it sounds like a short game. then why am i so keen on getting it? must...fight..the...urge!

IMHO it's alot of fun but and the different spawns does make a huge difference every time you play it as you will have like 30 or 40 zombies rush you from an area that in previous games was completly quiet. It makes a huge difference when your in the game so you constantly have to be on your toes. It's not like they just swapped 10 zombies around into different spots, but rather the entire level flow can change potentially each time.

Anyway it's a Valve title so I'd expect them to eventually have close to double the campaigns and all that a few months down the line. They've always been terrific at giving players free updates, at least on the PC front.

Kotaku VIDEO THERE

Well, Left 4 Dead was fun while it lasted. But it appears that you're going to have to deal with some serious douchebaggery at some point during one of your versus mode romps.

Reader Mario wrote to us with a distressing tale, saying "Versus mode is a blast, but recently, I joined a game and found myself in a safehouse at the beginning of a chapter. Suddenly, about 30 witches spawned in the safehouse with me followed by two tanks." How? Console command-style hackery that can be used on the Xbox 360 version. Cute when it happens to the next guy, but probably not to you.

You can see it in action in the clip above, which will also unfortunately tell you how to do it. We're contacting Valve to see if it's taking action to address Left 4 Dead cheating.

    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.

      Why not just bring back Outlook Express at this point? It did everything I needed as a home email app.

      No we just do it manually, our contact methods are calls, chats and e-mails. Whoever is doing the e-mail task for the day, deals with the e-mail, logs the appropriate ticket, adds the reference to the source e-mail and then files it in the appropriate folder. At least that's how it's supposed to work
