OXM UK writes: "If we had to bet our money one sleeper hit that's sneaking up on unsuspecting Xbox 360 audience this year, it's Left 4 Dead.
Which is ironic because sneaking is the last thing it does. Despite featuring zombies and being loosely thrown into the survival-horror genre alongside flat-footed compadres Silent Hill and Resident Evil, Left 4 Dead is one of the fastest, craziest games you will ever play.
With a speed more in line with classic PC shooters like Quake or Unreal, zombies relentlessly charge at you from all angles as you have to fight for survival, praying that last shotgun blast wasn't your last before you have to reload and healing injured team-mates while they fend off the advancing horde. It's chaotic, it's messy and its unwavering sense of fun will make you feel giddy and giggly.
At the recent EA Games Showcase event, we caught up with Valve's Doug Lombardi while games journalists in the background whoop, holler and screech their way through the latest level being shown off."
