1.1 - no..
no, i just wouldnt...the game is great, but truth be told, its just tooo little for the price.

Its not a nine by any means what so ever. We as gamers should demand much much more for 60$.

Im sorry if you dont agree, but 8.5 seems reasonable. Maybe even an 8...at least in my opinion.

I only played the demo so far but 8.5 seems reasonable. All these other scores/reviews seem to be overpriced. Maybe because it's a Valve game and reviewers like riding Valves ....?

It's short though? Glad I got mine for $44 then. Actually one of three reasons I ending up ordering it. I loved the demo and didn't plan on buying it but for $44 I figured I'd give it a shot cause the demo was a blast. $53.99 on pre-order @ amazon.com, plus $10 off for pre-ordering Fable II = $43.99 minus the $25 I won last weekend in fantasy football (another reason I ordered it) technically makes it a $18.99 game. ;)

These developers/publishers really need to stop milking us console gamers though. In a struggling PC economy they release these versions @ $40-50, sometimes less, yet release them on console for $60? It's a load of bull... If you're going to release the game on PC and only charge $50 or less at least charge us console gamers $50, not $60.

I'd give it more than that but it's ok

L4D just made my LAN parties a whole lot better. And I mean A LOT better. In fact, this is one of the greatest LAN party games ever made!

Add in a huge mountain of Red Bull, random candy bars and chips (chips are made of potatoes, which are vegetables. It's a necessary sacrifice to stay healthy) and you've got a whole weekend of fun!

And stop complaining about the graphics. No gamer cares about graphics. As long as they're fonctionnal for the type of game, it's allright.

"PC gaming is dead"

It sure isn't dead.

It's just not kicking through the doors and screaming "OOOOOYAHHHHH" anymore.

Ive stopped taking much notice of gamespot recently, tending to focus more on IGN and Eurogamer. In my opinion the general review quality at gamespot has dipped a bit in the last few months.

The PC version hasn't been reviewed yet. I'm guessing they might assign it a different score. (A 9.0, perhaps?)

I love this game.

7 - Hey first knight
I thought this was "ANOTHER AAA FOR 360 LOL IM A HAPPY 360 OWNER COZ OF THE METASCORE AND REVIEWS LOL" ???

Poor first knight, he's gonna miss this game just because it's not "AAA".

Day 1 purchase for me once I get a strong PC since I wanna run all of Valve's titles on PC. I wanna become a Steam costumer.

calm down baby ..calm down ...

8.5 is a great score ..and again ...are you forgetting ..IGN,Gamepro,Eurogamer,Edge,O XM,Gameinformer,1UP,X-Play ..all 9+ reviews?

the game only haves 15 reviews with an AVG. of 89

are you going to start saying a game is not AAA quality with only 15 reviews?

I feel bad for you

I think that games that get past 87 are AAA.Whoever said that 90 and above is the requirement for AAA should be shot and castrated

really good! ..great to know that almost every big gaming sites and mags gave the game a great score!

Edge 9
Eurogamer 9
Gameinformer 9.25
Gamepro 9
IGN 9
1 UP 91
X-play 10
OXM 95
Gamespot 85

That way we can get even more Left 4 Dead games in the not soo distant Future!

but please..next time...make the game longer..its a blast ..but wayyy too short!

10 - I like how
since GS gave it, I guess, a "low score" of 8.5, that all the PS3 fans think of GS as being credible source again. It really makes me laugh.
