GameDaily: Left 4 Dead: Crash Course Review

GameDaily writes: "Unless something inconceivable happens, zombies will never go out of style. People love reading about them (World War Z), watching them die (Zombieland) and blowing them to pieces in Left 4 Dead, Valve's first person shooter where players team up to outlast hordes of undead. Although a sequel debuts November 17th, the publisher continues to support the original with this week's downloadable Crash Course update, available on both Xbox Live for 560 Marketplace Points ($7) and the PC for the low price of free. Bizarre price discrepancy aside, it's a decent update featuring more the same. That's both good and bad, depending on which platform you prefer".

After the huge backlash from the those that were outraged by a sequel coming out soo soon that Valve have the nerve to charge for the 360 version...Microsoft once said they have to charge for content on the marketplace well that is a lie because there is free content on the marketplace like content for games, themes and pics.

Pandamobile5327d ago

DLC pricing is Microsoft's decision. How many times do you people have to be told this. Valve fought hard to get it priced at 560 points. MS would have had it at 800 if they could.

Well, if I didn;t already have Crash Course, I'd definitaly pick it up for 320 MS Points. Not too bothered about The Maw though, to be honest.

Bubbles_Kitty_Cat5134d ago

The Maw is a great game.

It is pretty short with little replay value, though, so I would only recommend buying it when it goes on sale.

I got it for $5 a while back and it was totally worth it.
A nice change of pace from the games that I usually play.

So Left 4 Dead 2 will be on PS3 from the sounds of it.
Great news, Maybe they can do a proper game pack like Orange Box, with new titles on it properly ported. I would love to get both L4D 1 and 2 on 1 disc.

hs1235177d ago

because of left 4 dead series i was about to get a xbox but now i don't think i need it anymore, maybe if natal turns out to be good i might consider it

VileAndVicious5177d ago

Dude I have the original Left 4 dead on my 360. But Left 4 dead 2 sucks. Which was a damn shame because I really wanted to like the sequel

Vicophine5177d ago

Sounds like L4D/2 on PS3 this Fall is confirmed.

LtSkittles5177d ago

Yeah, he confirms it "This all gets back to something we've been trying to clarify. So people know we were going to come out this Fall [with Left 4 Dead] on the PS3. We mean it - I wasn't lying."

Biggest5177d ago

So Valve plans to grace us idiots with an old game for full price? Why thank you!

redsquad5177d ago

Not interested in L4D 1 or 2 - The next Half Life episode, on the other hand.... Make it happen please!

A Survivor's Last Memoirs: L4D Add-on Campaigns

A piece showcasing the best custom Left 4 Dead campaigns interspersed with humorous sections in the character of the Vietnam War veteran Bill: "When they broke the news that we were deploying to Vienna, I didn't expect the damn 3 hour tour. I mean, it's the apocalypse – not some damn skirmish on hamburger hill, and all Zoey could think about was shopping at some fancy foreign department store."
