Left 4 Dead pre-order on steam...
But at a hefty price. Valve's usual strategy of undercutting retail stores seems to have gone down the pot, as L4D can now (as of last night) be ordered on steam at a price of $44.99 + VAT ($52.86) + the ~$2 handling charge that appears on your transactions. However, you can get the game on Amazon for £25 free shipping, a mere $43 at current conversion rates, plus you get a the retail box and manual, and no download.
I think you get to play it earlier if you buy it on Steam though? Hmm.

I like the part where he baits the survivor and leaps on him :D.
Re: Left 4 Dead pre-order on steam...
Nice video, I will definitely get L4D. Am I right in thinking that if you buy it from somewhere like Play you still have to install it through Steam etc, just like HL2?
I will probably just go with the cheapest option in the end.
Re: Left 4 Dead pre-order on steam...
Hmm tough one, if i get to play a few levels a couple weeks earlier ill get it through steam but then again the price difference is quite considerable......
Choices, choices

Zombies.
Mainly it :D
But its co-op, controllable zombie bosses, clever AI, atmosphere, gameplay and lots of other reasons really.
What makes u think it looks terrible?
Re: Left 4 Dead pre-order on steam...
Also - it's made by Valve, the creaters of all my favourite games.
It's just got to be awesome :D.
Re: Left 4 Dead pre-order on steam...
It seems like a very tedious game, Not much better than zombie servers on css, plus there is the added price tag, to normal Valve games.

Re: Left 4 Dead pre-order on steam...
If I have to be honest, I'm not that hyped up about L4D. I'm with Darkdeagle to be honest, looks like they took zombie source mod, made proper zombie skins and made a full game out of it. Needless to say I won't be getting it, I'll be happy with Spore and WoW thanks.

Ya CSS :ZM and panic source are pretty damn good zombie games.
I dont know if the price tag will be worth it.
