Anyways I am going to put up some new games for you guys and what you think of em.

Here we have a Game that is similar to Resident Evil in one way and one way only. You have to survive a Zombie outbreak. The story is as follows. The city is dead. And everyone is infected or somehow killed. The entire City has lost its population except 4 very lucky survivors of the crisis. They find one another and form a group of Survivalists. They are armed to the teeth and have one goal. Make it out of the City alive!
Setting & Levels
Gameplay takes place in urban cities, small hamlets, wooded rural settings, shopping malls and other such locations. Four players take control of the four main characters of the game, "The Survivors", who subsequently play through the levels fighting off the Infected, which are humans who have been infected with a mutated form of rabies. Each level has the players fighting towards a goal, such as escaping by helicopter. (The helicopter has to be called in by radio. During the final wait for rescue, players must face a final onslaught of the infected.) [2]
There will be four scenarios with around five maps each in the first release of Left 4 Dead.
Damage, Dying & Checkpoints
Check points also provide a re-spawn point for downed Survivors. As long as one Survivor manages to reach a check point, the others will appear again on the map in closets or in other "trapped" situations. Survivors don't die instantly from too much damage, however. They are first knocked down, but can continue to fire with their pistols until helped by another Survivor. Movement speed is affected by injuries, slowing damaged Survivors down until they are helped by health kits or pain medications. Left 4 Dead will have full friendly fire that can't be switched off. This keeps the challenge of the game up.
Playing as the Infected
Four subsequent players can join the server and take control of the larger, more powerful Infected with unique abilities amongst the other AI Infected. Since only one Boomer, one Smoker and two Hunters are allowed at any one time, players have to select their preferred Infected and wait for it to spawn. Players can also control the tank, but it's only spawned a few times during each scenario. A special alert gives Infected players the option to start playing as the Tank when it does spawn.
The infected have the ability to see survivors through the walls at a certain range if the survivors are running, with the flashlight on, or talking. Otherwise, Survivors are not visible through walls. The Infected can also see in the dark, unlike the Survivors.
If a player playing an infected dies in less than about 3 seconds after spawning he/she is immediately respawned. Infected spawn in front of the Survivors and can, if they stay still, see a marker for their likely path of advance so they can set up ambushes.
Throughout levels, Infected-only ways up buildings are marked with symbols. These can be climbed and used for ambushes, especially with the Infected immunity to falling damage.
Team Coordination & Communication
The Survivors can communicate by automated voice commands that are accessed by quick menus. They will also sound off automatically when doing such things as reloading or spotting Infected. Over 1000 unique lines have been recorded for each Survivor.
The Survivors
There are four playable human characters in the game, each with a different and unique appearance to make it easier to identify which character you are looking at when you aren't close enough to recognize the face. Each player is randomly assigned a character when they join the server and, to prevent arguments, each character has the same abilities and may use the same weapons.
Survivors will also be able to see each other through walls as colored outlines to make it easier to find each other.
-Francis Barrels
The tattoo-covered biker.
-Zoey Coen
The teenage daughter of a wealthy family.
-Bill Calhoun
A Vietnam veteran with combat skills that have helped keep him alive.
-Louis Parker
An assistant manager at a local retail electronics chain store.
Weapons
The main weapons in Left 4 Dead are divided into two tiers. The first is available to everyone when the scenario starts. Weapons in the second tier can be found throughout the maps and at the end of the scenario, just before the final fight. All weapons can be used to bash Infected with in close combat, pushing them back. The weapons have been said to resemble those of Counter Strike Source, but with increased recoil. There is no information on the amount of ammo that is given to the players when they acquire each of these guns, as well as if there is a way to distribute them to other team mates.
The Infected
The Infected are Left 4 Dead's name for what are essentially zombies. The zombies in the game are based on the zombies (who are ordinary civilians that are infected with a form of rabies, making them ravenous and psychotic) from the 2002 film 28 Days Later, which the game takes a lot from design-wise.[3] The zombies, as opposed to the slow, shuffling types associated with Night of the Living Dead or Half-Life, are fast and can pounce, creating quite a formidable foe. They will however go down with a well-placed gunshot, meaning they can be dealt with easily on their own, but in great numbers are difficult to handle. In addition, there are five mutated Infected who have their own special abilities and are more powerful than the regular Infected.
Anyways so this game will be a fun as hell shooter. Thankfully Capcom isn't involved in the production! And we will be spending more time shooting dead zombie instead of spending 3 hours searching for some Key to unlock a door *Cough 'Resident Evil' Cough*. Alos if your looking to have a fun mulitiplayer experience, you should really try and get this one!
Left 4 Dead is going to hit stores in the US Summer 2007 while we in Europe have to wit a bit more, and I gotta get some one to get a copy for me and send it!
