Left 4 Dead gets a release date: Zombie murder scheduled for November 4 photo

Ladies and gentlemen, the long wait is nearly over. We finally have a release date for the eagerly anticipated co-op zombie shooter Left 4 Dead. The Turtle Rock Studios FPS has been driving gamers to breaking point with the excruciating wait, but we now know that Valve will be spilling the title like so many undead entrails on November 4.

Due for the PC and the Xbox 360, Left 4 Dead allows players to work together and fight against waves of "infected," or take each other on as humans and zombies in a competitive environment. In short, it's a zombie fan's wet dream, and it can't come quickly enough for many people.

Just a few more months, friends. Just a few more.

Precisely what I was thinking, bbrigg1. :) But any possible delay wouldn't worry me, Valve releases games when they are done.

I'm not waiting on the edge of my seat for this one, probably because I have heard next to nothing about it, but the Orange Box has made me a Valve fanboy for life so I have a feeling they will make it awesome. Always better to go in with little expectations I find.

I'm kinda bummed they didn't push it 5 days earlier to release on Halloween, even if it is a Friday. :)

It's almost 2 am. I've been laying in bed thinking about this game for over an hour now. I can't go to sleep because this game has me by the balls.

I believe this game will be the sleeper hit of the holiday season. I'll be picking my copy up on Nov 4th. I might even take the day off work. :)
