Just when I thought that I wanted Left 4 Dead enough as it was, our dear tipster, Joe Burling, dropped an atomic bomb in my lap -- in the form of a 10 minute video podcast from PC Gamer. For the non-laggy version you can get the full video here. Although about 50% of the video is just footage of some guys playing the game (which frustrated the hell out of the Reverend and I), we think the other half more than makes up for it. If you haven't heard about this game yet, let me catch you up in a refresher course.

One of the things that set this game apart from the competition is talk about how there are supposedly no triggers in the game at all. It has a "director" which evaluates the situation and decides when and where to release zombies.  Thanks to this little detail, you can play the same level 100 times and never have the same experience. It also has four player story co-op and the multiplayer portion will let you choose between a human or group of zombies. If your head didn't explode after viewing the video, and you're still hungry for more information on Left 4 Dead, you'll find it here.

[Thanks Joe "should we just credit you for everything?" Burling]

This game is gonna kick more ass than Chris Benoit. That was probably too soon. Anyway, the stress that co-op has been getting in the past few years is awesome, and its only gonna get better. Army of Two, Kane and Lynch, that new Battlefield game, the unconfirmed but likely Halo 3 four player co-op, its all coming up roses.

I completely suck at FPS games, but I'm so getting this one. My apologies in advance to anyone unfortunate enough to get stuck on my team.

It makes me happy because I was there. I watched people play it too, at the end after the guy got off the bull the two people standing there are my friends and I laughed.

This game honestly looks like THE multi-player zombie survival game that I have been waiting for since the first Resident Evil.

If you guys need something to hold you guys until Left4Dead comes out check out Zombie Master, it is a mod for Half Life 2 and it is great fun. Plus you have more that 4 people play as survivors.

People of destructiod, you should advertise this game like that Insurgency game!!!
