Recently, we were dropped some screens for the Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead. Instead of the typical stuff like zombies eating people or people shooting zombies, it was a batch of screens showing off the game’s amazing UI. Feel free to stare infinitely into the beauty that is Left 4 Dead’s menus.
This marks the first time an Xbox 360 game has actually incorporated menus. Since the console’s launch, many 360 enthusiasts have complained about putting in command lines to start games, hop on Xbox Live, and even pick items out of inventories. With this title, Valve is doing more than setting the bar with survival/horror titles. The company is attempting to change the way every developer has approached game design since the great Martian revolt of 2002.
How this dramatic method will effect the industry is unknown, but one can easily see how it could possibly benefit the user. Left 4 Dead will be available in stores on November 17.

Also, PC for me.
What are these, these "Men-you's" that you speak of?
... What?
After looking at the screens, one nice thing is that they have an in-game Achievement menu, so you don't have to open up the blade and get taken out of the experience just to check Achievements. I loved it in The Orange Box, I don't see why other people don't do this more.
Stop being a troll, dick.
