People really like survival horror games. According to Valve, pre-orders of Left 4 Dead are outperforming Orange Box’s numbers by over 65 percent at this point pre-launch. The big question is, how many pre-orders is that exactly? Valve is remaining mum on that subject, but according to our number crunching gremlins, over 65% of Orange Box presales means “a lot.”
The percentage speaks to the hype surrounding the game and it seems quite valid. This summer at E3, Nick Chester and Anthony Burch were able to play a four-player cooperative session of the game. Even though the presentation was only five minutes, Nick seemed fairly impressed. He said the game was “Really, really awesome. Mind-blowingly awesome. Disgustingly rad.”
How many of you have contributed to pre-order tally of this title? Do you think it will deserve a place above Orange Box?
