I, for one, am totally disappointed in Left 4 Dead. I haven't heard a good review yet. The game takes 2 hours to beat, according to my friends, or 6 hours for an XBOX novice like myself.
You can finish it in 2 hours if you're playing on easy. Who wants to play it on easy? The game gets its replay value from playing campaigns with a group of friends, and the versus mode, where you can also play as the zombies. The single player is probably 5% of the game, tops.
Also, who gives a shit if this game has running zombies?
There's a school of the zombie purists vs the neo-zombie fans. The zombie purists are the zombies from the original Dawn of the Dead. Neo zombie fans appreciate the 28 days later zombie that is hyper aggressive and runs and jumps.
I for one prefer to think that zombies will be zombies. They will moan, stick their arms out, and let me push them down with a cricket bat.
I don't tend to read anything too critical on games regarding fans or critics as gamers are such a fickle bunch of frazzled fooforalla's.
All the dudes I play Counter Strike with and all the dudes I play Cod4 with are gushing on the game. We'll see...

That's all I'm saying for now. More to come in my review.
