Valve to Debut Left 4 Dead on Xbox 360 at PAX

August 12, 2008 7:35 PM

In keeping with Valve's plan to take its co-op zombie shooter Left 4 Dead on tour before its November release, the company today announced that it will be making several appearances at upcoming industry events.

Curious survivors can check out Left 4 Dead at the Leipzig Games Convention (Germany), Festival du Jeu Video (France), and PC Gamer Showdown (UK). The company also noted that the worldwide premiere of the Xbox 360 version will take place at the upcoming Penny Arcade Expo. "The shared experience of Left 4 Dead is unlike that of any other action game," said Valve president Gabe Newell. "That's what we've experienced playing the game, and from showing the game to the press and our partners.

"It sounds cliche, but in many ways you have to play this one to truly appreciate what we're attempting. So, to give gamers a chance to sample this new type of experience first hand, we're taking Left 4 Dead on the road."

Yeah, Gabe's right. The game really is a lot more fun in action than it seems from the screenshots and such. Games like Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 look like they'll be a ton of fun, and they were in a highly controlled and/or "this will be fun when I get it home and it has a ton of potential" way when I played them at E3. But Left 4 Dead was different - it was fun as hell right from the start - maybe it's because it was one of few teamplay-oriented action games at E3.
