Pardon My Dust (On Many Levels)

Changes to happen at 53tabs.

Left 4 Dead Review

Left 4 Dead
Platform: PC, Xbox 360

Zombies. Lots of Zombies. Throw in an excellent AI engine to spawn hoards of them, and four player co-op to sweeten the deal and you’d better fetch a change of underwear because you’re going to need them. Left 4 Dead is finally here, and we take a look to see if it lives up to the expectations.
