Xbox 360

Valve and EA just put online the demo of Left 4 Dead on the Marketplace. I'll capture a video now, and here's a few images to start with.
Update: Gameplay video added.

Wow, the source engine is beginning to look really outdated. So little detail and poor textures.

I'll agree that after almost 5 years it's time for Valve to come up with a new engine (HL2:EP3 will probably be the last Source release for them).. But I'll also wait to judge L4D on graphics after I've seen and played the PC version, because just like the Source engine the current consoles are also starting to show their age (compared to PC)..

Maybe so but it still doesn't take away the fact that the game is bloody loads of fun, even better with a m+k/b :)

Already pre-ordered mine and cant wait, so much potential this game has, what with the modding scene etc.

Ugh, another Gold-only demo? Could you guys please start putting that in the news topic, or does MS have a new demo policy I'm not aware of? I hate having to unhook the PS3 every time this happens only to find out I can't even download the thing.

You wont say that when you actually play it and see 50 zombies running at you, yes running, not limping like most zombies we know and love/hate :D

But it has to be said, this is a game that is meant for the PC :)
Not because its an fps, it just feels better in front of your computer monitor, with headphones on, late at night with a beer or whatever on the desk :)

I believe it's a 7 day wait before you can download any demos if you just have the silver account.

Sorry but the PC as it is now blows the 360 into a pile of poop, still a fairly decent console though ya hear ;)

If you can afford one. My PC as it is now is put to shame by the original Xbox.

It's pretty good fun but the tech looks very dated and really should be retired. I also found the fish eye field of view pretty distracting and made it all look even worse.
