Zero Punctuation takes on Left 4 Dead

by Richard Mitchell { Dec 11th 2008 at 6:30PM }

As a general rule of thumb, if you really like a particular game -- and if you're easily riled -- it's a good idea not to watch the Zero Punctuation review of said game. And yet, here we are. We have something of a crush on around Fanboy Towers and it was with some trepidation that we watched Left 4 DeadZero Punctuation's review. As it turns out, Yahtzee doesn't completely dismember the game, though he doesn't outright praise it either. More or less the review outlines what most have said. The co-op is fun, the level selection is a bit limited but overall the game is well designed. The verdict: it's up to you to guage whether or not the fun to be had in Left 4 Dead is worth the price of admission.

Check out the review after the break (as usual, the video contains some language that is NSFW).

I would play it online, the demo was good with that.. but I always seem to get idiots on my teams.. even one claiming to not know how even to play the game... team killers.. screachy kids..

Yeah, that is why I only will play multiplayer if I have known friends to play with. I do not like doing the random teammate thing much.

Momer @ Dec 11th 2008 7:51PM

I lol'd. Amazing video as usual.

I wonder what x3fs criteria for posting these reviews. I mean, why L4D? They did not show Fable or fallout or any of these other games. Just curious. He comes out with them weekly it seems. Here they are: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation

Kotaku used to make a post for each one but they stopped posting about it all a few weeks ago :|

Eric, do you even have a clue as to what you're saying?

Because no one else does.

"Left 4 Dead pwns this game hands down"

Uh, it's Left 4 Dead that's being discussed.

Seriously, get your stuff in order, buddy!

DBoyFlex @ Dec 11th 2008 10:17PM

Ok, ah, L4D pawns L4D? Are you an idiot? Stop trying to push your red light fix crap. If you are going to post, make the comment somewhat applicable and stop trying to push your stupid crap on us.

Eric, you know if you change your username to redlightxbox360.com, it would actually be slightly less spammy than your shenanigans are now.

samurai jr @ Dec 12th 2008 12:06AM

$100 bucks! Wow I'm sorry. I don't even know how that happened. Honestly I want the game but it seems like something I can wait to drop in price for at a used game shop

Tony @ Dec 12th 2008 3:33AM

Er... Australian Dollars?

Boff @ Dec 12th 2008 5:57AM

Indeed they are

I really enjoy zero punctuations reviews he always makes you stop and think wait a minute this guy is right he just emphasizes the flaws in a game to an incredibly high amount. A fantastic watch again.

This guy is still around? I haven't seen one of his vids in a long time, ever since the hype surrounding him faded away. With this vid, it seems he slowed down the speed at with he throws criticism and curse words out. But, the content was lacking.
