Bought this a while back but never got around to giving it a good go. Should have waited I guess.  lol

Bought it dirt cheap some months ago. Nice vibe, but it quickly becomes repetitive.
Then again, maybe the apocalypse is nothing more than trying to survive by doing the same things over and over... :?

next question is how do we all team up to kill kill kill the living dead.

Well, you and I are contrariwise for time zones, no doubt, but you guys can add me on Steam: Smedley D. Butler

I'm usually playing TF2 more than L4D and as zizi says, it can get repetitive after many playthroughs, but it's been a while and I could do with some L4D. Versus mode is a good way of extending the game's life, but you really gotta get 6-8 players together for that.

I'm keen If other people are for team games. In nz so time is pretty bad for those elsewhere. Especially since I only game at night when my little ones are in bed. Usually about 8:30pm here for me.

Which, coincidentally is the time now... What a  I doing here, see ya lol

I can be found online any time of the day or night (not really an insomniac, but lots of troubles when it comes to a good rest  :-[)
TF2 is ofcourse much more fun than L4D2, however, I haven't been on Steam much lately since I became a World of Tanks addict  ;D
Anywho, if any LAF'er wants to add me to their friends list : I'm da.ver on Steam and zz666 on WoT  :)

whats world of tanks like?

As stated : addictve. You don't need to throw money at it to have a good game, well, at least not in the lower tiers (nce you start researching and acquiring high tier tanks it tends to eat your resources)
There's lots of movies on youtube that will give you an idea of the gameplay

another question is this download PC only or can you download an Xbox version? I have an xbox but have never been bothered to hook it up to the net. If I can get this for xbox I might actually do it.

There is a button for Xbox 360 on their site. Now come over to the dark side  >:D

One of the few games where I almosted pissed my pants. One could argue that it's repetitive, but it really isn't. Sure, the boss fights are always at the same spot, and so is the trigger spots. But with random enemies and gear, it does have a variation to it :) And I still find it to be one of the more lovelier moments of my gaming life when I played it with my mates :) All screaming like freightened gifls every other five minutes or so ;)
I'm on the 360.

For German (and, I think, Austrailian?) players, remember that the version you buy on Steam will be severly cut, with a lot of gore effects missing, bodies disappear and never get dismembered, no burning infected are visible,and son on. On the plus side, you get one or two weapons that no other version has :D
If you want the uncut version, you have to ask a steam user from another country to gift the game to your account, this way you'll get exactly the same version he/she uses.

WOT - yay I have been playing for nearly 2 years now, in the DR_UK clan.  The only money I have spent was on a T34 premium tank but managed to get a "good" rating overall with 23,000 battles under my belt.  Let me know if you want to join a clan.

Nope, although I have been thinking of it as I heard it's extremely realistic.
