Can I get some advice?

Kay; well here is the scenario, my gf is near me half the year, and in New Mexico the other half. She's a major gamer, and loves zombie games, so I thought a good way to keep in touch would be to buy her a Left4Dead game for her birthday this month, and we could play together online. But I'm not sure whether to get the first or second.

We both have Vistas; and while I think my laptop COULD handle it, since it can run Oblivion on full graphics without too much bad lag, I'm not sure about hers. Plus I have no job... money is scarce, and I don't know if I could afford two copies of Left 4 Dead 2. So my question is, is getting Left 4 Dead 1 still worth it? Would Left4Dead2 even be playable on a typical Vista? Thanks in advance, guys :)

If at all possible get Left 4 Dead 2.

I see the second is suggested, but my biggest concern is can a rather cheap Vista play it? I don't wanna spend 120 dollars getting us both L4D2, have it shipped five states away, only to be unable to play it. I don't know her specs, but since we're both 17, I'd imagine her money is a bit low so it would be a somewhat inexpensive Vista.

dude u're level 15, are you trolling? "A cheap vista"? ok whatever, YES buy her one of the left4dead games. Stay on the mind.

Left 4 Dead 2 is WAY better than the first one

Sorry it just sounds like fake ignorance when someone with level 15 experience describes Laptop specs as "typical Vista" "cheap Vista" "inexpensive Vista". I was under the impression that "Vista" is an operating system software, and so no actual specs were provided for us to give advice. So what do you guys think? I think "Typical Vista" will do Left4dead fine. For Left4Dead2 I think maybe you need a pretty good but not quite uber Vista.

like maybe a smidgen above "pretty good Vista". Like say a dash of salt and pepper to your steak. That should do Left4Dead2 just fine.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off offensive. I really don't know much of anything about computers, I'm getting into PC gamers, so I don't have exact specs. Anyways; I am getting the first to not take any chances, and no, I wasn't trolling. I'm just not the best with computers.

Try Killing Floor. It's a bit chearper than the L4D series, but yet I've heard it it's pretty fun.

Thanks for the advice guys; yeah, I'm sixteen; bit on the young side, but I mostly just suck at computers; something I intend to take classes on. I have my requirements and can compare em, I was only asking because I didn't know my friends. Thanks for the help guys; I'm gonna play it safe and get the first one. I'll check out Killing Floor too, definitely.
