oh Gamespot... You've gotta be kidding me!

News new news.......

1) Left 4 Dead has finally been reviewed by Gamespot:)

2) Gamespot gives it a 8.5 rating.. not fair imo. it deserves a 9.0 or higher:shock:

3) The version reviewed is the X360 one.:x typical GS, eh ?

4) The video review posted must be having only the 360 footage. :evil:

5) The PC version has NOT been reviewed yet.. even if it does get reviewed, why did the 360 ver get reviewed first ? :!:twisted: The 360 version is Not even the definitive version of Left 4 Dead.. The PC one is... It has Better controls, Much competitive & intense gameplay, & Obviously better graphics as well.8) So why the 360 only ? Was Chris Watters abit too lazy to sit on chair with Mouse/KB rather than a controller in hand on a couch ? i know it's too early to comment on the review.. but this is just.. unbelievable as Left4Dead is primarily a PC title.. 360 just got lucky enough to get a "port". Even a biased site like Gametrailers.com is showing off some PC footage & will be reviewing the PC version same as 360 one. & see Gamespot.... My respect for them just got increased..:twisted: GS now is just unreliable.. biased..(like always)

On one hand, I find it pretty funny that Gamespot doesn't even try to hide the fact that it doesn't care about PC gaming at all (console gamers hype games a lot more, so they fit better into Gamespot's business plan: hype games so that you can advertise them and then give them great reviews and advertise them some more). On the other hand, I think that it contributes to the whole "PC gaming is dying!" vibe, which, while a completely wrong statement, is probably bad for the platform.

I'd give it a 8.7934!

lol at people who think that they can accurately rate games. 

You should totally get a job then.  THis is how your reviews would be like.  Hey!  I liked it, i will give it...a 9.4, NEXT.  8.0 NEXT eh its a JRPG, i dont like its style, 1.0! NEXT!.  You're just giving it a number, however, they are actually reviewing it according what they thought of it.  They back up their thoughts with a well written (sometimes) review and actually give opinions of what is bad and what is good about the game. 

9.0 +...why do you think that?  What makes it not a 10 if its so superior?  an 8.5 is good, Honestly, just looking at this game doesn't make it look like a 9.5 quality game.

Nobody here said that 8.5 is bad.. it's a great score for such a short game.. but it's amazing replayability & perfect co-op action make it worthy of a 9.0+, that's just imo. & if you don't know many reviewers have actually given it a 5/5 score. what makes it not a 10/10 game for me ? well like every other game it has it's few minor issues.

Not everyone cares about the graphics, & Left 4 Dead looks really great actually... considering it's running on a 4-5 year old Source engine.

i think may be Chris gave it 8.5 cause the 360 version really sucks when compared to PC version which he hasn't played yet... but still it was good enough to get a 8.5. All im pissed about is that why Left4Dead gets reviewed on 360 first... not on PC. Biased reviewers.... Also i just checked everything shown in vid review is 360 gameplay. how do you even play well in a FPS with Controllers anyway ? It's like... totally for nubs, kids & casual gamers.  Lame imo.

not to be flamed on but, i rarely rarely, rate a game above 8.5 unless i believe it will a game i have in the back of my thoughts for years, like     silent hill, parasite eve, command and conquer, goldeneye 64,

but i loved the left 4 dead demo.. and will get the game, but as the demo sets i give the left 4 dead demo an 8-8.5,   i have played many many games, and this is a good game. 

maybe once i play the full game it might be one of the above 8.5 rated games, but we will see.
