24-hr Free trial of Left 4 Dead

Free 24-Hour Trial!

Starting tonight, 8pm (EST)

Starting tonight, Thursday April 30th, at 8pm EST, Steam will be opening up the PC version of Left 4 Dead with a free 24-hour trial for all to try! The trial includes access to the recently released Survival Pack DLC. Those who wish to take advantage of the offer can now pre-load everything needed to play with no obligation to purchase.

There will be plenty of TG'ers looking to show you the ropes, so when you're ready for a game, be sure to hop in the TG-L4D chat room in steam! This game takes hardcore, multiplayer teamwork - don't waste your time in offline single-player!

Left for dead has three game-modes. In the campaigns, you play through the 5 scenes of a movie in cooperative mode. In versus, you also play through 5 levels, but you alternate playing as survivors and the infected, seeing who can make it the farthest. Survival mode is pure mayhem, where you and 3 friends hole-up and try to survive as long as possible - there's a stop-watch running at the top of the screen as wave after wave of infected 'zombies' pour in. It's generally recommended that you play through one of the five-scene campaigns before you give versus or survival modes a serious go.

UPDATE: It was just announced that Left 4 Dead is 40% off - just $23.99 - through May 4th. [details]

Thanks, Whiskey! I've had this since it was released, but haven't played it much for some reason (damn you CoD4). I'll try to make it in after 9:00PST - I hope you guys are still online at that time!

Guys I HATE Zombies, but this is the best multiplayer team game in years. Get this and you will thank yourself after hours of great teamplay.
