Left 4 Dead shouldn't be discounted as a AAA shooter(achievement spoilers)

This is a guaranteed AAA game. Valve + shooter pretty much assured that.

It has been getting a lot less hype that other games, primarily because:
- It is a new IP, not a sequel.
- It is multi-platform.
- It comes out right after Gears2, Resistance 2, and CoD:WaW.

Despite that, it might just be the best shooter this fall.

 

The Demo of the game alone is already better than any shooter that has come out on any system so far to this date as of this writing (the 11th, so that includes CoD too, haven't touched Mirror's Edge yet). Me and my buddies shooting through hordes and hordes of zombies and every time it's different really spices things up. The AI driector eally helps with this, and this is just 2 levels out of 20 and a gazillion other user created ones and not even Versus mode (where players can control the zombies). L4D is pure genius imprinted on a disc. It will single haandedly delay my quest to level 80 in wow by several months. No matter what everyone says, this is THE game to own this holiday season. As you said, Valve + FPS = Utter humilation for any other game coming within 2 months of it (unless it's Blizzard + RPG/RTS, then the world ends, literally).
