And remember, the game is playable at 9 pm EST TONIGHT!  That's 11 pm for me...6 hours...can't wait!

9 out of 10 for graphics? Really IGN? This game is a 9? wow...

Seriously though, game is amazing but graphics are quite sub par. Even animations are sub par...you can blow up a guys head and thats about it. No dismemberment. Also, there isn't any force when shooting zombies and bosses they jsut stand there and take it.

I know that 100s of zombies are on screen but graphics are seriously 2006ish.

Again, this doesnt take away anything from this being an awesome game...but reviewer freebe points like this screw me and my bet with Ben.  :)

Hmm, I might get it. Not a huge zombie fan though...

I gotta check the specs on this to see if my old rig is up to the job, because this game looks frikkin sweet.

Wow this game got good scores....I hated the demo.

I won't overhype this despite my other thread. 9.0 was expected by me(though reviews don't mean much). The demo has lived up to my expectations. It'll have a tough road to hoe before it can surpass Fallout 3, or match Gears 2 for me this year, but it could do it. That said, it's a Valve game, and they only make great stuff.

Often, games with an online focus hold a sort of mystery when it comes to reviews. There is an assumption that the game has potential beyond what is available at launch. However, you can't rate games off of potential, because potential, more than any other aspect of a game, has the probability of going unfulfilled.

This is a relatively ambitious game, and one thing I'll be looking for in a AAA title that doesn't ordinarily appear in an online shooter is story and character development(the "crossing the street" trailer gave me hope here).

The demo was pretty good. Very entertaining. Seems like the concept will get old though.

This game is probably going to be the next thing I play with my friend.

9.0 from IGN is kinda low considering the hype behind this game.
