  • Left 4 Dead

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Bought it on Steam, and have the demo pre-loaded... just playing the waiting game now.

Not sure how I'm going to divide time between Fallout 3, Gears 2, and Left 4 Dead

Well, I suggest you play Gears 2 this weekend in Horde mode until your fingers bleed. Then you can set the controller down and use your non-damaged fingers to play Fallout 3 while you heal. Buy Left 4 Dead and stash it away 'til next year :-)

Now I'll admit I haven't been watching these games too closely, the easiest way to avoid buying 6 games in a month is to just pretend they're not there, but wtf is this "horde mode" you keep talking about Zeus? It's all you talk about when it comes to Gears 2.

It's a 5-player online mode where you mow down waves of Locusts. With each wave, the enemies become harder and harder to kill. It's supposed to be really, really fun.

This mode couple with the fact that you can slow people down when they run by shooting them is what's gonna really show how good the multiplayer in Gears can be. The run and gun bullshit people were pulling with Gears 1 online destroyed the very spirit of the game. I'm happy as hell Epic fixed that
