This is probably one of the best games of 08, I LOVE it! Too bad I don't have Xbox Live.
 
Single player is horrible. The AI just doesn't work well. I mean they will heal you if you get injured but you have to enter every room and they don't really have a mind for yourself. Co-Op and multiplayer is the better parts of the game. This is an amazing game though, It lived up to all my expectations. I guess i'll paste my old MPF posts so people can find out what this game is about since our friend "Ryan" said nothing about it.

I can't believe I haven't hyped this on here. Anyways this new shooter from Valve, will be the best game of all time (i'm sure of it). I can't wait until Nov. 18th. I'm getting it for the PC, but it's also available for the 360 (which i'll buy when I get a 360). You play as 4 survivors of a Zombie infection and you fight to survive. It has co-op, single player and online.

Some awesome trailers:

Oh and you can also play as the Zombies ;)

The game just has a real atmosphere and world to it. It's quite shocking. It's also the best shooter i've ever played.

I'd say the co-op experience which really makes it stand-out. You really depend on your other players to survive. Some of the situations you need your fellow survivors to survive like when a Hunter (a boss zombie) gets you on the ground, one of your teammates has to knock him off you or when the Smoker (another boss zombie) grabs you with it's tongue (similiar to the one enemy in Half Life), you have to have a person shoot the tongue off or if you fall off a building or get knocked out you need someone to help you up or revive yourself. From the 2 levels i've played on the demo on Steam it has been some of the best experiences i've ever had. It's a far better multiplayer experience than Gears of War, Halo or Rock Band. Plus the AI is really cool. If you're breezing through the level it will add more regular zombies and if you are having trouble more health packs will be hidden around the levels. Plus the attention to detail is really amazing. Like in the apartment in the first level you can see an ad for Team Fortress 2 on the back of a milk carton (its hard to see though). You can even open a fridge door with the E button (which is used for picking stuff up and opening doors in-game). Plus while the zombies start out at the same location each time they move and have a mind of their own so the gameplay experience is different each time. It's really a unique experience that you have to play yourself.
