What a shocker! </sarcasm> I mean really, who didn’t see this coming? I had almost forgotten that Turtle Rock wasn’t already assimilated into Valve, especially considering that most, if not all, of their games have been made under the wings of Valve.

Doug Lombardi, Valve’s VP of marketing, stated “Left 4 Dead fills a long-standing demand gamers have had for a co-op first-person action experience, and it will also help Valve’s expansion into the console market.”

From what I’ve seen and heard so far, Left 4 Dead seems to be shaping up to be the co-op experience it hopes to be.
