I would but I dont think my computer could run it.
Besides it looks scary  ::)
So maybe not sure yet.
How is it?

Like I said above: It rivals Hidden: Source as one of the spookiest/scariest games I've played ... which is GREAT!

...And while I haven't tried it on my rig yet (it's Steam, right?! Kewl!) sonny's pretty high-end rig can't play it on very high settings. ('Good enogh to play/watch, but not "totally breathtaking....")

When estimating machine needed to play this game at a "pretty" enough level, think Crysis....  (My son wants me to play Crysis on my computer all the time now, so he can marvel at how absolutely gorgeous it is! FYI: All high settings with 8x antialiasing! Woot!)

So yes, it's a thrilling/scary game (at times it WILL make you jump!), and yes, you might want to check out Can You Run It? before purchasing.


[FYI: Meeting the "Minimum" spec's means that the game is basically "playable." Exceeding the Recommended specs is where the game gets smooth and playable the way the designers meant it to be....]

Played it on son's account for a bit, and I like it a lot.

It seems the Powers That Be are in alignment with my desires: Steam is having a HUGE sale right now, and Left4Dead was ... $37.50!

So now I have a copy and can play co-op on LAN with son (and friends!)

KEWL!

I got a free copy of halo pc (so sons can play online with me) when I bought Left 4 Dead. 

Have you seen the Half Life 2 mod Insurgency?  Can download free on Steam.

A group of fans are also doing a third party Source remake of Half Life 1. Looks really sweet.

It's a cool game, but no. Too short game-time and i'd rather get COD5 for my birthday
