Left 4 Dead Wins Best Game Of The Year 2008!

EdgeGamers.org is proud to announce that Left 4 Dead has won the =(eGO)= Game of the Year Award. We looked at several games for GOTY, but L4D won hands down.

Once again Valve swings for the fences and knocks another game out of the park! Innovative game play, teamwork, ease of install, hours of playtime and general over all awesomeness make this the must have game of the year. Unlike many other gaming companies, Valve?s games are not one run through games. Games like CounterStrike, Day of Defeat, and Teamfortress2 offer months and even years of enjoyment instead of the usual one play through and then you are through games of most companies.

L4D takes up where Valve left off with the Orange Box. Teamwork and innovation are part of a revolutionary AI system that makes this game unique. No game is exactly like the last meaning that the consumer gets more bang for their buck. The better you get the more difficult the game becomes. It is not by level but by your team?s own unique skill set.

It is also the scariest game Valve has released. The ambiance and art work is particularly good and frightening. After playing a couple of hours of L4D, zombie nightmares are in your immediate future.

We cannot wait for the modding community to start churning out hits based on L4D as well. Great Job Valve! We also want to see your canidate for next year's GOTY!

But for this November release season, L4D is hands down the best game of 2008!

I personally do not think L4D is the best game of the year, but it is sure in the top 3.
 
Awesome!

The Demo rocked, but I want the full game now. Why does Christmas have to feel like it's so far away? =(
 
The game is so much fun. It is easily game of the year for me. Playing with my friends at eGO has been a BLAST!!
 
Well deserve award. L4D is a must for every 28dayslater/dawnofthedead/nightofthelivingdead/etcetcetc flesh eating zombies fan... and of course FPS fans... :p
 
I played the demo and was underwhelmed. But I weakened because a few friends had it. It's a complete riot when you are playing with friends. The single player is fun too when you are going for achievements.

I actually dodged my head once when a Tank tossed a piece of concrete at me. I haven't dodged at a game since Doom days.

Well done Valve!
 
Excellent choice, I couldn't agree more. Does anyone watch X-Play? I heard it won a few awards on their 2008 Awards Show. Congratulations Valve!
