Neat, i'm down with Zombie Killing on the Source Engine. That was #2 on my list of problems I had with Counterstrike when it first came out, no zombies. #1 Was no Nazi's, but DoD fixed that. Yep, #3 was bending space and time (portal), and #5 was Murder Mystery (Ship). All thats left is #4, a decent Console version... ahh, i can dream can't I...
But seriously, first i'm hearing of this, my ears are peaked, I might have to re-install Counterstrike just to get a use out of Steam til this comes out :')

I wasn't bieng totally sarcastic. I really think the Source Engine could be the best platform for killing zombies if Havok Physics were used and if it was programmed right.

Maybe Valve should buy a dev that is actually better at releasing games on time instead of one that delays as much as they do... just a thought.

Left 4 dead confirmed for the next orange box, you hear it here first.
A new Orange Box this year with Left 4 Dead, Episode 3 and a New Counter Strike or Blue shift better yet Opposition force would totally kick ass, probably is not going to happen but a man can dream.

Ouch...
Half-Life is a pretty good game... and if you're like me you've beaten the first too many times to count, and blew through the entire HL2 series... also, if you're like me you're not amused by HL:Source...
Anyways... i'd be nice for another Half-Life to come out... i'm almost done with Assasins Creed and i'll have no more Adventure Game to Play :'( (do I really HAVE to get Mass Effect?)

Maybe if you had played all the half life games you'll know that Black Mesa is serious buisness.

I'm also playing Assassins’ Creed after that I'll buy either Call of duty 4,Burnout Paradise, Guitar Hero 3 or Naruto Rise of a Ninja until Brawl is Released.
Is just me or Assassins’ creed gets awfully repetitive after a while, I mean the start was decent but it gets totally crapola from there then it gets better when you get to the actual assassination and then it repeats itself. Also what the hell with the flags stuff? Killing Templars is fun but seeking flags in Sonic words is No good.
Hint: no one likes to collect flags, discs, orbs, phone numbers etc is useless and annoying. Side quests like the ones in Oblivion are totally Ok in my book.

@paragraph:
Dude you really should get Mass Effect. Its awsome. Worthy of GOTY in my book at least.
PS: Thats exactly what I did; I got Mass Effect after I finished Assasin's Creed.

Since I don't like the running zombies, I'm not very interested in playing this.
Romero's Zombies all the way baby!

I really want to, but I haven't fired it up yet. I heard there weren't many people playing it. It looks great, though. Perhaps I will download that beast tonight and try it out.

Hope they port it to the 360. Given Valve's track record, i'm expecting them to months after the PC release.

What. Valves track record of 360 releases?
You mean HL2 on the Xbox which took years. Or... The only other example of Orange Box. Where 2/5 games are over a year old.
They make PC games and throw out compilations to console owners.

Considering how many games Valve releases thats a pretty good track record. The latest release, Orange Box, didn't take too long reaching the 360. I don't have money for a gaming PC, I have my cheap ass laptop which is only getting upgraded for WotLK and my old ass PC which freezes whenever I try fighting the Timurids in TW:M2.

Um, you do know that the Orange Box was also released for PC?
Except, for us PC HL2 owners, Valve shafted us and made us buy the full orange box instead of just getting Ep2, TF2 (Worst game I've played on a PC in 10 years) and Portal. So much for promises.
Here's my problem with Valve buying TRS. Every company they've bought has ended up being merged into Valve and most of those people quit instead of being forced to develop "valve" games vs. games they were going to do.
Almost makes one think the only reason Valve bought TRS is to head off TRS stomping valve later.
