Left 4 Dead is Voodoo Extreme's #1 most anticipated game of 2008.

In a recent feature, Voodoo Extreme have listed their top ten most wanted games of 2008 and our chosen Zombie blaster has hit the top spot. Beating off competition from big names such as StarCraft2, Fallout3 and Warhammer Online, Left 4 Dead stands out as the 'sleeper hit of the year'.

1. Left 4 Dead
Developer: Valve
Publisher: Valve
ETA: Summer (75%)

The Company Line: Valve presents Left 4 Dead – an online cooperative survival horror experience explicitly designed to emphasize extreme teamwork and intense action. A small group of four “Survivors” must fight their way through apocalyptic environments in an attempt to escape the overwhelming hordes of dangerous “Infected” – violently psychopathic victims of a horrible viral pandemic.

The Bottom Line: Why so high? I was hooked on the game the first time I saw people playing it. What's not to love? The sleeper hit of the year will be Left 4 Dead. Short of Valve bundling the game with Episode 3 as whatever color box deal they want to call it, we should see L4D on Steam early this Summer.

This is the full list:

10. Alan Wake
9. Duke Nukem Forever
8. Empire Total War
7. Sins of a Solar Empire
6. Spore
5. Warhammer Online
4. Age of Conan
3. Fallout 3
2. StarCraft 2
1. Left 4 Dead

Gotta love #9. Has that been on most wanted for 10 years now? Ahaha.

But I imagine L4D will be a sleeper hit. To be honest, I didn't know much of anything about it until I joined in here. So when it comes out people will be surprised by it.

I found out early last year when a mate was telling me about it in English, but back then the details were sketchy... It still sounded brilliant.

On the side, I'm surprised that GTA IV isn't on there.

Maybe this is just PC games.

January is starting to wind down so I figured now would be a good time to put our top-10 most wanted PC games list on record.

Yep. Only PC games.

Oh crap my brain just connected Fallout 3 with the old Fallout games! Shit! I can't wait for that!

Out of that list I'm looking forward to L4D (duh!), FO3, Alan Wake and Spore. Of course I'm interested in most of them but those are my top 4.

GTAIV should be released on PC before 2009. Around six months after the console release, or something like that. I'm assuming October 2008.

[Drools over the thought of GTA IV for PS3... Drools more about Fallout 3]

They are also releasing it no xbox 360 in case you don't lnow. I remember when i first saw some pictures and read about it I wasn't interested in all after, But when I finally saw the gameplay it then I got interested in it.

MyNameDidntFit · January 26th, 2008, 03:16 AM

Haha the moment I knew it was about 'zombies' I was interested

But then almost anything with zombies is of interest to me...

Oh and yeah, we know its going to be on 360 as well

Leroy · January 26th, 2008, 03:39 AM

I will be getting it for pc, 1st person shooters are best on pcs, there are also good ones on consoles, but if I ever discontinued my payment, I would have to start again just to be able to play online. WHich makes it better for pc.

MyNameDidntFit · January 26th, 2008, 03:50 AM

Ah the never-ending Console Vs PC war. Its entirely opinion. I enjoy FPS on my PS2/3 as much as I enjoy them on my PC if not more

Leroy · January 26th, 2008, 04:09 AM

Very true, I am sure its going to be good on xbox 360 also.

Well To be Honest I found about about this game today and I just can get enough of the gameplay videos, spent about a month on forums for Resident Evil 5 Asking if it had co-op, then this morning got a message saying "Dude you want co-op zombie killing get left 4 dead. Now I hadnt heard of this game before and the name Left 4 dead at first made me sceptical thought it was some dodgy chinese game(Nothing against chinese games just not my thing).Then i saw it in action and I really cant wait!

MyNameDidntFit · February 2nd, 2008, 03:01 AM

You only heard about it today?!
Oh God, you poor child. Its OK. You can see the light now.
