Left 4 Dead Almost Famous - 8/12/08

Left 4 Dead will be shown at the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany, Festival du Jeu Video in France, PC Gamer Showdown in the UK, and the Xbox 360 version will debut at Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Washington.

Valve posted a press release with the following quote from Gabe Newell:

The shared experience of Left 4 Dead is unlike that of any other action game. That's what we've experienced playing the game, and from showing the game to the press and our partners. It sounds cliche, but in many ways you have to play this one to truly appreciate what we're attempting. So, to give gamers a chance to sample this new type of experience first hand, we're taking Left 4 Dead on the road.

The Penny Arcade Expo takes place August 29-31st and will be the first-ever public showing of the Xbox 360 version. As of today, nobody outside of Valve has ever been able to touch and write about the Xbox 360 version, so we can take it as a very positive sign of the state of that version of the game. If you plan on visiting this year's PAX and are able to get your hands on L4D 360, please let us know how it plays!

Finally, Gamereactor TV posted their video interview with Mike Booth from E3.
