Valve (http://games.on.net/filelist.php?company=62) like to throw parties, almost every weekend. This time, they've let us know in advance that everyone is invited, starting at 12:01 AM GMT Friday, (that will be 9:31 AM in Adelaide, 10:01 AM in the Eastern States, on Friday) to try out Left 4 Dead (http://games.on.net/app/1658/) and the new Survival Pack free of charge via Steam.

Users wishing to take up Valve (http://games.on.net/filelist.php?company=62) on their offer will need a Steam account to preload (steam://preload/500) the Left 4 Dead (http://games.on.net/app/1658/) game content, which will allow them to play the free trial the very moment it begins.

Internode customers who are concerned about bandwidth limitations need not fear, if the Left 4 Dead (http://games.on.net/app/1658/) game files are downloaded from any Australian content server, it will not count towards your monthly data limit.

In Left 4 Dead (http://games.on.net/app/1658/), players take on the role of one of four survivors in a bid to survive against wave after wave of flesh-hungry zombies. Those who'd rather see humanity's numbers dwindle are able to take part on behalf of the Zombie Overlords in versus mode, in a bid to cleanse the Earth of the menace that is humanity. The game has a heavy emphasis on teamwork, and requires communication and coordination to be successful.

If you're interested, but have been unsure about purchasing the game, the free trial is a good chance to have a go and what is considered one of the most "fun" games of recent time, according to many, many, many gamers. The free trial is limited to the PC version of the game, and only lasts for 24 hours on Saturday.

The zombie went that way, dudes!Just in case you'd forgotten, about a little announcement that Valve (http://games.on.net/filelist.php?company=62) made yesterday regarding a free trial (http://games.on.net/article/5754/) for Left 4 Dead (http://games.on.net/app/1658/), which is on now - they've added something to sweeten the deal. A temporary discount on all copies of Left 4 Dead (http://games.on.net/app/1658/) purchased through Steam.

While the trial only runs for around the next twenty four hours, the sale of Left 4 Dead (http://games.on.net/app/1658/) is to last all weekend. The discount is fairly hefty, at 40% off, which is sure to boost sales of the game when one considers the free trial currently going on in the darkened corners of the Internet.

The 40% discount means that Left 4 Dead (http://games.on.net/app/1658/) is available for US$23.99 through the Steam store. More details can be found on the game's Steam page (http://store.steampowered.com/app/500/), which also carries a link to download (steam://preload/500) the game for trial.

Left 4 Dead (http://games.on.net/app/1658/) pits zombies, and survivors against one another, and allows four players to fight for survival, or, should they choose to do so, dedicate themselves to the zombie horde in order to cleanse the blight of humanity from the planet. Either way, it is apparently a lot of fun. (And, it is also probably making Valve (http://games.on.net/filelist.php?company=62) even richer than they were before - whatever do they do with all those shiny gemstones?)
