My Race Driver GRID preview has gone live over on 411 Mania and features my thoughts on the demo and some other ramblings.

I say things such as;

If you just want to see some wrecks, then drive into anything and everything, smoke, wheels, bodywork and glass will appear and fill the screen. The cars all take realistic damage in real time and they look like they have taken a beating. Even if you crash by accident then you can use the nifty Instant Replay feature which allows you to rewind time, Prince of Persia style to before the incident allowing you to avoid that spectacular crash.

It may have taken a short while but my preview of Left 4 Dead has been published on HalfLife2.net and in it I say such things as:

Four Survivors, five big monsters, countless Infected, this is Left 4 Dead, the upcoming game from Turtle Rock studios, the latest addition to the Valve family. Left 4 Dead is destined to be the ultimate in cooperative survival first person shooters. Combining some of the best gaming elements ever to grace the PC, Left 4 Dead is a game destined to change the face of PC gaming as we know it.

This preview was intended to incorporate information from an interview with members of the Left 4 Dead team…but alas somewhere along the lines that interview has fallen through the cracks and seems to have disappeared.

Anyway read the preview of Left 4 Dead right here.
