    Hey I never got around to a couple of games when they first came out so anyone help me out?

    First off Left 4 Dead, does anyone still play it, and around how much could I get it for?

    And FIFA 09, O really wanna get into a sports game but never got this ( which is fairly stupid seen as within the first week in Tescos it was actually 25 euro!). Should I get this or wait til FIFA 10?

    I have both these games and still play them both pretty frequently. I have an Xbox 360 and since you didn't mention what platform you've got I'll assume you've got the same.

    Left 4 Dead is a fantastic game that a lot of people still play online. Valve, the creators, just released a free update for it with a completely new game type and additions to two of the original maps. Valve are great for updating and supporting their games so it wouldn't be a surprise for them to release more maps for it in the future.

    It's available on http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/GAMES/XB2LE06-Left%204%20Dead.html for what works out as just over 31 quid including p&p. I've never used this site before though so I can't vouch for their service.

    FIFA 09 is also very good game (although obviously very different). Many critics highlighted it as the first time the series has surpassed the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise. Whether or not you buy it now largely depends on how soon you want it and whether or not having the fully up-to-date version with up-to-date players is important (e.g. Andrei Arshavin is not at Arsenal in the game). 25 quid isn't bad but it's available from both Blahdvd.com and Gameplay for less than 20.

    Thank you very much mate, yes I have a 360...

    OK I think I will get L4D because it looks bril and there isnt really any reason why I dont have it already.

    I think Ill hold out on FIFA til a couple of months.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to help me out :)

    I appreciate it.

    Youre a week slow asking - Left 4 dead was 40% off last weekend. Its a great game and I suspect it will continue to receive new content over time, in a similar fashion to TF2.

    The survival pack has just been released (free) for L4D. There is a flood of returning players. You wont have trouble finding a game.
