Play Left 4 Dead 4 free 4 24 hours

(Credit: Steam)

Update: Left 4 Dead is currently discounted on Steam's website at 40% off (from $39.99 to $23.99), but just for this weekend only.

If you haven't tried playing Left 4 Dead yet because of the price, or aren't sure about the game in general, that's OK. Valve has decided to let you try it out for free.

At 5:01 p.m. PDT Thursday, you'll be able to download and play the game for free via Steam for a whole 24 hours. Better still, to get your full 24-hour allotment of play time Steam allows you to preload it to your account right now.

This isn't a free-forever offer, nor is there going to be a discount available afterward (as with what happened with UT3 in March). Alas, the game will be locked again the following night, but at least it will give you a chance to play and decide for yourself. Obviously, Valve is hoping you'll love it and send some cash their way to keep playing.

Can't see how someone wouldn't enjoy it enough to buy it, this game rocks! Probably the most fun you can have in co-op setting.

Steam currently has a 40% discount on the game.
Just in case anyone was wondering.

This game is awesome to put it in one word. The verus mode of the game is superb, and the playing in campaign on-line is cool.

Call of Duty 4 vs Left 4 Dead?

Anyone feel free to comment.

Err, um, there are only 4 more hours to play, and I'll be home in 3. Dang.

I played this but wasnt overly impressed. Like many 1st Person PC games its just wildly zoom around a level at 60mph. Sure there are a lot of horde spilling out from everywhere which gives it something over the rest, but to be honest, yes, I would rather play COD4

After playing this game for nearly 24 hours, all I can say is that I'm impressed!
And much more likely to purchase the game than I was before.

1. I've been able to see for myself that the game works...on MY computer.
2. I've seen the graphics, gameplay, online mode...and I like it!

If more games did this on a regular basis, they'd definitely end up selling more titles.
Thanks, CNet, for getting me onto this before it was too late.
