I loved the first one. My son and I played the heck out of it, and can't wait for this one. It comes two days before his birthday, and it is the only thing on his list.  ;D

Cool! :)  360 or PC?

Maybe I'll actually finish my first control panel once it is done.  :)

Thanks Gary! Valve rocks!

Any chance you guys did a commentary? I've been checking out the ones you recorded for the Half-Life games and it's a cool feature.

In that video, I didn't see the gut spilling I'd read about. It's in there, right?

Can't wait to kill some zombies in the daytime. I'll be playing this game day one. (Again, thanks Gary... ;))

Is there any way to turn the blood off so it's kid friendly?

Just make a mod for it with confetti or flowers. Maybe the medkits could be used by the zombies and have their boo-boos bandaged with Hello Kitty Band-Aids.

Really, though, the blood isn't the only reason kids should avoid it. There's more than just blood going on here.

There is a low gore option.  It's still an M-rated game though. :)

You do raise a point, though. I wish games did give language options. It doesn't really bother me, but, for instance, I was playing House of the Dead: Overkill at a friend's house and there were kids in the room. We had to send them out of the room over a game on the freakin' Wii!

An option to bleep the language, or have an alternate voice-over track, would be nice.

Good thing you can turn the blood off cause it would be way too disturbing seeing a zombie cut in half by a chainsaw if there was blood involved.   ;D

I'm pretty sure the low gore option turns off the dismemberment.  Not entirely sure though since I haven't played it that way.

Dismemberment will be awesome, but I'm more interested in the disembowelment! ;D

Since this one has daylight levels, are there some nice uses of HDR going on? I love it in the Half-Life games.

Let the guy spam his work a little. ;) I doubt many of us put in more hours than he does.

Agreed.  :applaud: Just downloaded the demo myself and it was a blast.  I haven't had a chance to play the first one, so now I have to catch up.
