Great game, or greatest game?

http://www.l4d.com/

Basically, you and 3 other dudes are survivors, and you kill zombies while trying to stay alive.

A bunch of us on IRC have been doing co-op the past few days, get on IRC (or the metagroup on steam) if you want to join us. (Demo is only available 'til Tuesday, after that, you have to buy it to play it)
Demo is over, you can buy it now

Just finished the Xbox360 version of this demo (with my wifey no less, good times)...

What a stupidly fun game. They didn't over do it either. Just zobmies and shooting, well and co-op. Nothing could be more simple in premise, and more fun in practice.

I love this game so much. Also, for the hell of it. I replaced the Boomer's explosion sounds with the Demoman yelling "KA-BOOOM!" Now, every time one explodes, I can help but to laugh.

If by teaser, you mean the commercial that aired in some places (also here), then it is 'Grounds for Divorce' by 'Elbow' (it says it at the end of the teaser)

Ok, now that its out, how many of you guys are getting it?
If enough people I know are (read: about 8), I'll probably get it; the general population of the internet is too full of dicks to chance always having to play with random people.

I bought it 7 hours ago, and I'm playing it right now. Third level is crazy. Also, one of the achievements is really interesting. It's from another zombie game. Find it and get a cookie.

Bought it today on the recommendation of a few personal friends.
Planning on installing it and trying it out when I get home.

Argh. I've been watching a live stream today, looks like too much fun.

I'm not even going to touch it on my 3gig single core pos. Minimum spec is never good times :(
