Haha read my mind!
My 'no (real) games buying' embargo is preventing me from getting the game anyway, but I'm torn between Mole's and Peltz' reviews.
They're actually pretty representative of most of the things I read about the game...some people seem to dig it a lot, others hate it. It also seems to be a good concept with some horrible mechanics...so maybe everything gets straightened out along the line with patches?
On another note, we should get a L4D2 crew together to play the 'beta' campaign Cold Stream. It looks like a ton of fun.
