G4TV has just sent out a link to their newest special, a 15 minute direct-feed video of their time with the newest Left4Dead demo (coming out tomorrow on the Xbox360).The video does a decent job at expressing some of the story itself, which has been missing in previous trailers. Of course, in classic horror movie style, the voice acting and story themselves leave something to be desired. 
On the other hand, zombie movies are rarely noted for their acting and voicework, and the action in the Left4Dead video looks pretty frantic and fun. And while our own hands-on with the game at PAX made us big fans, it's still been hard to shake the 'Half-Life Mod'' feeling. It's been garnering some pretty damn good scores so far though, and the G4TV vid looks great as well, so hopefully Left4Dead will transcend Action Half-Life and hit something more on par with Portal.
