Left 4 Dead`

Ok, I got the demo- definitely a cool game, but I got a couple gripes. Zombie spawns seem nonsensical to me. I can clear a room, check for exits, finding none and move on only to moments later have a horde of zombies sprinting at you from the rooms you just cleared while you're engaged in the next firefight. Outdoors, I would have no problem with this but it is just counter intuitive when you're attacked by 3 dozens zombies from a room you just cleared that had no entrances or exits.

I totally understand the need for zombies to spawn throughout the game, I just hope they put a little more thought into how they do it when they actually release the game.

My only other complaint would be that it almost seems too hard for someone to get themselves killed, but I might be able to fix that problem by upping the difficulty. It almost seems like I could keep a zombie around as a pet and let him gnaw on me without losing significant health.

On the bright side, the environments and sound are great and the zombie animations are perfectly creepy.
