After enduring numerous delays, Left 4 Dead, the survival-horror FPS from Valve's Turtle Rock Studios, is finally coming on November 4, according to Big Download.

Left 4 Dead is built around four-player co-op in which gamers fight off hordes of zombies throughout several scenarios while also having the chance to play as zombie bosses. The game also features an A.I. "director" that changes the spawn points for enemy zombies with each play-through and controls the flow of the action.

You'll be able to pick it up on the Xbox 360 and PC.

In news unrelated to the E3 leak, Wired's Game|Life blog has heard a rumor that the original Metal Gear Solid was recently spotted on Microsoft's developer-only PartnerNet service, which is used to test upcoming Xbox Live games. If true, this rumor means the game will likely be released on XBLA sometime in the near future.

However, members of the NeoGAF forums quickly pointed out that the huge amount of audio in the game would make it nearly impossible to shrink the game down to the 350 megabyte limit on the size of XBLA games, meaning that Microsoft may once again increase the allowed file size to accommodate the game provided that the rumor is true.

First up in the series of posts regarding the Intellisponse leak is news that Microsoft may be planning to finally announce a long-awaited alternative to Nintendo's Miis: "Xbox Avatars."

Joystiq is reporting that "Avatars" were mentioned in a Microsoft survey and may take the place of gamer pictures, giving Live users "an animated, customizable online persona." Intellisponse's website stated that they will be available at holiday time for those connected to Xbox Live and during the spring for everyone else. This, coupled with information from Joystiq's "trusted source" that the 360's fall update would consist of a service that sounds much like "Xbox Avatars," gives a certain credence to this rumor.

As always, we'll keep you updated.
