Half-Life house Valve Software is increasing its push behind November's survival horror co-op shooter Left 4 Dead.

The Bellevue, Wash. developer said Tuesday that press will be able to get hands-on time with the game at public events including Germany's Leipzig Games Convention, France's Festival du Jeu Video and PC Gamer Showdown in the U.K.

The Xbox 360 version of the game will be at Seattle's Penny Arcade Expo.

Members of the development team will also be on hand at the events.

Valve president Gabe Newell said in a statement, "It sounds cliché, but in many ways you have to play this one to truly appreciate what we're attempting. So, to give gamers a chance to sample this new type of experience first hand, we're taking Left 4 Dead on the road."
