Left 4 Dead 2 – DLC 1 – (Leeds United 4)
Dec 15th
We're hoping to get our Left 4 Dead 2 review out soon, but other commitments have held that up. Now the excuses are done, it's time to mention the first DLC pack for the zombie co-op sequel.
Zoey, Bill, Francis and Louis are due to appear in the first pack, which goes by the name 'The Passing' and features new single & multiplayer content for the game on both formats.
Pricing is currently ambiguously 'TBA', but will probably follow the old 'free for PC, chargeable for Xbox 360 because Microsoft smell' pattern, unless Valve are ready to trigger yet another PR cluster-fuck by charging across all formats.
Press release after the cut...
L4D2 release date clarification
Nov 14th
Valve have broken cover with a blog post outlining just when the imminent sequel to last years #1 game will hit.
Valve seem to be using EST as the guideline for a change (i'm sure you can work it out from there) but I'd be surprised if there isn't a hint of Valve Time in there somewhere. Oh, there are survivor bios and a few weapon breakdowns hidden in the post too.
Get the L4D2 demo on Steam now.
Due to an ongoing debate in the office and online as to whether "12 AM" means noon or midnight (we're still sticking with midnight), it's been more challenging than we realized to tell people when exactly our game will be available. Factor in the Earth rotating around the sun, daylight savings time, some of our fans insisting on using the Mayan calendar, and we're just going to try and make this as specific as possible:
When L4D2 will go live:
Tuesday, November 17th, 12:00 AM (midnight) Eastern Standard Time
- Monday, November 16th, 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time
- Monday, November 16th, 10:00 PM Mountain Standard Time
- Monday, November 16th, 11:00 PM Central Standard Time
- Tuesday, November 17th, 12:00 AM (midnight) Eastern Standard Time
- Tuesday, November 17th, 5:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time
- Tuesday, November 17th, 8:00 AM Moscow Time
- Tuesday, November 17th, 2:00 PM Japan Standard Time
Also, if you were interested in learning a bit more about the Survivors you'll be playing as this Tuesday(ish), check out our Survivor pages for Nick, Ellis, Coach and Rochelle with character, weapon and item details.

Bat Mentality – Left 4 Dead 2 ‘Dark Carnival’ footage
Sep 9th
Despite what everyone's opinions on the 'early arrival' of the sequel for Left 4 Dead, it doesn't change the fact that Valve are at least trying to make the game different, what with the proper melee weapons (with added violence), new and more radical special infected (mainly designed around weeding out the exploits of the first game) and uncommon common infected who force you too mix up your playstyle a bit.
Still, I wish they'd stop demoing the game on the farking Xbox 360 (or at least get someone talented to play it)...
Thanks RPS & GameTrailers...
Because it ain’t just about the comics no more – SDCC trailers
Jul 24th
It seems these days that every expo under the sun is suitable for showing off the latest trailers for games - when the Call Centre Expo in the Brimingham NEC starts showing off the latest 360 releases, they can pay me royalties or something for calling it!
Regardless, hit the jump for footage from the show. Highlights include some proper stylish Borderlands footage, further proof that the PC is realllllly the platform too play Left 4 Dead 2 on, more sneaky Alpha Protocol footage and more...
