Down in the bayou of Louisiana, all hell has broken loose in this second entry of the multiplayer zombie-fest. Players assume the role of four new survivors, each with their own personality and new dialog. The game leads them through the southeastern region of the US -- from Savannah, Georgia through the bayou country, and climaxing in New Orleans' French Quarter.
This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns. You'll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you’ll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan. You'll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You'll also encounter five new "uncommon" common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen.

There are times when game developers release their mod tools into the wild and say "Have fun!" to all those interested in playing around with them, and then proceed to not help anyone to understand how to use them. Not Valve, man. Not only are they releasing the Extended Mutation System, they've also laid out a blog on what you can do with it. What a bunch of nice folks. Read More »
Left 4 Dead 2 will be free to download and play in a Steam promo starting today and running all weekend long. I suspect that Halloween-special news will be received as a treat by many, but a trick by others. Valve seems to understand that L4D veterans might not be interested in showing an influx of rookies the zombie shooting ropes, so it's throwing in a little promo incentive in the form of a new achievement: "Good Guy Nick - Plays games with free weekend players and helps them survive a campaign."

Some of my best gaming moments have involved sitting down with some cider, gathering gamer friends on Ventrilo, and testing out new user-created maps in Left 4 Dead 2. It seems my nerdy nights in are being encouraged further thanks to the Steam Workshop, which will soon be rolling out support for L4D2. Read More »
"Dudes, what are you doing? You're ruining it!" cried every developer who charges for DLC (in my head, at least) as Valve released Cold Stream as a free update for all PC and Mac owners of Left 4 Dead 2. After over a year in beta, Valve's finally declared the mod-turned-official campaign ready for prime time, and bundled with it L4D2 versions of the five original Left 4 Dead campaigns. Is Steam running right now? You might already have it installed. Mind: blown. Additionally, if you're one of the four *ding!* three people left who doesn't own Left 4 Dead 2, it's now on sale for $5 on Steam. Read More »
