New Left 4 Dead 2 Trailer! [Yup...Looks Like Its Infected With Awesome]

Thanks to Joystiq

The video may contain too much plot details, so if you are that interested in the Left 4 Dead 2 narrative I would suggest getting your head checked. Thanks. Now more than ever you can totally tell that the black southern guy is 'Cutty' from the Wire. I can't NOT be siked about this game ... [which is more than I can say if I were an Austrailian fan] so I may need skeptics out there to comment on how the game looks exactly like the first one and that it is not worth paying another 60 dollars for a game that "should" be downloadible content. Yeah...still siked!

Zombieland: How Did We Get Here?

The saying "history repeats itself," is quite fitting for cinema. We are living [and enduring] a number of fads right now. A large majority we will regret telling our offspring the magnitude in which we so voraciously supported such trends.  However, the zombie fad as of the past ten years have proven quite fruitful. Movies ranging from comedic homages, like Shaun of the Dead to hyper-realistic social commentaries of the 28 Days/28 Weeks caliber; all have added depth to the horror genre and our current zombie fad. The question is, where does Zombieland fit into all of this?

Review: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

That book that you keep staring at is not going to walk out of Barnes & Noble buy itself. Hopefully after reading this little review, you will have decided to pick up the post-mortem collaboration of Jane Austen with the very much living [for now] Seth Grahame-Smith.  Pride and Predjudice and Zombies has been out for almost a year now and is apart of an ongoing series by Quirk Books.  If you are apprehensive about reading a book directly based off of Austen's Pride & Prejudice, or are one of those people [like me] who find Austen's prose off putting, you are in luck.  Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has the perfect blend of literary wit from Jane Austen's original text, in combination with Seth Grahame-Smith's morbid zombie-fied humor.

Video: Gabe Newell on Left 4 Dead[2] and The PS3

Props to Geoff Keigley and the awesome staff over at Gametrailers for this segment. And what a segment it was [I apologize for all the 'videogamey commercial breaks], but Gabe gabbing about my favorite PC game is always going to make news on this part of the brog. 

What is unfortunate to see is the lack of PS3 support. It isn't surprising, it isn't even something I blame him for, but out of all the beans he was willing to spill about showing interest in Wii and Natal to say 'No, we are not actively developing for the PS3' is pretty damn awful.

The Left 4 Dead 2 Conundrum

Only on the internet are you going to get such a passionate furor over a game that has yet to be released. One of the bigger surprises at this year's E3 event was that Valve's new born baby [as of last year November], Left 4 Dead, would be getting a sequel by November this year. Battle lines have be drawn. Pitchforks are sharpened and raised. Go on over to the Steam forums and take a good look at what the mere announcing of a sequel can cause fans [on both sides] to take some pretty bold stances. On one end there are dedicated fans who have one 100% faith that if and when Left 4 Dead 2 comes out, it will be a quality product. On the other end of the spectrum, there are gamers who demand that Left 4 Dead continue to be fully supported and that the sequel be postponed until a later date or otherwise released for free or as an add-on or a paid expansion pack.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Oh Boy

 

Yup...it was just announced earlier today during the Microsoft press conference during this year's E3 expo.  For a while I relished not being there in the shark tank vying for a good position or time with developers to score an interview. I gotta say, this trailer had me second guessing.  This was a big surprise considering Left 4 Dead just came out at the end of last year also there was a substantial update last month, so yeah...is it too soon? Don't know, but after the jump is the company shpiel as to what the background of the sequel entails and how it compares to its predecessor.

Enjoy

Left 4 Dead TV Spot

Thanks to Joystiq.com for this video.

[if you're not psyched for a zombie filled, co-op leaning game, then you probably don't play games in the first place]
