View it here.

Left 4 Dead 2 is released for pre-purchase today, 2nd October, and is available here.

Quote from steampowered.com:

Starting now, those who pre-order L4D2 via Steam will receive early access to the Left 4 Dead 2 demo (currently targeted for October 27) plus an exclusive in-game item – the American baseball bat, one of the 10 new melee weapons included in the game.

In addition, Steam is offering a 10% savings to those who pre-order.

Finally! It’s here! The new background!

And it’s all thanks to laban! Or “nub” as he’s called here. Enjoy!

Hello! It’s been a while!

Valve just released a new DLC for Left 4 Dead, called Crash Course. This is a new campaign for co-op, single-player, and multiplayer (versus). It is the “missing link” in the story, from when you took the helicopter from the roof of No Mercy hospital, to the beginning of Death Toll.

A new, long campaign you say? That is where you are wrong. This is the perfect map for anyone wanting a quick coop/VS match. The campaign contains two different maps/parts. They do not last for long, and are littered with weapons, gas cans, propane tanks, etc. It seems like the amount of guns you normally find in 5 parts, you now find in 2 parts. So you can imagine, it’s pretty often.

In part one, you have to shoot with an anti tank-gun to get to the safe room. This, of course, alerts all the Infected that you’re in the area, and they come rushing in two waves. The usual deal you find in many of the parts in Left 4 Dead. Great fun, with an MG and all!

In part two, at the end, you have to hold in the use key, in order to do the objective, which is to start the generator. I have, currently, only played it once, but right before the second tank, you have to power it up again. Atleast that’s what we had to do. :p

All in all, it’s a fun campaign, which doesn’t last very long. Too bad the achievements you unlock currently gets locked again when you restart Left 4 Dead. It doesn’t save.

Also, Left 4 Dead is 50% off! If you don’t have this game, it is recommended that you get it. Click here to buy!
