Imagine you’re being chased by a horde of people who have lost the ability to distinguish between brains and cocaine-laced chocolate pudding in a bowl shaped like your head. Now you can experience the joy of being vomited upon, thrown into walls and strangled alongside, and sometimes by, your closest friends.
Welcome to New Orleans.

While we’re just a couple of hours away from the release of Left 4 Dead 2 (midnight Eastern time), a developer by the name of Eric Ruth is working on his own version of the original L4D. Only his version is an 8-bit NES-style title.

It’s November again, and you gamers know what that means. Christmas releases are coming, and the hype is already here.
I don’t like being disappointed by Christmas releases, so I learned long ago to be a pessimist about such things. As I got better at it, I started saving money by not buying the terrible games with a lot of Christmas advertising. And now I’m going to pass the holiday savings on to you!

Earlier tonight at a press event in San Francisco, Valve unveiled a brand new multiplayer (versus) mode to be included in Left 4 Dead 2. Scavenge is the name of the game; and if you thought your L4D experiences were frantic before, well..you had every right to, it’s not like you knew about this yet. Onward to the details!

When E3 2009 coverage ended not that long ago, I was left in a very serious predicament. Like every year, I was inundated with way more must-have games than I will be able to afford. Which leaves me with no other option but to become an infamous jewel thief to make ends meet. The FBI agents attempting to track me down during my electrifying world-wide crime spree will dub me “The Koala,” because I’ll leave a single Eucalyptus leaf at the scene of every heist. Also, because I’ll dress like a Koala and make Koala noises while I steal shit.
There were so many games at E3 this year, I even made a list of the games I feel compelled to purchase. It’s not set in stone; I might scratch a game off for bad reviews, or because I hear that all the voice work is done by Kathy Griffin. Check my list out after the jump.
