Whether you think they were pressured by the L4D2 complainers or not, Valve have announced the next instalment of DLC for L4D1. The new campaign will be entitled “Crash Course” and takes place between the end of “No Mercy” and the beginning of “Death Toll”, although this confuses me since I thought that all of […]

PS3 Owners, NO VALVE FOR YOU!

PS3 Owners, NO VALVE FOR YOU!

Guys, I love the PS3 as much as the next guy, but after reading an interview over at CVG, I think it’s safe to say that Valve is effectively done working on that platform. Doug Lombardi stated in the interview: “Until we have the ability to get a PS3 team together, until we find the […]

Casting Call: Left 4 Dead

Casting Call: Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead is a pretty awesome game and I’m sure that many of my fellow whores would agree. It also happens to be a great tribute to the general zombie apocalypse genre, if said genre exists and it easily feels like you’re playing a part in one of Romero’s movies. I also enjoyed reading […]

 

You’re doing it right: Black Mesa trailer may cause joy, erection

As well as being a great developer in their own right, Valve is also lucky to have one of the biggest modding communities on the internet. Some mods can be small things, or other may be big projects like this. I’m sure that you’ve already heard about Black Mesa: Source, but if you haven’t, here’s […]
