Australia is well-known for its unforgiving censorship of violent games. The country's government-controlled rating system lacks an 18+ category for videogames, meaning that every game must fit the criteria of the legally-restricted MA15+ category. But those days may soon be over...
We’ve seen some stupidly cute zombies in the past (mainly killing the hell out of plants on our Apple-endorsed phones). But Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 cuddly toys really take the undead cake…
For two years now we’ve thrown health, sleep and sobriety to the wind in order to bring you GamesRadar’s 24 Hour Marathon! If you’ve missed out on the shenanigans thus far, the point of this video is to make you feel horrible about it. With the exception of StarCraft II, I sacrificed my hard drive to record everyone playing everything with me! Watch dozens of readers intentionally doing the stupidest shit imaginable in Halo 3, Red Dead Redemption, Gears of War 2, BioShock 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Blur, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Modern Warfare 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Uncharted 2. Of all the crap I've done here, this video is the thing I'm most proud of...
Valve's upcoming Cold Stream DLC for Left 4 Dead 2 aims to take the company's long history of community interaction to a new level – with a campaign, first begun by modders, being subsequently built and refined out in the community. Now that the DLC's nearing completion, it's only fitting that the community be involved in the testing process – so Valve has asked PC players to jump into the new maps and rack up as many completions as possible for stress-testing and bug-hunting. And the results were so successful, some of that DLC's being released ahead of time as a reward...
NECA picking up the rights to develop Valve figures and props was fantastic news for those of us who enjoy spending absurd amounts of money on action figures for our desk, but besides some random work-in-progress shots here and there, we haven't really seen any thing come of it. Today, however, that all changed, as the toy company has released a full, finished-looking figure of the Boomer from Left 4 Dead 2...
So you've made one of the most visually, atmospherically, and tonally faithful depictions of a video game yet commited to film. But something's missing. Then you realise. It really needs a batshit-mental, shark-jumping last act that pisses all your hard work up the wall. Brilliant!
After months in open beta on PC, the fan-made 'Cold Stream' campaign for Left 4 Dead 2 is out on PC - and coming to Xbox 360 on Friday! That's great news and a first for fan-made L4D content on Microsoft's console, but there's a snag. Unlike the PC version, it's not free...
Valve boss Gabe Newell has been caught on camera (lots of cameras, actually), explaining that Source 2 is real and is in development. It's just waiting for a game to release with. Now what could that game be...?
Not short on charming revelations, finance-bible Forbes' new article on Valve head Gabe Newell leads with a shot of the big guy himself, standing atop the company offices in Bellevue and hefting a chaingun. Sure, it's a replica – even Denis Dyack hardly ever brings genuine, loaded weapons to an interview – but the three-page profile paints Newell as one of the industry's most powerful figures, strapped or no. By his reckoning, there are standards by which Valve outperforms leaders in the tech field...
Despite breathless rumors to the contrary, Valve has come out of radio silence today to declare that no prequel to Left 4 Dead is currently in the works...
