Week 20

"Valve Software"
September 3rd 2010 @ 1:22 pm EDT




Hard Eight, Whose Back Story?, Favorite Survivor?



Hard Eight

Double the specials, quadruple the fun!



Face eight Special Infected at one time, this is double the standard number! And if that wasn’t trouble enough, we also increase the spawning frequency so it is raining Specials.



During its first release, this Mutation gained popularity through the week as people realized how much of a challenge this Mutation really was. So if you didn’t try it the first time around, give it a shot.



Whose Backstory?

Last week we asked whose back story you were most interested in for the upcoming comic. We love them all, so no one is going to be disappointed but here is how you voted. I don’t think we can attribute this split to the controller!



Votes by platform:

Xbox 360

30% Bill

28% Zoey

24% Francis

13% Louis

5% None



PC

34% Zoey

27% Bill

21% Francis

13% Louis

5% None



Favorite Survivor?

Many Left 4 Dead 2 players have played Left 4 Dead 1. For those that didn’t, you met 3 of the Left 4 Dead 1 survivors in “The Passing”. Bill is normally a bit more active… You are about to get to play all 4 of them in the upcoming DLC “The Sacrifice”. Out of all 8 Survivors, who is your favorite?



Next week's mutation: Developer’s Choice!



POLL

Favorite Survivor

Bill

Coach

Ellis

Francis

Louis

Nick

Rochelle

Zoey

Cossacks: Back to War is now available on Steam and 20% off until 9/8/2010.

To stand alone in war is extremely unpleasant. Extremely pleasant, on the other hand, is the stand-alone version Cossacks: Back to War. Containing all of the gameplay features of Cossacks: European Wars and Cossacks: The Art of War, this is a complete care package for all current and future Cossacks fans. This add-on contains 100 captivating missions taking place between the 16th and 18th centuries. In addition, two new nations, Switzerland and Hungary, are included. These countries waged war in the late Middle Ages and essentially influenced the development of European military strategies. This addition causes the second add-on of Cossacks to pass the threshold of allowed gaming fun.

The new boosters are understandable, having ways to make money is a good idea. However, it seems to be a little premature because there is not a lot of depth to the game yet. [url=http://madbohem.c...
