Rock, Paper, Shotgun has been playing a ton of Left 4 Dead and posting extensively about it the last few days.  They’ve posted their impressions of:
The co-op mode, where up to four players battle their way through hordes of AI-controlled zombies,
and
the versus mode, which pits the player-controlled survivors against player-controlled zombies.
If you’ve preordered, the demo […]

So, as I detailed yesterday in this post, I enslaved a cheerful scavenger, and felt like crap about it when it turned out he had no idea where to report for slave duty and ran off in the wrong direction.
I couldn’t sleep last night (not because of this — I didn’t feel that guilty) so […]

This comes from Chronos in the comments to the Fallout 3 hacking tip I tried to explain earlier today, but I got some parts of it wrong.  I didn’t realize it was always some sort of brackets, I thought it was just random characters like asterisks and pound signs and such.

Okay, I know I just posted about how I can’t talk specifics about Fallout 3, but what the hell.  I want to share a small story about it.  No major spoilers herein — this wasn’t part of a quest — though I will need to explain the mechanics of being a slave trader and how […]

It’s fantastic, especially in HD.
The Tom has also written a brief strategy guide on how to survive your first game of Left 4 Dead.  It basically boils down to this line:

Just because I’m already being hounded to somehow insert Nondrick into Fallout 3, here you go.

Keep in mind, this is NOT A PROMISE FOR A FALLOUT 3 BLOG.  I CAN BARELY KEEP THE OBLIVION ONE UPDATED, REMEMBER?
This is just a character I made today so people would stop asking me about it.

As you can see, […]

Didn’t get much playing time in last night — the game took almost three hours to download, and I played for maybe two, and a lot of that time was spent trying to tweak the settings to get the best look without my framerates suffering.  Also, I’m dealing with some weird graphics glitch not connected […]

Left4Dead411 reports that customers who preorder Left 4 Dead will get an early crack at the demo.
The offer applies to PC purchases of the game through Steam or pre-orders (for both PC and X-Box 360) from certain retailers (not sure which ones yet).  Those who pre-order will get to try out the demo on November […]

For those North (and South) Americans who are lucky enough to be at home right now, instead of stuck at a job they hate for the next seven or eight hours, Fallout 3 has just become downloadable and playable over Steam.
If this applies to you, get in there and have fun, and know that my […]
