Also the Four Pack deal (where you purchase four Steam codes of the game at once) is also still available for the 10 percent discount which means you can pay for four copies for the price of less than three in the current price promotion.

The deal is if you pre-order Valve's upcoming zombie shooter sequel Left 4 Dead 2, not only do you gain early access to the game's demo and pay 10 percent off its regular price but if you also happen to own Valve's multiplayer shooter Team Fortress 2 you get an extra in-game bonus.

Valve: Left 4 Dead 2 DLC mentions just placeholders
Faliszek states that the DLC mentions in the Left 4 Dead 2 code were in fact put in as a simulation for testing on Microsoft's Xbox 360 console. Of course that doesn't mean Valve won't do DLC for Left 4 Dead 2. It just means that the DLC titles in the code are likely not the ones they will use once they get DLC ready for the game.
Feature: Left 4 Dead 2 Demo Impressions

As we did last year for the original game we are offering up some quick impressions of the Left 4 Dead 2 demo release which features two levels in the game's introductory Parish campaign.
Feature: How 10 US cities will fare in the zombie apocalypse

The original game from Valve takes place in areas of Pennsylvania while Left 4 Dead 2 is in New Orleans and the surrounding Louisiana area. But what if the zombie apocalypse hit other US cities like they did in Valve's games? We decided to look at 10 such cities and postulate what would be the good, the bad and the worse thing that could happen to those cities if flesh-eating folks invaded. For how other cities around the world would do the same thing check out Game Daily's sister feature.

Left 4 Dead 2 PC demo still not out but Steam updates go live
Although we are still waiting for the demo, Valve has updated the Steam client that fixes some Windows 7 issues. Steam has also added an email confirmation system for security reasons for people who want to change their contact info, password and other items on their account.
No Left 4 Dead 2 demo until Wednesday morning for some? [Update]
Some people on the Steam forums have shown photos of the coupon when they pre-ordered the game from GameStop that indicated the demo wouldn't be released until 11 pm Pacific Time tonight. If that's true, that means people in the Eastern Time zone won't get the demo unlocked until 2 am Wednesday. We have emailed Valve to get a better sense of when they plan to unlock the demo for Steam users.
Update: Valve has now posted word on their Steam site that the PC demo will be released on Wednesday. There's no explanation as to why there is a delay.

Left 4 Dead 2 subject of Flash-based viral marketing game
The site's Infected Fury Month will turn some of the site's players into zombies while others are turned into human survivors. Naturally the zombie players want to inflect others (your profile and avatar page gets all bloody and gory when this happens) while the survivors try to find more of their kind (represented by a silver shield on your profile page). Of course we like our zombie games straight up with a shotgun, thank you very much.
