left-4-dead-3 posts

As it does every year, Spike TV's annual Video Game Awards pretty much make the actual awards ceremony secondary next to all of the world premiere trailers that reveal mostly unannounced games. In the latest TV commercial promoting the December 11 event it looks like an image slipped in that may or may not be one of those unannounced games.

As you can see from the image above it would seem like its a zombie-based game with some speculating it could be related to Valve's Left 4 Dead series (which refer to its zombies as "infected" in its game universe). The bottom right hand corner has "1 of 3" that set up to be upside down. What does it all mean? Is it a hint about an announcement for Left 4 Dead 3 or is it something else? Stay tuned.

We were sure that when the Midnight Riders web site went live the fictional Southern rock band in Left 4 Dead 2 was going to be featured in some kind of expansion pack for the zombie co-op shooter. While that hasn't happened (at least not yet) the band has popped up yet again with a last minute Christmas tune.

The song is titled "All I Want For Christmas is to Kick Your Ass" and while it's not as catchy as, say, "Silent Night" it's certainly in keeping with the band's general attitude towards life. We are still hoping to actually play these guys in a Left 4 Dead 2 expansion or perhaps in Left 4 Dead 3 (because you know Valve must be at least thinking about it).
