    Yes….this week….prepare to be scared witless.  It’s time for the launch of Left 4 Dead 2 by the superb Valve.

    Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008.

    This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns.

    You’ll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you’ll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan.

    You’ll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You’ll also encounter five new “uncommon” common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen.

    Helping to take L4D’s frantic, action-packed gameplay to the next level is AI Director 2.0. This improved Director has the ability to procedurally change the weather you’ll fight through and the pathways you’ll take, in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match your performance. L4D2 promises a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience every time the game is played, custom-fitted to your style of play.

    Cant wait……..take a look at these screenshots to get you in the mood.

    Over the weekend, I was reviewing web press and latest industry announcements.  On Gamasutra I noted the 50 most anticipated games.  Take a look here.  http://tinyurl.com/m829xt

    There are certainly some classics in waiting.  Like most of you, I cant wait to play Halo 3: ODST, New Super Mario Bros Wii and God of War 3.  This information on the most wanted is based on the latest tracking study provided to Gamasutra by OTX’s GamePlan Insights, (based on a metric system that records the likelihood of people buying the latest games).

    It was also great to see 12 of the top 50 games are EA games/ EA Partners Published Games.  Full credit to the EA Development Teams and EA Partners.

    Number 7        Left 4 Dead 2              X360

    Number 9        Madden NFL 2010      X360

    Number 13      Madden NFL 2010      PS3

    Number 25      Mass Effect 2             X360

    Left 4 Dead was one of last years best games.  Scary, oh yes.  Immersing, oh yes.  Fun, yes yes yes.  What made it cool it was a genuine co-op game that you needed the help of your friends to survive the onslaught.  Hence the news that Left 4 Dead 2 is coming is nail bitingly exciting.  Great work by Valve’s awesome Development team.

    A couple of screen shots to whet your appetite and the awesome trailer by Valve revealed at E3. Please remember age limits when viewing.
