New Left 4 Dead PC patch hits the scene
If you’ve been laying Left 4 Dead’s Crash Course campaign you may have noticed that you are unable to let survivors out of rescue doors in Versus mode. Today, Valve has announced that a new patch has been pushed out that will effectively fix this problem and let the zombie slaying madness continue.
Among other minor bug fixes, this patch also gives server owners the ability to designate a maximum ping for players on their server.

Vavle to pour $25 million into Left 4 Dead 2 ad campaign
It was recently made known that Valve is preparing to launch a $25 million Left 4 Dead 2 advertisement campaign in hopes of hyping up the zombie FPS. To put this into comparison, Vavle spent about $10 million on the ad campaign for the original Left 4 Dead, so you can see they are a bit more serious about its sequel.
The decision to put such a heavy chunk of change into L4D2 most likely came about after it was made known that it was pre-ordered a tremendous amount more than the original.
Expensive ad campaign or not, you’re still not going to be able to get your hands on Left 4 Dead 2 until its November 17th release date for the Xbox 360 and PC.

Halo 3 Kills Outnumber World Population
The level of violence in a video game isn’t always directly correlated to its body count. Your average Star Wars game has little content anyone could object to while a single round of Mortal Kombat is filled with more potential parental complaints than any other game with only a single corpse left behind.
Some parents or advocacy groups might be disturbed to know that in the 565 days since the release of Halo 3 over ten billion covenant have been killed in the campaign mode. That means since the game’s launch over 12,000 aliens have been killed every minute. If you laid the corpses end on end they’d create a chain that wrapped around the earth 456 times, although it’d probably be shorter due to the many covenant who were blown into tiny pieces.
