Left 4 Dead 2 DLC now available. Too bad Xbox 360 players have to pay for it.
Posted on April 22, 2010 | No CommentsThere's pretty much no need to write this next story, especially if you're a fan, but... Valve, darling developers that they are, have released the very first DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, The Passing. I was supposed to mention this fact this morning, forgot about it, then logged into Steam to see something downloading. "What the heck is downloading? I don't remember authorizing this? Oh, it's the L4D2 DLC. Wasn't I supposed to write about that?" As you can see, I live a very exciting life.

Steam has many deals for you to peruse
Posted on November 27, 2009 | No CommentsInterrupting your Thanksgiving Day weekend (and my Team Fortress 2 Sniper marathon) with a quick deal that will appeal to many of you (I should hope).

There's a crazy, multi-day Black Friday sale going on right now that includes Left 4 Dead 2 at $37.99 (25 percent off the regular price) and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for $2.49 (75 percent off the regular price).
