Valve unlocked Left for Dead 2 at midnight, on November 17th, for those who pre-ordered, and pre-loaded the game. I somehow forgot this fact, despite having done the former and latter, so the first thing I did when I got home tonight was play the game. Though I have only had time to play a for few hours, it’s defintely going to be my new gaming addiction. As said, in our review of the demo, L4D 2 takes all that you loved from the first game (you did buy the…

Remade in the NES retro style, the resolution is at 256 x 240 and features 16 colors and a 4 sound channel soundtrack. Now, let’s just get this out of the…

There’s no secret that some of us here are huge fans of the zombie-blasting multi-player game Left 4 Dead, proving an exception to the Max Brooks rule. You can see why this is of some import to those of us who just don’t want to wait until November 17th to get our melee-style zombie smashing on.

With so much going on around Fan Expo this year, I almost forgot to post about a special event coming up. Luckily I ran into Thea Munster at a Fan Expo concert (more on the ban coming soon) to remind me. This year, besides the main Toronto Zombie Walk, there’ll be a Special Director’s Cut, bringing the dead out to play for an extra day… On October 1st, 1968 George A. Romero, Director of Night of the Living Dead, made “Zombies” a horrific house hold name. On September 12, 2009,…

If the name alone doesn’t convince you that this is possibly the greatest game of all time, then know this – Plants vs Zombies is from those fine purveyors of digital crack – PopCap games – the creators of Peggle ! If you still need more convincing you can read a review here. You can download the FREE trial for the PC (only, so far) here.

For all you zombie fans out there comes this message from Thea Munster of Toronto Zombie Walk fame… Have you been lying in your casket for far too long?

The 2008 Toronto Zombie Walk is in the books.
