Left4dead…. 2!!

Holy sh!t - left4dead was one of the best games to come out of the PC in the previous years and now we’ll be treated to more zombie genocide with the announcement of a sequel from Valve!
It is reported to be scheduled for release on November 17th, Will contain five new campaigns that continues the story from the first installment as well as new weapons! (what’s a zombie game without a chainsaw?).

The L4D community on steam has also been abuzz with the recent news, hoping that there would be backwards compatibility, the excitement and anticipation grows as the days pass, certainly there are some who can’t wait to get their hands on the new installment, credit to the fact that the first game’s story had them longing for more.

*Note on the cover image:PC Gamer will have an 8-page feature in their August issue!
