Last last month, we told you about the final add-on for Left 4 Dead 2. It's not your usual DLC, though. This isn't Valve-developed, but rather Valve-sanctioned. It's a fan-made update, but it also has gotten the blessing (and promotion) fr...

[Update: The Left 4 Dead 2 tie-in for Dying Light is a weapon pack, as expected. A four-day in-game event starting October 24 includes "an increased number of Virals, waves of attacking hordes, an intensifying fight for survival, along with...

It's a tale nearly 10 years old at this point: Valve's fans are a constantly dejected lot, never really willing to get their hopes too high anymore. Why would they? Valve has shown no inclination to make Half-Life 3, Portal 3, or Left 4 De...

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how incredible The Orange Box was? The bundle brought Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal to a lot of households that might not have otherwise played all three games. I never did send the garden ...

It's sad that Australian gamers are only now getting an uncensored version of Left 4 Dead 2, but at least we finally have some closure. After resubmitting the cooperative zombie shooter for classification, Valve is now able to sell an R18+ ...

Zoey. It was Zoey! I would have never guessed she was the third mystery character teased for Super Time Force Ultra following Pyro and Saxton Hale from Team Fortress 2, but it makes sense in retrospect. The Left 4 Dead star brings her dual ...

What if Valve made their own Super Smash Bros. game, but with characters from Dota 2, Half-Life, Portal, Counter-Strike, and Left 4 Dead? What if?!
