Valve’s Left 4 Dead gets a final packshot


Packshots are a funny thing. Most of the time what we have is a quick bit of photoshopping that could have been done by a 5 year old using MS Paint. That is if a 5 year old can use MS Paint, we are still awaiting confirmation at time of publication.

Back to the topic, Left 4 Dead is Valve’s new baby with a huge amount of gamers all wanting to play a survival zombie horror title with a difference, online co-op is the name of the game. Today we had through the packshot for the November release title and instead of getting the cheap packshots we would normally expect we got through something awesome. That can be found above.

To those who go into a store and look at the cover to pick the title it should be an instant winner. To gamers in the know it should be an even more obvious choice. There is only one thing that could be improved upon that would remind us of the old Nintendo star of quality valued in the 90’s. That would be to change the title to have Valve written all over the top of the packaging in really big letters rather than at the bottom since all real gamers know what to expect when they play a Valve title.

We await Left 4 Dead and look forward to it’s release in November.

Poultrygeist - You’ll Never Eat Chicken Again

Let me preface this blog by saying I know Lloyd Kaufman and his beautiful wife Pat. Lloyd has headed up Troma Entertainment since its inception in 1974 and is presently topper of the Independent Film and Television Alliance (one of the most powerful and respected alliances in Hollywood today), while his wife Pat is in charge of the New York State Film Board.

But I have to admit, with movies like ‘The Toxic Avenger’ and ‘Cannibal! The Musical’ among MANY others under his belt, Lloyd and crew are some of the weirdest folks on the planet.

Segue into their latest movie which opens in New York (The Village East Theater) on May 9th and LA (The Laemmle Sunset 5) on June 13th - ‘Poultrygeist, Night of The Chicken Dead.’

The film blends the feather ruffling politics of ‘Fast Food Nation’, the satire of ‘Shaun of The Dead’ and the show-stopping musical numbers of ‘Spring Awakening’ to skewer the fast food industry, limousine liberals, and almost everyone else in American society.
