Doc Brown came with a review for Left 4 Dead published and developed by Valve after their acquisition of Turtle Rock studio in January 2008. For those not familiar with the concept, although everyone should have heard of it by now, Left 4 Dead is a survival horror game focused on cooperative gameplay.
Anyway, you'll no doubt learn more about it in Doc's Left 4 Dead review so feel free to read it. It is there for that after all.

For the second year, the Extra Life marathon is taking place this month. The Extra Life marathon is a gathering of gamers all around the world who'll play on October 17 for 24 hours straight to raise funds for pediatric cancer research and treatment. All the funds raised go to the Texas Children's Hospital . Over $100,000 were raised during last year event and of course we expect more this time around.
Like last year, Marshall AKA "Little Bugger" from our hosted site Marshal's Machinima is participating in the event and you can reach his donation page right there. Donations are accepted until next weekend so this if you want to help the research and treatment for the kids, now is your chance.

Episodic Game Concept? Definitely Not Working For Valve. |

Just a little thought that has no other basis than the fact that I was replaying Half-Life Episode 2 the other day and that we're still without news of Episode 3, almost 2 years later. I think that it's safe to assume that Valve brilliantly demonstrated that the episodic concept is a failure regarding big projects although it works for small scale games like Telltale's Sam & Max that generated 2 seasons of respectively 6 and 5 episode released at the rate of 1 per month. But obviously, Half-Life is not Sam & Max and although Valve came with the "episodic" idea in the fist place, they failed to maintain the real meaning of the word (2 years+ of development is OK for a full game, not for a 6 hours "episode")

LucasArts and Valve announced a partnership yesterday for the digital distribution of an host of LucasArts titles. Nothing really exceptional (well aside the fact that usually LucasArts doesn't do this kind of deal) however the weird part about it is in the titles that will be distributed. You'll be able to find some fairly recent games like Star Wars Republic Commando along side some really dated titles like The Dig (that would be more fitting on another digital distribution service like GOG.com considering that this is a good and pretty *old* DOS game) or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis dating back to 1992.

After ten years of sellings their titles (starting with Half-Life in November 1998), Valve wanted us to know how good they have done on the video games market. So they compiled a list of all the retail games they sold so far, tilte by title and well, we have to admit that this is pretty impressive in some ways (and not completely unexpected). However, this list does not include the number of titles sold via Steam (for some reasons, Valve doesn't seem willing to communicate on that) and we don't know if the numbers regard only PC games or consoles as well.
