RKRigney | November 02, 2008 | Blog | Misc

SlapStic.com goes over the 5 biggest gaming stories of the week in this weekly article series. The IGN Fallout 3 review changes, Chrono Trigger Proposal, Left 4 Dead intro video and more are discussed.

Left 4 Dead Intro Video

I can't even begin to describe how hyped I am for this game. I usually tend to avoid getting sucked into the hype machine for games, but I won't lie: I've fallen for Left 4 Dead. I've sent out tweets on my Twitter inviting anyone who reads this blog to add me on Xbox Live, so we can play through the co-op on day one. It actually comes out 3 days before my birthday, and I'm strongly considering celebrating early just to get people together for it. In fact, you, the guy reading this, my gamertag is Baconation. Send me a request and I'll chat it up with ya. I've become the world's biggest Valve fanboy, and I don't care if anyone thinks less of me or this site because of it.

Left 4 Dead is going to be the best game this year, hands down.

    I comprehended your point, I just found it (typically) idiotic.
    
    And you implied that IGN took it out because it was bullshit, not because Bethesda asked them.

      _{No, actually first I said maybe they took it down knowing it was BS, or bethesda(similar to how the Kane and Lynch video review) took it down due to inaccuracies. Then you came in stating "What does that game have to do with this?" Which again was my point that maybe bethesda took it down kinda like Eidos with Kane and Lynch Video Review(since they asked them).
      Learn to comprehend. I've stated all the possible reasons why this had happened, since you asked me a question from my first comment then stated what it had to do with this.}

      Could you put that into coherent English? Your wall'o'text isn't very easy on the eyes, neither is that queer font.
      
      Thanks.

I won't be getting Fallout 3, so the review fiasco doesn't bother me.

As for the rest of the article...nothing important to me. So I'll leave now.
