"He's big, dumb, and full of love, and even comes with button-activated grunting, belching, barfy sound effects straight from the game. I don't know how they managed to make disgusting, slimy stomach protrusions look so huggable, but they did."
Apparently throwing on some torn, bloody clothes for the Minnesota's annual "Zombie Pub Crawl" is no longer that impressive. Complete with the entire first cast of survivors AND boss infected from the first Left 4 Dead, any fan of the game will immediately crack a smile at this collection of pics.
"Hello. My name is Jeremy Bennett, and I'm an artist at Valve. Most gamers only ever get to see the finished product of a game cover, so we thought some of you might find it interesting to hear the process that led to Left 4 Dead's final art.

"Ryan and Dave, two friends of mine, got this custom made for my 22nd birthday in honor of BOTH L4D's release and my birthday (which happened to be on the same date!)."
As the season of romance gets closer and closer, people are finding different ways to express their love or recognition for their own special someone. beavotron from the Penny Arcade forums decided to produce his own gamer themed Valentines - and no, unlike VGCats' Scott Ramsoomair, the variety of games is not limited to Nintendo!

Jason Michaels of collegehumor.com has made quite the comical article indeed. Editing the cover art for certain games, he chose ten games to murder with puns.
Some of them are pointing out rather funny truths, others are just plain rude!
Since Left 4 Dead has been censored in Germany, it was only a matter of time before the box-art was censored too. Below is an image showing the original box-art (featuring a bitten-off thumb) and to the right is an image showing Germany's censored version (which includes the thumb).
It's certainly an odd change. Fair enough if they need to censor the artwork, but now it's just a picture of a regular ol' hand. Wouldn't it have made more sense to include the thumb, but add a bandage and a b...
In classic zombie fashion- Left 4 Dead's box art is amazing-typical of any "of the Dead", "... Dead", or Any George A. Romaro film or video game.
