Fitting in with the apparent retro 8-bit feel around here, this is a pretty creative little video, featuring the city of New York under attack from the best of the 80s!

Left 4 Dead 2 vs. Team Fortress 2

Friday, April 9th, 2010

I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone ported the maps between these two games. We’ve already had plenty of examples of this in the past, such as the western front being transported to the deserts as de_dust became a Day of Defeat favourite. However, this port differs slightly in actually making use of the mechanics of Badwater Basin’s payload rules, having the survivors attempt to fuel the cart to its destination, under attack from the zombie hordes. Not quite sure the mood got carried over though!

Source Wars: Day of Defeat vs. The Hidden

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

As part of their little series pairing off various Source-engine games and mods, machinima.com contributors Xanatos and the Janus Syndicate set up a match between The Hidden and the Wehrmacht from Day of Defeat: Source. The Germans fare about as well as we used to. Watching this actually brings back fond memories of the original Aliens vs. Predator!

Left 16 Dead Server Hack

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Ever wondered why Valve restricted Left 4 Dead to just four players? Aside from the fact that they could make a catchy title out of it? This video shows a server hacked to allow a bit of extra support to join. Well, I say a bit, the zombies even find themselves outnumbered at some points. But aside from the worse pings, lack of tension, outnumbered zombies, and the hours waiting for people to enter the safe house, it seems L4D could at least technically cope with it. So if you’re finding the game hard, one of these servers just might be for you!
