It was inevitable. We knew it was coming, it was really just a matter of time. Well, now that time has come, and as gamers we may very well be the only force humanity has for countering the nearing zombie threat. In films the fat kid with a joystick in one hand and a Snickers in the other is usually one of the first to get eaten alive. We think that because he has trouble getting off the couch he couldn’t kick some undead ass if he truly wanted to. But behind that acne-ridden face is the mind of a killer, honed to perfection over years of mercilessly ripping apart zombies made up of bytes and sprites.
It’s up to us; I’m calling every nerd, geek, loner, and social outcast to ask yourself: are you adequately prepared for the coming zombie apocalypse? If you answered no, read this article and you by the time you finish you will be as prepared as I am for in it contains all my knowledge gathered over a lifetime of undead kickassery. If you answered yes, read it anyways, I could use the views. ...Read More
So hopefully by now you have spent at least 1 night this week awake and destroying zombies for hours with some friends. Left 4 Dead 2 is out, and there is enough new fun stuff to keep you busy for a while.
Something you can look forward to is level specific zombies, and weather, objectives, etc. For instance, in Hard Rain they take the south's wonderful hurricane weather, and they nail you with it. I mean just destroy you. Cars flipping over, flooding, epic downpours, thunder and lighting. And they really drowns out the sound of oncoming zombies. ...Read More

Yes, it's EXACTLY what it sounds like. Left 4 Dead has been remade into an 8-Bit Nintendo style wonder. As of right now the infected are a little slow moving as compared to the actual game. And so far there is only a boomer roaming around, but creator Eric Ruth says the rest of the special infected with be added later on. Check it out below.
The game will be available for free download on the PC January 4th. Looks like for right now you can play 2 player co-op, and you can pick from all 4 Left 4 Dead characters. Eric has said all levels from Left 4 Dead will be in the game. I can't wait!!
So for you old school hardcore Resident Evil fans, this will be a treat. Some of you may recall back in the days of Resident Evil 2, if you were to beat the game Leon A, Claire B, Leon A, Claire B, Leon A, Claire B, you would unlock "Tofu". Now that was the easy way to get Tofu. And take what I say about easy with a grain of salt. If you wanted to do it the "hard" way, you would do it reverse. Claire A, Leon B, Claire A, Leon B, Claire A, Leon B. Yes, you beat the game 6 times.
What does it all mean? The A's and B's? Well depending on who you started the game with, Leon, or Claire, when you would pick the other person, the game would change. Either way, you have to beat it back and forth 6 times to unlock Tofu. Some of you are wondering, wtf is Tofu, I don't get it. You get to throw Tofu or some shit at the enemies? No friends, please, step inside..... ...Read More
So Tuesday is the day. Grab your shotguns, your machetes, your pre-ordered baseball bats. Find your friends, your family, and strangers hiding in the shadows. Help each other stay alive. Don't forget to crouch if you run out firing in front of your friends, so you don't get shot in the back. Throw molitovs a safe distance away from your teammates.
Left 4 Dead 2 comes out on Tuesday for the 360 and PC, and we thought we would give you the chance you offer up your Xbox Live Gamertag, and your Steam account name, in case you wanted to join up with other BD members in zombie killing madness.

Yes folks, already a new Dead Pixels Podcast is up and ready for your ears! So go on and download it. This week we chat a bit about what games we have been playing. Expect another podcast to hit next Monday, all about Left 4 Dead 2. Hear what we thought about the game after playing the hell out of it.
Visceral Games, creators behind the most amazing Dead Space had their newest creation Dante's Inferno turned anime. The same people who made Ghost In The Shell, and several other anime classics are behind the movie. You can check out the trailer for it below.
Also coming this December, you can stay inside to hide from the snow (depending on where you live) and you can take a nice hot trip into hell with the Dante's Inferno demo. The "Gates Of Hell" demo will allow you to play your way through the entire 1st level of the game..... ...Read More
Fort Zombie was just released for the PC on Halloween, and there is already an update that just came out to make the game a little more awesome. Included in the update is additional weapons, expanded town properties, and new mission locations.
On top of those the update to Fort Zombie will enhance a variety of game aspects across the board, introducing more sound options, a mid-mission healing system, and improved interactions with weapons and other game objects. You can buy the game online for the PC right now for only $9.99.
A long while back I posted a teaser trailer for Black Mirror 2. It was basically a slide show, and didn't really reveal much about the game. Well this trailer, which you can watch below doesn't reveal much either.
What I could figure out, was that the game revolves around the character Darren, who works at a local photo shop in Biddeford New England. The game takes place in the 1990's, 12 years after the 1st game. Darren meets Angelina while working at the photo shop, and becomes interested in her. But at the same time, so does his boss, whom Darren is not a fan of. And it gets more unclear as there is a 3rd person who catches her interest. And this leads Darren to investigate why exactly this 3rd party is following Angelina. Nothing much else is known, except that this leads Darren to a few not so kosher places. I will fill you in on more details, as I can find them.
It's that time again. A new episode of the Dead Pixels Podcast is up and ready for you to listen to. In this episode are good friend Rdubbs (Ryan) stops by, and him, Reset (Kiel) and I chat solely about Left 4 Dead 2, and Killing Floor. Dubbs and I go off the rails, while Kiel tries to keep the podcasting train on the right track. Make sure you send us some emails, maybe post a comment and let us know what you think.
Also, the Dead Pixels blog finally got its own BD Wire, which will promptly be called the DP Wire. So make sure you check out the Dead Pixels Wire for all the big stories as they roll in. Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening!
If you haven't played the demo, normally I would say sucks for you. But this is one of those games where the demo is such a brutal tease, you crave the game. You want it. You toss and turn at night dreaming of zombie outbreaks. You wake up in a cold sweat wondering, "was I dreaming?"
Left 4 Dead 2 features 4 new main characters, Coach, a high-school football coach, Rochelle, a news reporter for a local television station, Ellis, a mechanic, and Nick a gambler and conman. The new group of zombie killers will start their journey in Savannah, Georgia and end in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Head past the break for screens and excellent new game features. ...Read More

I know what you're thinking, a sports game where zombies play each other in some type of zombie soccer league? Nope. But I definitely thought the same thing. You basically take on the role of a guy that looks like he is in The Gorillaz, as he uses his soccer skillz to destroy zombies. You can see for yourself in the trailer below.
The team that made the game is amazingly enough called "The Super Awesome Hyper Dementional Team". It consists of bigs in the industry who decided to join together to make exactly what their name implies. Games under their belts include: Plants vs. Zombies, Worms, Vin Diesel´s Wheelman, Terminator, Crush, Buzz, EyeToy Play series and Doodle Hex, among others. ...Read More
With Left 4 Dead 2 less than a 2 weeks away, it's time we started getting excited. I myself can't wait to get back that feeling a got the first time I jumped online with 3 of my friends, grabbed a shotgun and went to town on some zombies. The 1st time I got punched in the face by a tank. Barfed on by a boomer. Or the many times I threw a molotov at an enemy and lit a friend up instead.
Or let us not forget when I was dying and in need of revival. "I'll heal you!" said MrDisgusting. He proceeded to accidentally heal himself and shoot me dead. Just a small taste of the endless hours of fun had in Left 4 Dead. Past the break for screens and more... ...Read More
