Where in the world do you live? In that part of the world, do they have gigantic advertisements and banners adorning the local skyscrapers? No? Well, that’s how they do it in New York, as Valve and EA’s marketing push goes into overdrive for their next collaboration, the zombie co-operative shooter Left 4 Dead.

Not only that, Bethesda have taken out the entire back page of the New York Times for a full colour advert, featuring their latest behemoth, Fallout 3.

Now that’s advertising!

Thanks Kotaku!

Are you looking forward to Left 4 Dead, the game that pits four ‘survivors’ against four ‘super zombies’, as well as a zombie horde? You aren’t? Then you haven’t seen the opening cinematic yet!

While it is indeed ‘only’ a cinematic, the actual game is even better, allowing four players to take the roles of the survivors and another four players to take on super zombie duties, trying to outwit each other in a highly co-operative multiplayer experience, while dozens of zombies run about amidst the chaos.

Oh, and it’s from Valve! Left 4 Dead releases on PC and Xbox 360 in the US on November 18th and November 21st in the UK and Europe. Can’t wait!

According to the latest Official PlayStation Magazine (OPM), Valve Software’s co-operative survival horror zombie shooter, Left 4 Dead, is headed to PlayStation 3, joining the Xbox 360 and PC platforms.

Valve’s Gabe Newell has notoriously gone on record as saying he isn’t too fond of the PlayStation 3, as a platform or as a gaming device. Valve’s ‘fondness’ for the platform was demonstrated when they set off to develop the contents of the Orange Box for PC and Xbox 360, leaving PS3 port duties to EA, their publishing partner.

It seems, once again, EA will pick up the slack and will be converting Left 4 Dead to the PS3. Hopefully this port will be a lot better than their Orange Box efforts, which left many a PS3 owner cold.
