Left 4 Dead screenshot
Ugh. Rock, Paper, Shotgun has a selection of gameplay videos from the highly anticipated Valve game, Left 4 Dead, which is a 4-person coop shooter, pitting you and your mates against hordes of zombies.

Zombies, in dark places. Fast zombies, too, unfortunately, which shows how the gaming industry is matching steps with the Hollywood machine. Instead of Romero-zombies, we've got to deal with angry Dawn-of-the-Dead-remake zombies. What the hell

Age of Conan is a popular MMORPG centered on the universe described in the Conan the Barbarian comic book series. The comic was originally written in the 30s, but has undergone many treatments, including a reimagining of the original stories and a movie featuring the governor of California.

Developer Funcom released a patch recently to address some minor issues, but a side effect of the patch is that it reduced the size of the breasts of female avatars. Games, noted for their preference for playing skinny girls with big breasts, armed in useless, showy armour and wielding a weapon designed to cause maximum jiggle, were distraught at the changes
