Almost as if it were a promotional tie in (though more likely it’s just for Halloween), Valve announced today that their popular first person shooter Left 4 Dead 2 would be free to play this weekend. It just happened to be on the same day that we announced the Kickstarter for our zombie documentary Doc of the Dead!
While not technically zombies, the infected in Left 4 Dead 2 certainly fit somewhere in the genre. In any case, the game is a ton of fun, especially if you can find a few friends to play co-op with. The included campaigns are obviously a blast, but it’s the user created levels that really make the game shine. There really is an endless amount of content for the game, so experience as much as you can this weekend!
Valve typically will offer a discount on their free weekend titles as well. Though it hasn’t been announced yet, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it available for $4.99.
If you’re a zombie fan and haven’t yet picked the game up, there’s really no better time. With all the money you’ll be saving, why not go check out a certain Kickstarter page?
Check out Left 4 Dead 2 on the Steam Store. The free weekend will start Thursday at 10AM.
