With each chapter of Left 4 Dead being its own story with a cinematic gameplay style, if there was ever a game that needed to be made into a movie, it’s this one. However, without a good director, writer, and cast the Left 4 Dead movie would fall victim to the same fate as most other game to movie transitions. So let’s look at who should take on the task of turning the Death Toll campaign into a movie.
Riot Games is on a roll as they announced that downloads of their PC game League of Legends in North America and Europe have surpassed the million mark.

If you didn’t know already, Zhu Zhu Pets are the latest kids’ toy craze - think Tickle Me Elmo from oh, 10 years ago? Activision’s game of the Zhu Zhu Pets franchise will include a limited edition “Baxter” baby hamster toy in what they’re dubbing a Collector’s Edition box, while supplies last.
In the game, players will take care of and race their hamsters in mazes, collecting “carrots, coins and new hamster friends and babies.” What kiddies won’t care to know is that mom and pop will be shelling out no more than what most most other new DS games cost — it’s $29.99 for this toy-included collector’s package.
After the jump, check out what this baby hamster will look like with a box shot and some screens of the game itself.

Dark Void has a lot in common with that old Disney movie, The Rocketeer. They were good foundations that tried to follow through on grand ideas, but fell short. In the case of Dark Void, the story, characters, and setting are all solid foundations that are interesting and fun to experience until the game basically felt like it ran out of ideas.
It’s sad because the game had a lot of potential for the one-man rocket aerial combat situations which arrive a little too late and don’t help to keep the game’s foundation secured. Dark Void is more of a rental than purchase, and the missions that were enjoyable early on quickly become tedious.
