Left 4 Dead & Left 4 Dead 2

The first Left 4 Dead (L4D) was released late 2008. I originally passed this game up because I feared it would not perform well enough on my system to enjoy. After trying the demo for L4D2 a couple months ago and tweaking some settings, I grabbed them both. They have been a blast.
The games' dynamics rely heavily on your ability to function as a team and each player's performance. For example: if one player decides to rush ahead of the group and try to be a hero (or get all the zombie kills) they will most likely become "incapacitated" in some way.
For those who aren't impressed by the AI or do not care for artificial opponents, both games contain versus modes which pits a team of player controlled humans against a team of player controlled zombies.
My favorite aspect of this game: it isn't another army game clone.

BEWARE OF SUSPICIOUS CHAT INVITES

Just minutes ago I received a seemingly innocent chat request from an unfamiliar user who requested I visit a "steam-like" page. The page itself is from an outside domain, although it appears to be a group invite.
Looking rather suspicious and asking for LOGIN INFORMATION, I did a quick Google search and found the following:

WARNING! - Steam Community Virus - Hijacked accounts.

The post states:
"There is a Virus/Hack going around that is using the Steam Friends
list to Hijack your accounts.
It starts off with you getting an invite from someone that is in youre friends list
that is sending you an invite to joins Steam Group Community.
The URL will end with STEAMCOMMUNITY.TK

DO NOT ACCEPT THIS INVITE

If you do, your account get's hijacked - you will need to go here:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2347-QDFN-4366

There are already dozens of threads in the SteamPowered forums on their issue, and
looks like Valve/Steam already have their hands full.
If you get that link from someone in your friends list - email them directly if you can to alert them.
From what I've been reading - It's been taking steam's support a week plus to get back to the people who's accounts have been jacked.

Anyways - Here's your PSA - you've been warned."

The link I received was "steamsommunity.tk", notice the subtle 's'.
Regardless of the url, don't give out your login information.

The TF2 WAR update...
For the next week, Valve is promoting their WAR update for the Demoman and Soldier classes.
The basic premise is: Each time a solly kills a demo, a point goes toward the soldier class. Each time a demo kills a solly, a point goes toward the demo class. At the end of the week, the class with the most points wins an additional fourth bonus weapon along with the three new weapons they will already be receiving.
Check out the official Team Fortress website for details!

Major site overhaul. Same look with a few cosmetic improvements, and a tweaked interface.
I tried to eliminate some of the redundant menus and clunky navigation.
Hopefully these modifications will result in a more pleasant (and less confusing) browsing experience.
:D
