Add this to the file "A day late and a dollar short", but there has been a mod created for Left 4 Dead, in which the zombies are replaced by Teletubbies. I suppose it is kind of cool, but overall it is just plain creepy. Oddly enough, zombies seem less frightening than raging Teletubbies.
So I heard a rumor of this mysterious "Left 5 Dead", a potential for a live action movie, with a handful of stills floating around the nets. As much as I wanted this to be true, I had horrific flash backs to every video game movie I had ever seen ("Street Fighter", "Mario Brothers", "Mortal Kombat", I could keep going...).
Well, through the magic of the Internets, I have now seen the stills collection and they are pretty awesome! I would love to see a (well produced) Left 5 Dead movie, but don't ever really see this happening. I did a little research and found out that L5D is in fact a photographic novel. You can find out some more information at their official site, Night Zero. This is a fan made "photo novel" and all the more proof that if you make quality products for your consumers they will love you for it. Take note Hollywood, if you do something like this (well produced content with the intention of making your consumers happy) your audience might pay to see your movies and not pirate them.
I purchased Left 4 Dead (PC version) around January and I really can't get enough of it. This game is so fantastically well made and the game play/replay-ability is near epic. I can't remember the last time a I played a game that held my attention span for such a great length of time (COD4 was a good contender). This game has developed such a gigantic fan base with folks that would take time to make a photo novel like Night Zero. Btw, if you haven't played or heard of L4D, it is a game where you kill zombies. There is so much more to be said but that is really all you need to know, and must experience the rest.
Go purchase L4D, and take a look at Night Zero's project. You will be very impressed with both :)
