Valve’s Doug Lombardi told Joystiq that a demo for Left for Dead 2, will be arriving sometime before the final game is released, which ships on November 17, 2009. Although this isn’t surprising news considering the original game received a demo as well for the Xbox 360 and Steam, last year. However, unlike the first game, customers who pre-order the horror/first-person shooter will get early access to the demo and those who don’t, will have to wait a tad longer.

A little earlier in the week, Lombardi spoke with OXM and he felt if Valve released a demo, that would make some of the people who planned to boycott the game, give in and buy it. He believes all they have to do is give it a try. From there that select group of people would then be sold and feel the title is worth the full price tag.

Although, let’s face it — must of those people who are planning to boycott the title, won’t actually do it. These same people are probably disappointed with the studio, but when Left 4 Dead 2 is finally out in stores, I believe they’re still going to buy it. Of course, they would never admit it. But seriously, if their hardcore enough to post their concerns on the Valve message board, that only makes them to hardcore and couldn’t actually resist buying the second installment.

We here at /gamer would like to wish everyone in America a happy 4th of July and hope everyone had a safe and eventful holiday.

If you don’t live in the States, it’s still July 4th — so I guess you can still celebrate it. Right?

A few days ago, we told you about an awesome bundle Best Buy was offering. For only $399, you can get LittleBigPlanet, the Pixar film WALL-E on Blu-ray and a 80GB PlayStation 3. Not a bad deal right? Well, the same retailer looks like they have even a better one on sale now.

For the same price, Kotaku is reporting from Best Buy employees that the company is selling a PS3 but packaged with Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4. Just like the other bundle, if you choose to buy this, you will save about $90.

Could this be a sign that the heavily rumored ‘PS3 Slim‘ is indeed coming because companies are trying to get of their old stock of systems? Possibly…

The kid up top has decided to dance to the Mii Channel theme and had the balls to put it on the Internet. Why? I’m not sure, but after watching; I think this is 100 times better than that Soulja Boy dance. Plus, the kid can actually dance and chicks dig that talent. Although, do they like it when we grind on them to Nintendo Wii music? No? Damn.

Media Molecule has been no slouch when it comes to creating new downloadable content for their hit game, LittleBigPlanet. We’ve seen countless packages of original content and on occasion seen licensed products make its way to the videogame. While most of it has been cool, especially the Metal Gear pack — I would like to see more well known DLC themes.

Today, the talented studio is teasing their fans of a possible Ghostbusters pack. If you head to their official website, you’ll notice a picture with a black background and white font that reads “Who ya gonna call?” Obviously, that is from the Ghostbusters’ theme song, which was song by Ray Parker Jr. If this tease is in fact a Ghostbusters theme, imagine the possibilities.

Not only could we dress up SackBoy in the well known tan uniform; with the logo and all, but they could actually add the proton pack to the DLC. Remember, when the Metal Gear LBP download was released, Media Molecule added the paintball gun. Because of that, it would be feasible to think we could see the Ghostbusters‘ weapon of choice included to the DLC. Heck, they could even add the Ray Parker Jr. Ghostbusters theme song — now that would kick ass.

Of course, this is nothing but pure speculation on my part, hell they might not even release anything that has to do with the Ghostbusters. Although, this tease makes it seem like it will happen, and the company is going to reveal soon.

Whatever it is, there is no question it will be some kind of downloadable content. If you head over to the company’s flickr page, you will see the same image above, but with a few logo’s — however, none of them indicate Ghostbusters. But where the ‘tags’ are on the page, the only one listed reads; ‘dlc‘.

I’ve been thinking about what kind of car I would get if I were to get buy one sometime soon. I’m not going to lie, I’m not huge about any particular vehicle, I really just want something that goes from point ‘A’ to ‘B.’ Although, these pictures that I’m posting might have just changed my mind.

TheCoolHunter released images of these MINI Coopers, which have a Space Invaders and Pac-Man theme design and as of now, the cars are sadly not available. According to the site, this is all part of a project and to be honest, I don’t think these pictures are even real and they are probably just concept art. But it sounds there is a small possibility that someone is working on these designs as we speak, and maybe could happen one day. If so, sign me up!

We should also note, that these pictures are being mistakenly credited towards artist Matt Moore. However, Gamedaily has confirmed that Moore is denying such an involvement and as of now, we don’t know who actually made them.

The new PSP Go isn’t just a smaller, UMDless version with a new design; it actually has a faster processor. According to some FCC documents, which were filed by Sony and uncovered by Sony Insider, the PSP Go’s processor is about 40% faster than its predecessor. The original unit was capable of about 333MHz, while the newest device, which comes out later this year, can reach 480MHz.

What does this all mean? We’re not to sure, actually. They might have just raised the speed to use PSP Go features like accesses to an in-game XMB. However, it could definitely make a difference in-terms of games and maybe one day we could see PSP Go exclusives. Although, if that were the case, don’t expect to see anything anytime soon. In fact, even though the portable system can reach faster speeds, I think Sony will most likely lock it to the current 333MHz, much like they did when the PSP first came out.

If the company feels like they need to sell more PSP Go units, that is when we could most likely see the increase of speeds and exclusives.

Man, 505 Games does everything they can possibly do to make a quick buck, eh? Last year, the company announced they would be developing a Michael Phelps swimming game, right after the athlete had nothing but hoopla surrounding him after he won billion gold medals at the Olympics. The publisher also looks like they are big into using famous brand names and throw a title together in hopes to create a little extra cash. See their ‘Discovery Channel Kids‘ games on the DS.

Today, the Los Angeles based company has announced that they are working with Paramount Digital Entertainment, to bring us a Grease game. Yes, the same 70’s musical that made John Travolta a star, is finally after all these years getting a videogame adaption. What, you’re not excited?

The company has confirmed that Grease will be available for both the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS, which I assume the company hopes they can take advantage of the casual gamer. Everybody knows the casual gamer who owns a Wii, LOVES Grease.

Supposedly, Grease will fully take advantage of the Wiimote and players will be able to sing and dance along their former idols; Danny, Sandy, The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds, yes! I’m assuming 505 Games will be copying what EA did; because it sounds awfully like Boogie for the Wii. And oh, if you are wondering the DS version will be more touched-based, as opposed to using the mic.

So you still are not excited? Maybe the managing director over at 505 Games can change that. “We are really excited about working with Paramount Digital Entertainment to turn this world famous film into a video game for the very first time,” said Ian Howe. “Working with such a well known and much loved brand is a great opportunity and we believe the collaboration further strengthens 505 Games’ entertainment portfolio.”

Okay, maybe he couldn’t.

It’s well known the original Xbox in Japan was considered a failure. Most like to attribute the system being unsuccessful in the ‘land of the rising sun‘ for a number of reasons. For instance it had a lack of RPGs, it was to big and it was an American system.

I for one would like to mention after watching the video up top, there marketing was terrible. I know Japan is sometimes known for having weird commercials, but the video up top doesn’t make any sense.

Seriously, why would this make me or anyone else want to by an Xbox?

Probably the scariest disease comes from videogames and thankfully there is a short documentary that shows the just how this disorder effects the lives of so many people. Up top is that very video.

Duke Nukem’s disease is something that Gene has to bravely live with for the rest of his life. The 33 year-old’s motor-skills resembles that of a character from a first-person shooter and the film shows just how he deals with his everyday struggles.

The clip even goes deeper and shows off some other disorders that seems similar to Genes. Hopefully this video will make the Internet rounds and cause awareness.
