The much publicized, discussed, and debated (at least over the Internet) Left 4 Dead 2 boycott has finally come to end; not with a Tank roar, but a flood of self-congratulations and back patting it would seem.  Ars Technica reported yesterday on the forum post that brought the boycott to an end by the two members of the Steam community that began it all, Agent of Chaos and Walking_Target.  You may remember that it wasn't that long ago that these two gentlemen also snagged themselves a special trip to Valve, courtesy of Valve.  So what does this mean for all the L4D fans out there?  Well, it's ok to buy and enjoy the co-op goodness of L4D2 because L4D will still be supported... you know, like Valve talked about months ago.

Tekken 6's viral campaign, What Will You Fight For, has taken an interesting and titillating turn.  While the first video was a bit more philosophical, the 2nd video is a bit more, shall we say - visual?

Microsoft's next dashboard update will be launching soon, and they are offering gamers a chance to get their hands on it early.  

This is a story about dads and sons, parenting a teenager, changing interests, and, of course, zombies.

Diablo 3 is coming, and we're all dressed for the prom. We've got the brutish Barbarians with their beautiful Wizard cohorts. Now, we just need our support characters. In a recent interview with Blizzard Lead Designer Jay Wilson, the Monk class is delved in to a bit - and could fill that co-op strategy "support" role nicely. Diii.net asks the big questions, and we love the big answers.

Dawn of War 2: The Last Stand is out right now, simply fire up Steam and you'll be updated to the latest version of the game and all the co-op goodness it contains.  Need the lowdown on just what you are getting?  Then check out this post on the official community blog.

Amazon.com is offering a Buy 2 Get 1 Free promotion, or as they call it, 3 For 2, on a good chunk of video games.  This isn't just older titles, but a lot of newer titles as well.

Borderlands for the PC is a little further away than the 360 and PS3 versions of next week (OMG NEXT WEEK!), but that gives you plenty of time to organize a group of four people for this co-op deal Steam is offering.

Curse those Lizardmen!  With their scales, and the slime, and their...green-ness.  In Hudson's upcoming WiiWare title, Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem you'll be able to put a stop to their lizardly tactics once and for all!

Din, champion of the Gods, is not pleased with you one bit. You were not very nice in your life, and have now been cursed to live out a second life chock full of redemption. You're charged with being a savior of mankind, and will roam the plains of Western Aleria until Din is satisfied with you. It's not all dark and dreary though, as Din's Curse will give you a dynamically changing world to Action/RPG in with unique quests, different townspeople, and new locations every time you start a new game.

Music games are great fun, so it's only natural that folks want to play them on the go.  Previous efforts haven't exactly been strong in the co-op aspect, either implementing it poorly (Guitar Hero: On Tour) or eliminating it entirely (Rock Band Unplugged).  That trend looks to change with Rock Band for iPhone and iPod Touch.
