Proving that Sox and I share a brain, I was just looking at Left 4 Dead. It came up after I checked out the (fairly aweseome) trailer for CoD's zombie bonus level (Nacht der Untoten). Nazis + zombies = two great tastes that taste great together.
In Rock Band news, in addition to the geek music of Jonathan Coulton, RB2 comes with this song:
Speck -- Conventional Lover
Rock Band 2
Who left you hanging on that peg all alone
You look near mint to me babe and I wanna make you my own
I wanna be your captain, my Pon Farr is a-risin'
So step on over here girl, my love is enterprisin'
Let me be your conventional lover
Let me show you some conventional love
I don't mean to boast, I don't mean to brag (ooh love long and prosper)
But I'm a man whose only issues all come in mylar bags
Let me be your conventional lover
Let me give you my conventional love
I'll give you my heart, I'll treat you nice (ooh love long and prosper)
And the games that I play only have twenty-sided dice
They're polyhedral!
Let's hit the dealer's room and you something fine
That collectors bust of Cthulhu reminds me of how you blow my mind
Now let me take you dancing in my best Starfleet dress uniform
You'll want to tap my mana once you've seen me perform
REPEAT CHORUS
Uh oh... SAVING THROW!
in addition to the geek music of Jonathan Coulton
which it is not wise to sing unless you've at least read the lyrics through once.
there's a semi-spoiler video out for L4D, if anyone wants.
I read about Coulton here whilst I was on the radio just now, I ended up telling everybody as I was so excited.

This new site Good Old Games Gog.com look interesting once they have more titles. Old games on the cheap with DRM and disk checks removed and rigged to run on XP and Vista.
I'm tempted to pick up Freespace 2, I have it, but one of my disks is scratched preventing reinstalling. I bought FS 2 out of a bargin bin originally, so another $6 doesn't seem to bad for the convenience.
That site's a cool find, Gud. Battle Chess! (Not that I'd have anyone to play it with even if I bought it, but it brings back memories.)

Anybody know of a racing game that actually has decent physics?
