Left 4 Dead Sells over 2.5 Million
Valve revealed at a GDC presentation that Left 4 Dead has sold 2.5 retail copies. This figure is a combination of the sales of both Xbox 360 and PC versions.
The game is doing very well. It was released in November, and has already achieved 2.5 million. But that isn’t all. Valve didn’t include digital distribution copies of the game, which probably puts the game far above 2.5 million.
Left 4 Dead will also be coming out with another edition of the game on April 21st. It is called the Critic’s Choice Edition. More sales please?

Well, Duke has been part of a long time controvery and conversation on if he really is coming back to a video game. It seems that he is, or so says the urinal.
Chances are, if you are a guy, you might see the new Duke Nukem ads. The new ads are being seen in urinals, and feature the phrase, “YOU CALL THAT AIM?”, with the Duke Nukem website listed on it as well. The website is calling for auditions for someone to be the “next” Duke Nukem.
I know what you are thinking, but honestly, there is no better way to promote Duke Nukem.
