Codeweavers? more like Dreamkillers


Left 4 Dead is the most popular video game of 2008. Hands down, this game is the tits. So successful that is got its own sequel just a year later. The release for L4D2 is April 7th, but the Demo was available today for everyone who pre-ordered the game ie. ME. How lucky for me right? Nope sorry.

When attempting to boot up my new $35 game, which i might add, to someone with no money is the equivalent to leasing a new car, i dont get very far. I see the Valve logo, i see the Sierra logo, i even get to watch the awesome pre game movie. Right after the movie ends the game then decides to quit and tell me there was an error. The nerve! The little error window says it was a problem with "Wine" which is what runs my Crossover program (Crossover enables windows games on Apple computers....pretty rad).

The thing is, Codeweavers (who made Crossover) saw how popular L4D was. They saw the hype of L4D2, I mean computer nerds were jizzing their pants for 6 months about this game. I dont see why they couldn't be a little more prepared for the release of this game. Luckily this is just the demo right now and hopefully they will get this damn bug fixed before the 17th, or else i see a revolt by all Crossover wielding dorks. But luckily the ones that pre-ordered the game can revolt with a baseball bat (wink).
