If you’re still not convinced that buying Left 4 Dead is worth any of your hard earned cash then Valve is setting out to try and change that mind of yours. Tomorrow Valve will remove the pay barrier on the PC version of the game, letting you access the game for free on Steam. If you’re thinking that’s the best deal you’ve heard in ages then be aware that the game will only be available for free for 24 hours, after which it will revert to its original price until pay for it.

If you’ve always been nervous about getting Left 4 Dead due to it not being the longest game in the world you’ll be happy to know that the new Survival Pack is also thrown into the deal. 24 hours should be more than enough to play through both, but Left 4 Dead should not be judged on how much content it has but rather how much replay-ability it offers. Personally I think it will keep anyone happy for a long while, as the AI ‘director’ makes every game you play unique. Secondly, Left 4 Dead is primarily a multiplayer game and people still play the same maps over and over again on Call of Duty 4, so why can’t you do the same with Left 4 Dead?

There’s no harm in giving it a shot, and if you don’t like it then you’ll be safe in the knowledge that you never spent a penny to play it.

Unfortunately you won’t be getting any extra use out of your copy of Unreal Tournament 3 just yet, as the expansion pack I brought word of last month has been delayed.

The original plan was to give players extra levels, weapons, game modes and more from tomorrow on both PC and PS3. Epic has said that the pack won’t arrive until 19th March, two weeks from the original release date. Steve Polge posted an explanation on the developer’s official forums.

“Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control, the certification process for the PS3 patch and DLC has taken much longer than we expected. As a result, we have been forced to push back the release date for the PS3 version to 3/19.

The PC patch contains updates that will improve mods cooked for PS3, so we’ll be taking advantage of this extra time to work with mod authors to make sure the best mods for UT3 are cooked with the latest patch” - Epic

I suppose it’s not that much of a wait, but for eager UT fans looking to fresh content it’s just another two weeks of boredom. At least it’s free!

Epic Games has announced that it plans to release an expansion for Unreal Tournament 3 on 5th March. The ‘Titan’ pack will be free for the PC and Playstation 3 and will add new maps, units, vehicles, characters and awards for the game.

Will the ‘Titan’ pack be coming to Xbox 360? Epic Games is saying that “Given the file size requirements for updates on the Xbox 360 platform, we have no plans to release the Titan Pack for Xbox 360.” (Via Joystiq). Sigh Microsoft, why must you prevent things like this?

Anyway, there are a hefty 11 multiplayer maps that can be used for the Deathmatch, CTF, Vehicle CTF and Warfare modes. If that’s not enough maps for you there’s also a further 8 maps from the first UT3 bonus pack and Xbox 360 version.

More content? As you wish! Two new game modes will also be along for the ride: Greed mode, which is a “tug-of-war” style point’s battle; and Betrayal mode, which makes you turn on your teammates to get a higher score. If that doesn’t sound good enough then the new Titan mutator turns you into a 15-foot tall Behemoth that grants you the effects of every power up in the game all at once. Now try telling me that this doesn’t sound awesome!

Last but not least there’s also some new equipment for you; which includes two new turrets, an X-Ray deployable field that instantly weakens all enemies inside it and new vehicles. The PC version also allows Steam achievements.

Phew, you can’t accuse Epic of not delivering! Head on over to Big Download to check out an in-depth preview of everything this amazing free expansion has to offer.
