Yesterday we reported that Left 4 Dead may be coming to the PlayStation 3 after all, coutesy of Electronic Arts. Now, unfortunately, it looks like that isn’t true. Hit the jump if you want your dreams crushed and eaten by zombies. Read more…

The Official Playstation Magazine reports that Valve’s Left 4 Dead survival-horror game will be making its way to the PS3 console as a port courtesy of Electronic Arts. This is the second time in recent history that Valve is partnering with EA to port one of their titles to the PS3 — the first being Orange Box.

Update: Valve’s Doug Lombardi was recently asked about the PS3 port of Left 4 Dead and stated the following “There is no PS3 version of Left 4 Dead currently in production.” Read the entire update here.

Valve released the offical box art for their upcoming title, Left 4 Dead. In case you didn’t get the “for” vs “4″ play on words, the cover reinforces it even further, by displaying a zombie like hand with a torn off thumb.

Zombies! From whence do they hail? We don’t really care. Honestly, do you really have time to care when there are like five of them mauling your face as you fire off desperation shots from your incapacitated position on the floor? Andrew didn’t, I can tell you that. Read more…
