How to survive the zombie attack.

Left 4 Dead 2 is hitting us mid-November and EA and Valve are ramping the advertising efforts. We've all seen the magazine ads, but now they're hitting the video services. It seems that the British advertising team for the game have a slightly different idea on how to advertise the game.

Check it out below:

Cute, but is this really the best way to advertise one of this year's best co-op games?

British humor is British humor, or would that be British humour?

Hey it's "British humor" what do you want? A couple of daft mates in their garden shed puttering around...yup that's about right.

Well, right at the very end, I liked how intense "his partner" is coming through the door. That kinda looked cool. I think.

^ Pretty much that.


I liked it, so much better then most other video game adverts out there, although Americans can never truly appreciate British humour...

Is Bioware in a budget crisis or are they just trying to go homemade youtube on us all of a sudden?

Getting the british to use american spellings would be like getting the USA to adopt the metric system... Not going to happen. lol.

Nice. I was thinking "Shaun of the dead" - in fact I'm surprised they didn't just hire the cast.

I'd like to see Shaun and Ed make a commercial for this game. Now that would be funny!

I like the little clippet of the crazy zombies running around at the end...and the zombie with the missing arm. SWEEEEET!
