WEEK 10

Chainsaw Massacre, Encore Week Voting, Do You Play On More than One?, Have You Earned a New Friend?

Chainsaw Massacre

4 chainsaws, millions of zombies.

You are armed with the only thing you need to survive a Zombie Apocalypse, a chainsaw. Rip apart thousands of zombies on your way to safety.

This Mutation is available in Campaign Mode.

Encore Week Voting

On the Xbox 360 Chainsaw Massacre won the voting by a large margin. Chainsaw Massacre earned 44% of the vote, Last Man On Earth 26%, Headshot! 20% and Room For One 10%.

On the PC the voting was much closer with Chainsaw Massacre winning by only 500 votes! Chainsaw Massacre earned 33% of the vote, Headshot! 32%, Last Man On Earth 22%, and Room For One 13%.

Do you play on more than one platform?

We often hear people say that they play Left 4 Dead 1 or Left 4 Dead 2 on both the PC and Xbox 360. We are curious, for how many people is this true? Do you own either L4D1 or L4D2 on the Xbox 360 and the PC?

Have You Earned a New Friend?

Xbox 360 owners who have been playing the Mutations may have noticed a new Avatar award. You only need to play 6 Mutations to earn everyone’s favorite Gnome. With 8 Mutations released and 12 more to go, time to get cracking on that Avatar award.
How cool does the Gnome look with your Avatar? Does he clash with your cat makeup? Show off your Avatar and Gnome by posting a screen shot of both on our Left 4 Dead 2 Facebook page.

Interviews: Andrew Bayliss (Sharks)

Despite having an average age of just twenty years old, England’s Sharks have already clocked up an impressive array of achievements. Their debut EP, the five track Shallow Waters won them widespread critical acclaim in 2009, and earned the band a single deal with Atticus Black as well as tours with the likes of Gallows, The Ghost of a Thousand and Crime In Stereo. Currently adding the finishing touches to their highly anticipated new EP Show of Hands, the four-piece are set to hit the road for some of their biggest shows to date alongside New Jersey’s Gaslight Anthem. Sharks guitarist Andrew Bayliss took time out to tell Punknews writer Ryan Gallagher about recording the EP, his respect for Tom Jones and why artists are really just glorified vagabonds.
