OPM: EA developing Left 4 Dead for PS3

It's no secret that Valve's Gabe Newell isn't a staunch supporter of the PlayStation 3 -- well, that's putting it lightly. The
Half-Life creator actually
referred to the system as "a waste of everyone's time". PS3 owners were likely disappointed (though not surprised) to learn that Turtle Rock Studios' (a
recent addition to the Valve family) upcoming zombocalypse survival sim
Left 4 Dead would be
console exclusive to the Xbox 360 -- though a recent blurb in the latest issue of Official Playstation Magazine contradicts
this oft-repeated claim.
The one-sentence newsbrief reads, "Valve's survival horror game
Left 4 Dead is coming to PS3, but EA will be taking on development duties in-house." That's it -- no attribution for the report or timetable for the title's release. We expect that EA will soon deliver more info about
the project -- until then, we wait with bated breath, hoping that we don't have
another Orange Box fiasco on our hands.
