Update: A Valve representative has confirmed the veracity of the two posters as official, saying simply, "They're legit."
Original: It is with much necessary reservation that we bring you the two purported Left 4 Dead 2 campaign posters for "Dead Center" and "Hard Rain" that you see above, completing the set of five campaign missions. Found over on Taiwanese website GNN, we're highly skeptical of their veracity for the time being, but felt their quality at least bared mention -- if this isn't real thing, it's damn impressive. Being Danny Doubters though, we're still a bit thrown by consistency differences when compared to the game's other three posters. We've sent a note to Valve for comment, so until we hear back, the images will remain strictly in our "unconfirmed" pile.
In the meantime, ponder this: "Dead Center" translated by Google from Mandarin Chinese is "Death Marketplace." Fact!
[Thanks Lockwolf!]

Everyone's at least a little bisexual, just 'cause we're sexual creatures by nature. :)

I thought of Bob Dylan's 'Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall' for Hard Rain. It's an apocalyptic song so why not?

I love the fact that the girl is dual wielding a chainsaw and a sword in the Dead Center poster.

possibly the greatest film of the 21st century. So many beautiful head explosions, useful survival tips helpful for when it comes, Woody Harrelson! And well, i dont want to ruin the cameo. BUT SEE IT GOD DAMN IT. I seriously wish they made a game version of it. Left 4 Dead is great and all, but it just doesn't have the same personality or feel to it. I guess ill have to settle for cowboy hat and snakeskin jacket in Dead rising 2.

I've actually been thinking a lot about zombie games thanks to Zombieland. I'd like to see an open world zombie apocalypse game (that was co-op) that rates your zombie kills with a points based system, so like killing a zombie with a golf club would be a worth 100 points, but killing one with a golf club while riding a motorcycle would get you a multiplier.
And then you could implement a save film feature (like in Halo) to show kills of the week!
Yes, it sounds like Dead Rising 2, but co-op! (I don't know if DR2 has co-op, so....)
Anyway, convoluted idea is convoluted.

They do look pretty legit. The terrible (but hilarious) puns are enough proof for me.

A small grammatical gripe. Bared should be changed to bore, because in present tense, the phrase should actually be "bears mention (or mentioning, not sure which is correct)"
