Thanks to all of you fans out there, Valve will be releasing Left 4 Dead 2′s Dead Air DLC before it’s July 22nd expected release. Last week Valve took out a challenge to the L4D2 community to complete the “Stream Crosser” achievement 20,000 times, to which the community responded by completing it 60,774 times in the first 24 hours of the challenge. The “Stream Crosser” challenge includes beating the Cold Stream campaign, and since Valve challenged the community to beat it, I’m guessing it’s rather hard to do.

Last week we showed you a video of the upcoming Mad Catz accessories for COD: Modern Warfare 2 , and here we give you a closer look at each item and their estimated price. Seems like every single item has gotten the camouflage treatment, in either grey or white. The special button controllers for both the PS3 and Xbox360 look good, but both get a hefty price tag of $50. Like I stated last week, the best part of this list has to be the Throat Communicator Mic for the 360 that gets a $30 price. Will I be getting any of these accessories? Maybe the Throat Communicator, but check …
