PC vs. Mac from next month.
Valve has said that Left 4 Dead owners on Windows and Mac will be able to join forces or go head to head cross-platform in multiplayer.
It’s all thanks to the new Mac version of Steam, due out next month, which will be supported by the Mac-ification of the entire Valve catalogue, including both zombie shooters.
Thanks to Valve’s “Steam Play” feature, Windows players who also have Macs don’t have to worry about forking out for a separate version either. As the Left 4 Dead blog points out, “if you own Left 4 Dead 2 for Windows, then you already own it for the Mac.”

PC gamers unable to play ACII or SHV.
Reports are emerging that the servers for Ubisoft’s new digital rights management system have gone down, preventing users from accessing their games.
Ubi recently introduced the new system with Assassin’s Creed II and Silent Hunter V. It requires players to remain connected to the internet at all times. But posters on the company’s official forum claim an error message is being received when trying to connect to the servers.
The problems appear to have begun over the weekend. Community manager Ubi.Vigil wrote on the forum, “I don’t have any clear information on what the issue is since I’m not in the office, but clearly the extended downtime and lengthy login issues are unacceptable, particularly as I’ve been told these servers are constantly monitored.” The server issues have been attributed to “exceptional demand”.
