While Shacknews does not regularly report on promotional imagery and pack shots, we feel that the box art for Left 4 Dead—arguably one of the Shack's most anticipated games of 2008—merits the attention in an era of standard-issue character render artwork.

Left 4 Dead is expected to hit retail shelves and Valve's PC digital distribution platform Steam on November 4. For more on the game, check out our most recent preview, the latest batch of footage and the new character designs, all hailing from last week's E3 Media and Business Summit.
