I have a touch of a fever, and when I have a fever I always have really weird dreams. Last night, I had one of those dreams. I dreamed that I was playing the newest Batman game. No, not Arkham Asylum (I wish), but something far more…odd.
Batman vs. The Infected.
Yes, Batman fighting the Infected from Left 4 Dead. How was it, you might ask? It was shockingly awesome. In my short dream-session with it, I had Batman use a batarang to pop a Boomer, he had a pretty wicked kung-fu battle with a Hunter, he took out a huge group of basic Infected with those awesome take-down moves from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, and he went all stealth to run away from a Witch. Then, in what has got to be one of the greatest boss battles ever, a Tank burst through a wall and had Batman hiding, running, striking from the shadows, and using some uncharacteristically big guns (namely, a Gatling gun) to take him down.
It was the greatest video game crossover ever, and I want somebody to make it and make it right now.

Then I will wish once again that I had a real, honest to goodness Drizzt game on my hands–maybe one where he joins Batman in saving Gotham City from zombies! [...]
