Why a PS3 port of Left 4 Dead shouldn't happen

Justin Kemppainen, Minnesota Games Examiner writes:

There have been a few rumors floating about lately that there is consideration to the creation of a Left 4 Dead port to Playstation 3. One came in the form of a fake EB Games receipt, and the other a Best Buy preorder card.

This kind of thing is not terribly new. A great game comes out for other systems, so people wish and try to create rumors and whatnot to stir up the forlorn hopes of everyone else who wishes they could play the game. Bioshock was an example of this, although it did eventually get made. Mass Effect is another, although there are more rumors circulating that it will also eventually arrive on the Playstation system. Heck, there were rumors of Halo coming to PS2 back in the day.

Right now, of course, the game in the spotlight is, of course, Left 4 Dead, VALVe's latest Source shooter with solid design and fun, addictive gameplay (even if it is a little brief). Such a port would be a terrible idea.
