Looking around at all the ridiculous prices for DLC packs, I can't help but fly my fanboi flag for Valve once more. Just after the launch of it's FREE Engineer update pack, the 10th FREE major update pack for TF2, Valve has released a new Source-based game... for FREE. Alien Swarm is top-down down buddy-based shooter, taking its bloodlines from Left 4 Dead. It's a very simple premise: you're stuck with a bunch of very violent aliens that you'll have to kill... for some reason. You got lots of guns with alt-fires and some gadgets to aid in the moving and killing. In a manner similar to TF2, each of the four fire-team members will have traits unique to its class which can be upgraded for performance boosts. In addition these traits will allow classes to carry unique weapons and upgrades. No, this isn't the next big thing, but it's fast-paced and fun, it'll allow for community mods and.... it's FREE. Just check the Steam Store for the FREE download. | |
