Edited by: Mazzarins Demise on 19/07/2010 03:04:23 "Two years ago Valve hired the talented team behind the popular top down co-op mod Alien Swarm. Since then they have been busy working on the Left 4 Dead Series, and now Portal 2. However, we never forgot about Alien Swarm and the team has spent a lot of time bringing the game to Source in between their contributions to the other Valve projects.
On Monday, July 19th Alien Swarm is going to be released for free via Steam.
In addition to the game, Valve will also release the complete code base for Alien Swarm. This includes updates to the Source engine SDK and full Steamworks integration. If you've ever thought about developing a mod on the Source engine with Steamworks, this release provides more insight and examples for using Steamworks in game production."
Source
For those who played the Unreal Tournament 2004 version of the mod, tomorrow is going to be a special day!
Did I mention that it's FREE? _________________________________________ Support the "Seed Primae on the market and ORE LP Stores" proposal! Click here |

This is gonna make Team17, who are remaking Alien Breed (an ancient but very good game), very unhappy, especially as it is free.

I've been playing the Shadowgrounds series of games, as well as the Alien and Zombie shooters.
this seems likely to beat all of those
but, Alien Breed. dang, that's a name I have not heard in a long time. long time.
seems like top-down shooters are getting some well needed love these days =^_^=

Looks good fun. Thanks I'll give it a try.
Don't wish to butt in to your thread here, but is there any way of listing all free games within the Steam window?

I always wondered that myself. The best I could do was click on the "Games Under $5" list and sort it by price, so it shows the cheapest first. I couldn't find any free games though, aside from this one.
Cheapest game I could find was $2.99. Not including the DLC. _________________________________________ Support the "Seed Primae on the market and ORE LP Stores" proposal! Click here |

One word:
AMAZING
This game has fun mechanics, amazing visuals and audio and so much fun to play. Everyone grab it now!
I was expecting less, but I got more! I've spent money on games i've enjoyed significantly less. Get it!

This is quite awesome for a free game, very polished at a first glance for sure. Only just started trying it out but it's great fun so far. I'm really digging the revamp of some of the old game formulas (that we grew up with and loved) coming out the past few years from the smaller developers. I love the Shadowgrounds series and the new Alien Breed was great to see again, go Team17! ... and now this one, I'm in top down shooter heaven.

The source was released with it as stated elsewhere... we'll likely see a mac version eventually. I run it in bootcamp.

Pros: Great game, very polished, graphics are great, the Co-op is challenging and rewards teamwork well, and the weapons are a lot of fun. The sound is also remarkably well done. Oh, FREE?
Cons: Very short, the game can be beat in 1.5 hours if you have a competent team. Not a lot of different enemy types.
Verdict: A game that would have been worth a full-price admission if it weren't for the hard-to-forgive tiny amount of actual level content, but for free? GET IT.

Edited by: Culmen on 21/07/2010 04:26:50 A couple of minor annoyances enemy spawning is predictable (fix if you activate the AI director through the console) match making sucks pretty short the letters I and L look identical
all of this is over whelmed by the fact that its free! Id pay 20 dollars for this game
GET IT! and further more why do i even need a sig? |

Quite an awesome game actually, and it's almost more fun to play with a bunch of idiots. It can result in many lols.

I don't think the idea is to have a stunning story/campaign so much is it is to just be having fun playing/grinding up levels/blowing up stuff with some friends, it's not a "ohp, i beat it, time to put it away" thing, those things are meant to be played over and over

i think its more a marketing ploy...
cool free game > people get steam > people mod/make levels for said cool free game > cool free game becomes cooler > More people get steam > more purchases off steam platform as a whole
im not complaining i think the game is brilliant :D -----------------------------------------------
