    Alien Swarm

    Game » consists of 1 releases. Released Jul 19, 2010

    A freeware top-down co-operative shooter where a squad of marines must investigate and prevent the spread of a rampant alien infestation. It was originally a total conversion for Unreal Tournament 2004 before its team, hired by Valve for other projects, completed it as a side-project.

    How many people are considering getting Alien Swarm in less than two hours?

    Well, it's free. It's also made by Valve. They're pretty good at making games, right? 
     
    Did I mention it's free? What can go wrong?

    Pretty much a no-brainer. I love multiplayer, I love the PC, I love Steam. Looking forward to it. :)

    It's free, isn't it? So why even bother considering it; I'm downloading it as soon as it''s released.

    I was waiting for them to finish this when they got hired by Valve (2 or 3 years ago?).  Pretty stoked that it survived at all.  Even stokedier that it's free.

    only reason I wouldn't get it is because valve makes some crazy hard achievements and I don't want another D staining my record. But hey, I already have like 50 of them what's one more!
