Alein Swarm on Steam! Updated and Free!

0 comments
Hey everybody,
If you love games than guess what...Steam is doing it again!  That's right, they are giving away another game.  Much like Portal was given as a free download a few months ago when they released their Mac client.  Except this time, Alien Swarm is up for grabs. 



Alien Swarm was originally from the mod community.  And it was designed by a group of folks who were hired out of the modding community.  Alien Swarm has been updated to the Source Engines, and is freely available via Steam.  It also comes with all of the bells and whistles: single-player, mulitplayer, co-op, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud features, States, VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat'), and includes the SDK.  Looks like they are really promoting the SDK.  Could this be due to Valve secretly wanting us to develop mods for this title as well.  It'll be fun to see where this title goes from here.

Be sure to log on to Steam and get your hands on Alien Swarm.  It will be unlocked within the next hour or so for downloading.  Have fun!
