Alien Swarm is enjoyable

Alien SwarmNo, really. And as anyone vaguely interested in games should already know, it's completely free too, making Alien Swarm a perfect opportunity (for me at least) to taste mainstream action gaming. Possibly an opportunity to taste creativity and modding too. Alien Swarm is after all more than a game; it's a modding platform that has already come up with some interesting maps, and the first co-op, online, multiplayer, third-person shooter I got to truly enjoy. How very odd. Must be the fact that it feels like Alien Breed I suppose. Still prefer the old digital joystick, mind.

    Excuse me while I shovel some coal into the boiler and fire up steam...

    You're most excused. Mind you, if you need someone to shoot at stuff while you're shoveling let me know...

    Hmm. I saw announcement of it on RockPaperShotgun and skipped it. But if even our retro-gnome says it deserves the bandwidth necessary to download it, well, so be it.

    To the engine room!

    I will, I surely will. I might not have time to play today and Thursday is a little doubtful, but we WILL play together in co-op some time soon.

    As a bonus, you will have access to my detailed and shameful Left 4 Dead statistics. :)
