Here we are with another community feature from Gamer9er with a review of Alien Swarm for PC.
Alien Swarm is a new action game released by Valve on July 19 2010. The best part about the game is that it is Free! Alien Swarm was first developed as a mod for UT4. Valve eventually hired those guys and then went on to making the Left 4 Dead series. On there spare time they decided to remake Alien Swarm, but instead run it on the Source Engine.
Valve released Day of Defeat Source today, while I was surprised to see DoD ported I was hoping for Left 4 Dead 2 its good to see they didn’t forget about porting these for us tho!
In any case a little bit about the game.
