Are you a fan of Left 4 Dead or Killing Floor? How about twin-stick shooters? Do you have Steam? Download this game!

For those of you that have not been following me on Twitter, you may have missed the fact that Alien Swarm has been released on Steam. Why am I mentioning this? Because it is FREE. That’s right a free 3rd person shooter with 4 player co-op is available now for free as well as the code base (the Source SDK which has been recently updated). Download it now and look for me if you want someone to play with. FYI: Game supports achievements and Steam Cloud as well.
[UPDATE 7-20-2010 @ 12:16 AM] Game is SUPER fun with a lot of different possibilities. Reminds me a lot of Killing Floor but with aliens and as a twin stick shooter (although with mouse/keyboard obviously). Will post more impressions and a review soon.
Version 1.5 has been released for Cyborg Mice Arena that adds some new features. Below the break is a video of the additions. Expect my updated review within a couple days.
XBLA Review: Uno Rush
Feb 1
Avatar Rockets is the latest Xbox Live Indie Game to use Avatars, even if you can barely tell. In the end it was used to get it’s game more recognized which was a smart thing to do. The game is extremely fun and simple to play, but may not be for everyone.
While many of you may not have heard of the game being reviewed this week, you have most definitely heard of the developers. Harmonix are the creators of Guitar Hero and now work on the successful Rock Band franchise, but their start in video games was a little known (at least as far as sales are concerned) PS2 game called Frequency.
Growing up in the late 80s/early 90s you will be familiar with these strange things known as “arcades” and “arcade games.” While sadly this is pretty much dead here in the US, at least many of them still live on in various forms on today’s consoles. Back then you couldn’t go to an arcade, bowling alley, pizza place, comic book store, etc without seeing the TMNT arcade game, and with good reason. Is it still fun and worth the money today?
Here is the first official Retro Thursday review. Instead of going the Virtual Console route as others may have thought I’m going with a game that my friends and I still love to play on XBLA that’s a true arcade classic. I had this game as a kid on the Commodore 64 and no game was responsible for more controllers being broken than Track and Field. That record still holds to this day, but luckily has yet to add anymore casualties in the form of Xbox 360 controllers. So I’m still playing it, but is it worth the time for others?
PSN Review: Uno
Nov 3
I’m sure a lot of you are saying “hey, didn’t he review this yesterday?” or “Wow, he’s getting lazy and instead of including both systems in one review he’s splitting it up!” The reality of it is that Uno on PSN is completely different (well, still Uno, but you know what I mean) from the XBLA version. Different developer with different controls, options, etc. It had enough differences that I felt it warranted another review, so here it is.
XBLA Review: Uno
Nov 2
Uno is one of those games that it’s hard to find someone who HASN’T played it. It’s been around for a long time in physical card form and over the last few years there have been a bunch of digital versions released as well on various platforms. Today I’m going to take a look at the Xbox Live Arcade version of Uno.
