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

Avatar Rockets on Xbox Live Indie Games has been updated. Going to bed now but will try it out tomorrow to see what has changed. In the meantime if you don’t know the game, click here to read my review of the game before the update.
[UPDATE 7-22 @ 2:36 AM] So I have been checking the last few days and whenever I load the game up it does not say anything about an update so I am curious if I had bad information or if the update process is not working. Anyone out there have any info?
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.
The second batch of Old Spice sponsored gaming is here and the first one I tried out was Old Spice Racers after a chat with the developers telling me it was a modern take on the SNES classic Uniracers. So, how much is it like that game? Will gamers today care?
This is my premiere edition of “1st 10 Hours.” What is it? Well, some games are quite epic, usually RPGs and if I were to wait until I finished it to get a review out it would take quite sometime. Also, I may have only played as one class and not know how other aspects play out, etc. Maybe a game has multiplayer and I’ve only done single, or vice versa. Well, I’ve put in over 10 hours in Demon’s Souls and would like to give my impressions, but will do a proper review later on. Read on to see my thoughts.
XBLA Review: Uno Rush
Feb 1
Today’s review title is one of the longest just because of the amount of consoles it is available for. Gunstar Heroes is a classic side scroller run and gun shooter along the lines of Contra. It was Treasure’s first game and the company was formed by former Konami employees that worked on Contra so it all makes sense. If you enjoy classic shooters like that especially playing 2 player co-op you owe it to yourself to get this game, but which version?
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?
