    Alien Swarm - FREE Steam 4-player coop game!

    Wow...

    Played a little bit of SP yesterday just to get the controls and such down. Pretty fun; this seems like the game that the Alien Shooter series (and the other "Shooter" games by that same company) wishes it was.

    Bit of a discussion going on in the steam sales thread.

    Really cool they release the game for free though. I like it alright. The things that annoy me are the limited vision (maybe they should attach flashlights to all guns) and friendly fire is really hard to avoid since your playing with 3 other people in a small space. Will definitely be playing more though

    Also there's an Alien Swarm hat in TF2 now =o

    You get the hat for gaining the Hat Trick achievement.

    You can look farther by moving the mouse more towards the edges of the screen. Also, I can understand the omission of flashlights because they want someone to waste a slot on flares.
