Default Valve to release "Alien Storm" for free on Monday

I hate to bust up the Apple love/hate fest, but Valve is releasing a full team based game for free on Monday.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/630/

Looks pretty cool for a free game.

This is awesome, the kind of game I love. Co-op game working together with friends to survive is one of the best and sadly oft-neglected genres.

Holy! I remember playing the original Alien Swarm mod for Half Life and loving the crap out of it, and I remember desperately awaiting the release of AS:Source for years. And now its not only here, but given away for free by Valve??

Tits.

Oops, now that I'm thinking about it, the original Alien Swarm wasn't a Half Life mod, it was a Unreal Tournament 04 mod.

Credit to Valve for releasing this but this was actually a fan made mod on the source engine that they've polished and it was always free before. Glad to see it getting exposure though and they hired and paid the modders.

At first I was *meh*, then I found out if you play and win 2 online games you get a free TF2 hat.
