Here's a brief video review of the new FREE Valve/Steam game Alien Swarm. You can download it from Steam now (http://store.steampowered.com/app/630/), check out the full achievements list (http://steamcommunity.com/stats/AlienSwarm/achievements), general info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Swarm) about the game, full specs/details (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1365797) and the unlockable weaponary (http://www.wegame.com/games/alien-swarm/alien-swarm-weapons/). I'll add some other stuff on Game-Bank.info (http://www.macksites.co.uk/GameBank/index.php) later .. if I remember :P

*EDIT* Apologies for the slightly jerky gameplay at certain points .. the day I made this video I was having some Frapps problems .. swine programs mumble mumble ..

I played this today... I'm already on my First Promotion Star (Titanium Star) in level 25! When I get level 27 I can win my Second Promotion :P If someone wants to play with me add me there: Flixnelon

That's really cool. I wonder why they released it for free (is a good review though). Wish my computer wasn't a heap of junk to run it... Q_Q

My friend can play it fine tho. Looks like Natural Selection almost.

Lol my laptop isn't that good and I can run it. Go to 'Options' and set everything to LOW. You won't even notest the difference, that droped my ping from 100 to 50!
And yet, there is normal that in some places you lag. Like the Elevator (major lag) and on boss/final situations, where monsters keep spawning or something xD If the host of the room is laggy that doesn't helps too at all... =/

Love this game! Just a shame that I can't play it online ) : Just too much lag. Though my laptop just isn't meant for gaming, at all lol.


Good review jango!
