    Couple of guys have pointed me in the direction of this game now, worth a try if nothing else I guess. That is ofcourse assuming steam is on speaking terms with me today.

    Mine finished at around 12:20, I had a little offline practice and I thought it was pretty cool. Really need to spend some time studying the different characters attributes and what items to take. But it could be a great time waster with a few mates.

    started downloading this morning before i went to work was really dissapointed that i was only getting 1012kbs on my download :D took about 30 mins to get but didnt have enough time to have a play as really needed to get to work, but will be ready for when i get home and am really looking forward to it, i love co-op multiplayer

    as ever anyone who doesnt have me added go for it, should be able to find me under either gonzo127 or minimad127 - i am also in the bit-tech steam group so can always search for me there

    very good. if you're familiar with the ut2k4 mod then you'll feel right at home, if not then prepared to get raped a few times until you start geting the hang of it.

    Anyone else finding it hitting their GPU hard?

    Great fun though!

    Downloaded (eventually) and will get on when I can tonight. Does anybody remember the game on the SEGA megadrive that looked similar style? A top down, upto 4 person shooter set in a tv studio, a la a shoot em up tv show?

    I need to find the bit-tech steam group and figure out my name on there (same as username for login?)

    You're thinking of Smash TV, which borrowed the idea from Running Man :)

    If anyone fancies a game, please add me - Catachan

    Haha this is such a kick in the nuts for Team17 and their disappointing Alien Breed. So much fun, just as the mod a few years ago. :)

    Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with the demo for Alien Breed, but I would be happy to pay for this if more/longer campaigns were included.
