    Free game, can't argue with that for value.

    Never heard of that one, but if they've had a hand in L4D I will take great pleasure in seeing part of its heritage. :D

    I thought even Alien Breed was pretty good fun - this on the other hands looks brilliant!

    It looks a bit like Zombie Apocalypse on the XBLA. Except you can move through a level instead of it being just an arena.

    Free is my favourite number.

    Should be good for a bit of a laugh and kill a few hours although I worry about longevity - I almost lost the will to live after playing Torchlight for a few hours...

    Any idea if this is going to be a long term free thing? Or if they're going to do it for a set period then start charging?
    Just worried I'm going to forget to check tomorrow and download it, and then miss out!

    Looks awesome though!

    Looks better than Alien Breed: Impact, and I loved that game.

    Alien swarm is pretty old but I'll give it a bash if enough people get on the servers, used to love this game
