Default Alien Swarm - It's free

Tomorrow Valve is releasing Alien Swarm for free. It's via steam but you know, the world is not perfect

The release includes -
  • Tactical, 4 player co-op action game with a top-down perspective
  • Complete game code and mod tools
  • Unlock persistent items by gaining levels
  • Over 40 weapons and equipment with countless loadout configurations
  • 4 unique classes and 8 unique characters
  • Matchmaking, Steam Cloud, Steam Stats
  • 64 achievements
  • Tile-based map generation tool
  • Powered by Source and Steam
Time to get your bug fighting skills on!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/630/

I thought I'd pass this on because I know there are some of you out there that will be into this

Hmm...I would really like to try it, but I dont think I have enough RAM to make it work smoothly.

Wait, Team Fortress 2 owners get a new hat when playing this? *CLICK CLICK CLICK!*

EDIT: Nevermind. Seems that Im missing more than just a RAM to get this baby to work

Yeah it was, and Valve ended up hiring the guys who made it apparently.

No, you don't really need Steam, google around, there are several sites that explain how to do it.
You even can launch a so called 'private' server for multiplay .....

Google is your friend
