The team who brought you the acclaimed Unreal Tournament 2004 mod Red Orchestra: Combined Arms recently put out another game that started out as a mod, and it's called Killing Floor.
Tripwire Interactive might not have beat Valve to the co-op survival horror punch, but the developer seems to be going in a different direction than Left 4 Dead, thankfully. Instead of offering 4-player cooperative play, Killing Floor supports up to six users, and rather than zombies, there are "experiments."
Another cool aspect of the game is the persistent perks system, which converts Steam achievements you obtain into in-game character bonuses. While Killing Floor has been available on Steam since Thursday of this week, the lack of coverage here left me feeling guilty. At only $19.99, it might be worth looking into.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

First off, the bad parts of this game: get an OGG converter to change all the god awful horrible garage band nu metal crap that plays in the background. Just replace the music with stuff you like, that makes the game 10X better. The Boss Character is the most retarded looking thing ever and his voice his laugh worthy. Server issues is another problem.
The Good things: Overall I its a little bit of fresh air from Left 4 Dead (which I still love). Killing Floor may not be the most fantastic gem ever, but for the price its worth it. I've been playing just to get the perks, currently I'm a level 3 Support Group, and I'm still playing trying to get even higher up there. The 6 player support is awesome, and it's actually pretty hard on Normal if you start losing team members and you have waves of 150 mutants coming at ya. All in all, a good fun game, that I'm sure will have updates and new maps in the near future.
