Here's another free weekend courtesy of the cats at Steam. This time, it's Killing Floor. The promotion will start up tomorrow, so now would be a good time to commence pre-loading the game while you still can.
Co-op for six players, a survival horror-style setting, and the fact that you'd normally have to put up $19.99 to play Killing Floor add up to be a pretty convincing argument for why you should be excited. Or, knowing how jaded the Internet can be, you should at least have a reaction other than "meh."
Is that too much to ask? Oh. It is. Hey -- don't say I didn't try.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

It's not a very good game.
I played it at a friends house, and loved it. Pure, simple, zombie killing fun. Pretty much what Survival Mode in L4D should have been.I have just held out because I don't know if my computer can run it. It's Unreal Engine 2.5 so I'd assume so, but now I can be sure.
Someone told me about this 3 days ago, and I love the game. I suggest trying it. My computer is not that good, so maybe this will put things in perspective a tad, it runs really well.
2.0 GHz Athlon 64
1 GB DDR400 ram
GeForce 6600 OC (512MB version)@1680x1050 on 22' LCD
I play this on medium to "higher" settings, with some customizations depending on what I am doing with my computer at that time. It's not L4D, but it's a good time, and a decent price.
Also, incase anyone doesn't really read about it before trying, there is a perk system involved that will make you stronger, but I've not seen a problem with that yet, as higher people don't tend to play in beginner servers.
And it's great with friends too!
and does it still download when my computer is off
