Summer has now truly begun, with the launch of Killing Floor's latest seasonal event. The free Summer Sideshow: Pier of Pain update introduces another map of steampunk carnival carnage, Steamland, which is the first of Tripwire's new Objective Mode maps. Oh, and the survival shooter is free for everyone to play until July 11. Come, join the festivities!
Valve's beta version of Left 4 Dead 2 has graduated to become it plain old regular version. Yesterday's update brought the official launch of the co-op shooter's Linux version and the Extended Mutation System that lets modders create complex new modes.
The level editor for Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine has exited its beta phase and is now available for both PC and Mac for free.
The Walking Dead's "400 Days" DLC is out, dropping some references to Season One while setting the stage for Season Two. Our impressions.
Apparently, Microsoft isn't the only company considering straying from its vision of online-only gaming. Maxis' much-criticized SimCity may also sever ties with the cloud to offer an offline mode for players.
Raising $3.4 million may have been far beyond Broken Age's crowdfunding goal of $400,000, but Tim Schafer has said that "didn't stop me from getting excited and designing a game so big that it would need even more money." Facing running out of cash to make the adventure game, Double Fine plans to polish up the first half and release it on Steam Early Access while finishing the rest.
With The Walking Dead's DLC episode 400 Days launching today, hitting PS3 first, Telltale has dropped a trailer showing off a little more. You'll never ruddy believe it: 400 days at a truck stop in a zombie apocalypse and it seems humans are once again more trouble than shambling corpses.
As lovely as Steam is, it's a shame that many people refuse to buy games not on Valve's store when indie developers need to jump through hoops to get on there. Another eight games have manager to clear the Greenlight process and secure a Steam release, including Guncraft, Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller, and Super Motherload.
Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians caught our eye--and our ear--last year with its weird metroidvania-ish underwater world. Come August 6, publisher Reverb announced today, we'll all get to poke around and mess with musical flora and fauna to solve puzzles when it hits PC, Mac and Linux.
400 Days, the new add-on chapter to The Walking Dead's first season, will be available very soon. How soon? Tomorrow, in fact.
