I'll check this one out. Muscrat, I think you are confusing Shadowgrounds with Alien Swarm: Infested which is a Source game that will be released on Steam from the people who made th UT2k4 mod.

Looks fun though - from the makers of Alien Swarm for UT04 methinks. Was thinking of buying the first ShadowGrounds for $10 today, wee bit dissapointed I didnt.

The entire game will only take you about 6-8 hours, but it will be pretty intense at times. I suggest the hard settings, it's a bit too easy on normal. No multiplayer but coop looks cool if you can hook up a bud. This is truly a fun game – took me back to the days of one my favorite top downs, Heavy Barrel.

We object to people being dicks about it. Polite corrections are very welcome, but best kept out of comments as they become meaningless once it's fixed.
