Feature: Listen or count calmly to ten
Whoa whoa, calm down, breeeathe. Now, explain it to me slowly. The RPS podcast did what? They talked about the games that make them panic? Hm. That does sound like something those scoundrels of the Electronic Wireless Show would do. They’d probably talk about Subnautica and Duskers and SpyParty. Okay, well stay calm. That’s right. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. There’s no need to –…

Feature: Update Night
Update Night is a fortnightly column in which Rich McCormick revisits games to find out whether they've been changed for better or worse. Gaming’s greatest gun is still Doom’s double-barrelled shotgun. We have to all say that, right? For my money, though, slots two, three, four — all the way down to about 15 in the list of Top However Many Shootiest Guns in Videogames —…

It has been a decade since the original Killing Floor mod for Unreal Tournament, which was released in much-improved standalone form in 2009. It's one of those games that quickly turns some people off: the visuals were a bit shonky, it was essentially built on repetition, and the less said about the Dick van Dyke voice-acting the better. But for devotees, Killing Floor is one…

Killing Floor knows all about mods, having been one itself. They never tidy their rooms, leaving files scattered all over internets and hard drives alike, and trying to organise them is like trying to herd cats. The multiplayer horrorshow is gathering all its mods in one place, the increasingly active Steam Workshop, which should make keeping track of maps and modes much easier. Tripwire will…

The Tripwire guys do like a bit of seasonal celebration in their Killing Floor. This year they're gifting us with "the Winter Weapon Pack, with seven brand new weapons complete with new achievements, free to everyone who owns the game" but there's also an entirely new level, the Ice Cave, which you can check out for free, even if you do not own the game,…
Do you want to have a crack at Killing Floor's frightening-looking Summer Thing but are too poor/miserly to buy the game? Well then no problem - at least for fifteen of you - because Tripwire have sent us some keys to give away. Hooray! What you need to do is email us at this address with the reason why you are the best candidate for…
The guys at Tripwire have sent word that they're going to be doing another Killing Floor novelty map event, like they did for last Christmas, only this time it's a "Summer Sideshow". What that means is they've poured their mapping talents into creating a grotesque freakshow, complete with 'orrible circus variants of Killing Floor's hideous mutants, and new unlockables and achievements. You can check them…
Portal 2, which appears next Tuesday (how did that sneak up on us so fast?!), continues sneaking its way into other games. I imagine using portals. There must have been a more imaginative way of my phrasing that. Almost every member of the Potato Sack has gained content relating to the cryptic influence of GlaDOS, including Killing Floor, The Ball, RUSH, Super Meat Boy, Toki…

Last night I got an exclusive sneak preview of the Christmas update to Killing Floor, in which the familiar range of nightmarish mutants are replaced with an even more disturbing group of gingerbread men, murderous elves, fiery snowmen, and super-powered death Santas. It's an impressive piece of work, and also a little strange, and comes with free stuff for TF2 players. More on these things,…
Tripwire has released the third free content pack for their co-op multiplayer zombie-shoot, Killing Floor, as well as a new 99p character pack, which is currently available at half price. 49p! That's a bag of crisps. The Incendiary pack brings a new weapon and four new maps, as well as upgrades for the Firebug perk. Bonanza! A video of some professional-sounding people completing the West…

Modders-gone-kinda-pro Tripwire Interactive have just released a chunk of free DLC for their popular co-op zombie shooter, Killling Floor. Do you like stuff? Well, it's got a bunch of stuff in it. More importantly, it's a pleasing sign of ongoing and generous support for a game that seemed pretty barebones to mine eye upon release. Also, there's currently a free weekend going on for it,…

Tripwire Interactive, the good chaps behind the Red Orchestra series, offered up their brand new, standalone multiplayer shooter Killing Floor last week. Well, I say brand new, but it's an embiggening of an old UT2004 mod. A storm of hype exploded around this co-op survival horror shooter in the run up to release, so now's the time to judge if it deserved such loving treatment.…
Zombies zombies zombies. Zombies zombies zombies. Zombies. This one could go huge, I suspect. It's the next game from the makers of the evergreen Red Orchestra, and it's stealing a little bit of long-term supporters Valve's thunder by being a co-op zombie shooter. Cheeky! Left 4 Dead 1.5 it ain't though, thanks to more arena-like playing areas, abilities beyond simple shooting and healing, and persistent…
This was announced earlier in the week, and normally we'd wait until there was more information before saying anything else, but Tripwire Interactive are apparently getting this co-op zombie game on Steam in the near future. So probably best to know what The Makers Of Red Orchestra Did Next as early as possible, I think. Co-op zombi... yeah, it does seem somewhat familiar, but Killing…
