If you’re into the the intense cooperative team play of Left 4 Dead<\/strong><\/a>, this top-down shooter Alien Swarm<\/strong><\/a> could be just the thing. It’s actually a relic from 2004 that’s been finally finished and released by Valve themselves: just like their acclaimed zombie shooter, this a four player online game<\/strong>, and although the perspective is different, there are similarities between L4D’s zombies and the aliens here.<\/p>\n

Choose a class of marine and jump straight into a public game, or set up one with your friends. Aliens have invaded a colony planet, and it’s your job to clean them out, whatever way you can.
