Evening Reading

by Nick Breckon, May 15, 2009 5:00pm PDT

Played a decent amount of Killing Floor, the zombie survival mod-turned-retail game from Tripwire. It certainly still feels more like a mod than a retail game, but I sort of like it with the right group of people.

I do wish that you could build actual barricades in both this game and Left 4 Dead. I have a gaming fetish that can only be sated by piling random objects in front of a door and playing hide-and-go-shoot. This explains my intense love of Resident Evil 4.

And the nominations for Most Interesting News of May 15 go to:

Activision, for new Guitar Hero 5 details
Activision, for Tony Hawk features full-scale skateboard controller
BioWare, for new Mass Effect 2 trailer
Take-Two v. 3D Realms, for more pre-trial craziness
Valve, for TF2 Spy update shenanigans

And the winner goes to.. Valve. A truly brilliant twist on an already entertaining marketing campaign.
