Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, May 15, 2009 5:00pm PDTPlayed 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.

So far, I'm playing this, my wife is playing it, and all 3 of my kids are playing it (4, 9, and 9). I have definitely played worse MMOs. For example, Chronicles of Spellborn is much much worse. I can't believe I just wasted 30 minutes doing the tutorial and wondering around the starting area in that game. Ugh, it's like a 13 year old just discovered heavy metal and wrote an MMORPG script. So terrible. The voice-overs are cringe inducing.
On the other hand I haven't found anything to hate in Free Realms except that not everything is free. It's awesome that my 4 year (that has just started reading) can play by himself and have fun and be completely safe.
