    If you just keep trying it seems to accept eventually. I tried 5 times and got a dl on the 5th go. Persistence is key

    Re: Alien Swarm, New & Free

    just had 1 quick game.

    mini review:

    you need to remember your north, south, east and west and whether they relate to up, down, left and right. I set my East/West the wrong way round so i kept going the wrong direction. the marines seem a bit shiny to me with all graphics set to maximum. probably needs some tweaking at my end. ran perfectly smooth, no juddering or laggy behaviour (probaby because im the only one to actually finish downloading it, so im the only one ingame )

    you need 2 people to start off a multiplayer game and one needs to be a tech. the usual steam game friend finding menu is there, so its easy to find/invite your friends/other hexites.

    dont go wildly shooting all you bullets at everything that moves beca... oh hell, youll find out (dont forget what the melee key is )

    verdict: seems fun and ideal for a '4 in the morning anyone whos still awake LAN game'

    kablammo!!
