Thievous – A Glowing Recommendation

And no, that title doesn’t make any sense to me either.  Thankfully, if you promised me a cooperative stealth Thief inspired mod on the outrageously atmospheric Doom 3 engine, you could call it Thiefomatic 3000 for all I would care.

Unmissable Mods Month: Killing Floor

Zombies always attack the US.  This is a well known fact.  In fact, when supernatural creatures decide to end mankind’s existence – be they aliens, zombies, dragons, or some other generic fictional creature – they have a scary ability to speak English, land in New York, and abduct some Texan farmers.

Unmissable Mods Month: Oblivion Lost

We all loved STALKER.  We loved it like we love old horror movies – it’s a beautiful, haunting, slightly chilling experience, that wraps you in its hard, gritty Ukrainian arms and waltzes you to a world so desperate and miserable that you can’t help but fall hopelessly in love with it.

This Sh**t is Bananas – GraviNULL Released

From a team of modders who’s minds don’t work quite like ours, that includes members of the JailBreak: Source and Fragout teams, comes this utterly bonkers take on slingshot powered zero-g deathmatch.

While it’s only an alpha, it’s perfectly playable, and if my first impressions are anything to go on, great fun to boot – if utterly hectic in a maniacal sort of way.  It’s also entirely playable with one hand, which might be a plus, I suppose.  Or a foot, if  you’re feeling particularly brave.   Whether you’re the least bit interested or not, it’s only 30 or so megs, so you should have downloaded it by now.
