Dystopia Goes Orange
Posted on September 7th, 2010 4 comments
So it seems that yet another venerated Half-Life 2 multiplayer mod has made the leap to the Orange Box engine, fancier graphics and eventual super-stardom. Well, probably only the first two. Dystopia is one of those fancy “team deathmatch as well as a bunch of other original game modes” kind of games, with a new update coming out September 10th (four days from now!).

Let’s Do the Parkour Again: City Freerun
Posted on August 24th, 2010 2 comments
Everyone still wants to do the parkour, apparently. Or some kind of stylised, colourful urban obstacle course. We’ve had grappling hook racer Tension – no news from them in a while, I must try and follow that up – and now City Freerun, from modder Dosycool. Yes, it’s Mirror’s Edge in Source, there’s no getting away from that, but it looks like it could be a good attempt, and it’s coming along slowly but steadily so far.

Someone’s Released a Biohazard

Finally! Okay, let’s try this ‘posting about mods’ lark again – how about starting off small? Say with a nice little bit of mapping? Sometimes it can feel a bit self-serving writing something up that merely says ‘Hey, look at this guy! He can… build things! In Hammer! That look great!’ but hey, there’s enough rubbish around that good level design still stands out a mile. Take Biohazard. No, go on, take it. You’ll thank me.

Splash Wave? More Like Splash Damage: Supercars II
Posted on August 11th, 2010 7 comments
Now isn’t this charming? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen people attempt to imply that arcade racers with shooting basically got made because someone wanted ‘Mario Kart, only with weapons’, and Supercars II is… well, Mario Kart with weapons, basically. In Half-Life 2.

Italian Job Quote Goes Where? Killing Floor Vehicle Mod
Posted on August 10th, 2010 2 comments
What is it about people wanting to run zombies over? Someone resurrect Dead Rush already! There’ve been a number of mods trying to force vehicles into existing games, whether it’s games that were meant to have them but then someone took them out (like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. alpha), or games where people just thought adding cars would be a right laugh. Such as Killing Floor. Left 4 Dead doesn’t have cars. Not ones you can drive! Take that, Valve!
