Shooter News (TF2, L4D, QL)
I said that I’d post about TF2, L4D and QL, so here goes. They all have share-worthy news. Left 4 Dead Survival Pack Left 4 Dead did get a new update a couple of weeks back, which improved the balance a bit. I liked the Smoker changes, but other than that, it was a bit [...]
Unreal Tournament 3 Titan Pack
Unreal Tournament 3 lives! If you don’t believe it, just look at this week’s Steam charts — it got to number 3. The recent free UT3 weekend was such a success that for some, it was a failure; the Steam servers were hammered and many didn’t get to finish downloading the game in the first [...]
StarCraft TBG Strategy: Wrapup
