Overkill's Walking Dead Delayed

GamesRadar has word from Overkill Software that their Walking Dead first-person shooter will be released in the second half of next year, rather than this year as was previously planned (thanks PC Gamer). Here's what they report:

According to Starbreeze, which owns Overkill, this is the good kind of delay: a big investment from Korean game company Smilegate will allow Overkill to expand the game and launch it in Asian and western markets simultaneously. The Payday studio will also work on a "premium" co-op PC game based on Smilegate's Crossfire online shooter franchise. Meanwhile, Fast & Furious producer Neal Moritz is adapting Crossfire into a film, so expect to see a lot more of it in the coming years.

Sven Co-op Released

Steam now offers the promised release of the new version of Sven Co-op, a standalone co-op Half-Life game, that's completely free, including a free co-op Half-Life campaign. This post has the news, and here's a complete description:

Sven Co-op is a co-operative game originally based around Valve Software's Half-Life. In this game players must work together against computer controlled enemies and solve puzzles as a team.

While Sven Co-op is similar to Half-Life with similar weapons, monsters, and characters, the difficulty has been increased to suit team play.

Sven Co-op's levels are set as missions and are generally separate from each other. Many missions span several maps and some are collected together in a series. The aim of most levels is to reach the end or to achieve an objective -- obtaining a high score is not essential to beat a level, it's just part of the fun.

Out of the Blue

We have a lot of snow out there, and it's still coming down. This is our first real storm of any note so far this winter, and it's certainly making up for lost time... apparently this developed differently than was projected, so we're getting more than expected. Luckily, I have a batch of chili to take the edge off that's nearing completion (this one was cooked even slower than usual, and has been on the stove for around 18 hours now).

Snowy Links: Thanks Ant and Acleacius.

Forgotten Hill: Fall.
