You play in teams of four, and it's usually best if you have one of each type.Valve CorporationWhile Alien Swarm's gameplay is top down, the action is remeniscent of Left 4 Dead.

The graphics are sound are great for this type of game, with cracking weapon effects and atmospheric, claustrophobic environments.Left 4 DeadWhile it won't change the world, and lacks any interest if you don't want to play online, Alien Swarm is a surprisingly good free gift from Valve.
