This looks nice. And it's free too. I normally don't expect much when something is free but if VALVe made it, then it should be at least decent since they have experience with Co-op games. It kind of reminds me of a Zerg Swarm coming down on a few marines... Anyways, I'll probably try to run this on my laptop and see what happens...prolly won't run though.

There probably won't be any difference except for the different skins, with the only real difference being what weapon you pick up. Though it would be nice to have a little bit of variety with the characters - Cadillacs and Dinosaurs style. Not too much though... they don't wanna make it too complicated.
