  • Killing Floor

    Tripwire interactive, the team behind Red Orchestra, has announced a zombie-killing game called Killing Floor. I’m expecting an easter-egg power up that causes the zombies to break out in dance, disco style, like Ratchet & Clank Future’s Groovitron. Full text of the PR after the break.

  • Call of Duty: World at War Dogfight in the PacificTreyarch’s previously announced Call of Duty: World at War DLC is now almost certainly free for the PC.

    Official confirmation is not yet available from Activision, but via twitter the updated patch notes for COD:WAW seem to indicate that no charge will be made since the DLC will be bundled with a patch fixing various issues (emphasis added):

    Just a quick update to the PC Patch 1.4 status. This is the patch which will include the DLC Map Pack 1 content, as well as address a few issues with the game.

      Items Addressed:

    • IWD / dedicated server anomalies (the people this effects will know what I mean by this)
    • “Tank Lag” with logfile enabled
    • Improvements to the MP spawn logic
    • Autobalance functionality in various game modes

    A complete list of change will be posted when the patch releases. We are working as quickly as possible to get this patch and DLC out as soon as possible.

    This DLC pack adds four new maps, that count includes one new for Nazi Zombie mode and will be available tomorrow (March 19) for PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The posting was on their forums and is screenshotted after the break in case it is removed or edited.
