So what are you waiting for, It's Free!
 
Seems one of those games that will be great fun at first, but will become majorly boring.

A bit like **** Zombies, you start to realise you're getting no where. Good find though.
 
Looks pretty wicked.. and it's free, can't really complain! :p
 
Installed this game earlier. I'm up for playing this with some of you folk sometime.
 
I have the day off work so if anyone is around on IRC/Steam give me a nudge. I quite fancy trying it out myself.

Maybe not! :D

Could do with some more practice with you at some point lad. x
 
So what are the thoughts on this? Not had a chance to look into it yet.
 
Its good because it is free Kris.
Hard to play on a laptop but got better after some offline practice
