I know you can run Steam in Wine, but I need to know if this game will run ok in Wine.

@calebstein

What is wine?

Wine is simply an open source implementation of some Windows core libraries.  It also is able to execute .exe and .msi files.  Basically, it allows you to install and run most Windows programs on Mac, Linux, BSD, and most other Unix systems.

@Caleb: I don't know.

Well, it probably will, but more slowly than if it were on Windows.  I may try it later.

This game is entertaining - I just played it yesterday for the first time.

It looks cool, but I won't be convinced without a review.  Also, will it run well in wine?

But heck, I don't eve think many of us even have the time to play games... or are even interested to play 'em.

That sounds like fun. We should make a dotTech Steam group that is open to all dotTechies. I just checked and both dotTech and dotTechies are available as names for groups. BTW, isn't L4D first person while this game is third person? I see the resemblance though

 

I'm going to throw this idea out there: What if dotTech did a partnership with Valve or some other company to give away a free game? That would be awesome to us gamers out here.Laugh

That will be exciting! Laugh Look around you; a lot of us are interested about this "free game", so why not have a day where we all do co-op to trash some aliens?

I wonder if anyone realized, but doesn't this kind of look like "Left 4 Dead"?

I found this info also.

"Alien Swarm is a classic arcade-style shoot-em-up. It can be played as a single player game but the most users will choose to operate in multi-player teams of up to four players."

YouTube also has a video of it, pretty cool graphics and sound. Neat if you are into the fight games.
