The free content pack “Level Up” has been released for Killing Floor today. And in true Steam style, to coincide with this release the game is free to play over the weekend and can also be bought for 25% off.

Along with “Level Up” the new Nightfall Character Pack DLC was also released, which contains 4 more new playable character in similar fashion to the last Character Pack DLC. It can be bought from Steam for $1.99.

For more information about the new additions such as the weapons, maps, perks, Husk specimen and more, as well as a full list of changes included in the “Level Up” content pack, check out the dedicated Tripwire forum thread.

A new free content pack for Killing Floor was announced recently and to conincide with the release, Tripwire Interactive are letting people play the game, including the new “Level Up” content pack, for free from Thursday October 22 through to Sunday October 25.

Details of the content pack are sketchy at the moment due to IGN securing an exclusive preview and write up of the pack. The article will be released on Tuesday October 20 so expect more news then.

However, some details of the content pack have emerged thanks to an ad on bloody-disgusting.com. According to the ad, the content pack will include:

• 7 new weapons
• 3 new maps
• New Demolition perk
• Perk level caps raised
• New specimen – Husk

It will be good to get a proper run down of the inclusions, but just by looking at the list already I’d say we’re in for a pretty decent update especially when you consider it’s cost price (hint:free). So if you haven’t tried Killing Floor yet but have been thinking about it, remember to grab it from the Steam store from October 22-25 and play for free!

Crash Course, the all-new free DLC for Left 4 Dead was released yesterday. The update includes a new campaign (which can also be played in versus or survival mode), new achievements as well as a streamlined version of the existing versus campaigns.

The events of the Crash Course campaign are set after the finale of No Mercy (where the survivors escape on the helicopter) and leads up to the beginning of the Death Toll campaign.

However, the main feature of Crash Course is its streamlined Versus mode. This update is set to balance Versus campaigns more effectively and allow the completion of a campaign within 30 minutes, making for a much faster play experience.

To coincide with the release of Crash Course, Left 4 Dead can be bought for half price ($14.99) from the Steam store (sale ends October 2).

This week Gravity announced that they had entered partnership with a company that hosts online surveys. Due to this partnership, players are now able to complete surveys in exchange for Item Mall points which can be used freely in game.

It should be stated our resident Requiem guru, MerchantKill, has already tested out the survey process and can confirm they are safe and free from any nasties, and that the points are delivered instantly.

It’s all above board, and officially sanctioned by Gravity, so what are you waiting for? Head on over to the survey page now and check to see if there are any there for you to fill out.
