On paper, Killing Floor might sound like a Left 4 Dead knockoff -- a group of online players get together to hold off hordes of monsters in a cooperative, first person shooterish manner -- but in practise it's a little different. Set in arena-like levels rather than the "always pushing forward" pathways of Left 4 Dead, the game's a lot of fast-paced fun, particularly if you get a good team together. It's also notable for being on the receiving end of an absolute ton of new -- often free -- content since its original launch in May of 2010.
The game has also held a number of special events throughout its lifetime, with the last being the Summer Sideshow, which featured series of new enemies and challenges to take on. Developer Tripwire Interactive is running a similar event this Halloween, with a batch of special achievements on offer and an unlockable character available as a reward for anyone who completes all of them. Those who missed the Summer Sideshow event will also be able to take on those achievements again and unlock the special Steampunk Mr Foster character. Hurry, though -- you've only got until November 3.
