Post Script is a mod for Half-Life 2 which is kind of like Fallout, only without the mutants. The Road, only without a whiny kid. I Am Legend, without vampires. You get the idea. More »Get Ready for Even Freakier L4D2 Mods
The delayed SDK for Left 4 Dead 2 has been a bummer to that robust modding community, but now they have news that softens their disappointment: When it arrives, the kit will support custom survivors, infected, weapons, you name it. More »It's Your Annual Black Mesa Update
