Valve has announced the fifth set of games and applications to be approved through their Greenlight community review system.
The list includes Anodyne, the game that successfully embraced piracy to get noticed, and the wonderful iOS game Kingdom Rush. Receiver, Wolfire’s intricate gun-detail FPS that I’ve been meaning to play, has also been approved. (A video demo of Receiver is up top. Doesn’t that look cool?)
Here’s the full list, per Valve:
The latest software titles (see all Greenlit software here)
Black Ink — This innovative painting tool gives artists a incredibly powerful customisation of brushes.
Driver Fusion — Keep your PC optimised and running fast, easily managing your devices and removing unnecessary drivers.
