9:40AM Michael McWhertor | Don’t be jealous of
the Germans. We can
all have some fresh Source engine content to play, now that the
Zombie Panic Source mod has gone live. The
Half-Life 2 modification brings zombie versus human gameplay to Source earlier than Turtle Rock Studios’ own
Left 4 Dead will, but it probably won’t, as a free product, arrive with the same amount of polish. The premise is fairly simple—a team of humans must fend off a zombie invasion, with one player taking the role of zombie virus carrier, adding to his or her zombie horde by taking out the opposing team. Each faction has its own quirks and abilities, naturally, to make the whole affair (hopefully) balanced and replayable. Regardless of the spitshine on this one, more zombie games are never, ever a bad thing.

10:30AM Logan Booker | Everyone’s favourite* Half-Life 2 zombie mod has just received a new update, just two days after the previous one. There’s no mention of what 1.21b fixes, but if you plan on playing the survival horror mod online, you’ll have no choice but to update.
If missed the 1.2b patch released on Feb 16, it added quite a few new features, including a special “infection” mode and a bunch of custom textures. The more curious can check out everything that changed right here. Don’t worry – it’s just a text file.
*For all you Zombie Master lovers out there, it’s a totally cool mod as well. I’m not a hater.
