Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Updated

An update for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days has been released. The update will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

  • Voice chat volume slider (frontend and in-game), which was previously unmutable.
  • Voice chat microphone enable/disable option (frontend and in-game). *Note: disabled by default!* This was done so that people without microphones but wrong (default) Steam settings don’t send out feedback noise from their machines. People who actually have a microphone will have to re-enable this after the upgrade.
  • Fixes in sound to hopefully prevent crashes on startup regarding OpenAL
  • Fixes in lobby behavior to prevent players from crashing

Rise to the challenge with two new weapons – the Heavy Automatic Shotgun, and the Volt Driver, Miller’s signature gun.

New Release – VVVVVV

VVVVVV is now available on Steam. To commemorate its release, the game is available at a 10% discount now through September 14th, 2010 10AM Pacific Time.

VVVVVV is a retro-styled 2D platformer by Terry Cavanagh. You play as the fearless leader of a team of dimension exploring scientists who inadvertently crash, and are separated. The game involves exploring the strange world you’ve found yourself in, and reuniting your friends.

VVVVVV explores one simple game mechanic: you cannot jump – instead, you reverse your own gravity at the press of a button. The game focuses on playing with this mechanic in a variety of interesting ways.

The game is designed not to artificially gate your progress. In VVVVVV there are no locks, no power-ups, no switches, nothing to stop you progressing except the challenges themselves.
