Cross-Platform Multiplayer Titles Available Now

May 19, 2010 – The second round of Steam for the Mac launch titles are available now. This week’s collection features a dozen games headlined by the first cross-platform multiplayer games offered via Steam.

This first set of titles that allow for PC vs. Mac cross-platform gaming include the co-op zombie hit Killing Floor, Altitude, and Madballs in Babo: Invasion.

“We were thrilled when we learned that Steam was coming to the Mac platform and started working on a native Mac version of Killing Floor immediately,” said John Gibson, President of Tripwire Interactive, creators of Killing Floor. “Steam’s advanced multiplayer support on both the PC and Mac has enabled us to bring Killing Floor to a whole new audience on the Mac and introduce them to the existing PC player community.”

To celebrate the launch of these titles, Killing Floor will be offered at 33% off its regular price (for a limited time). An Altitude Free Weekend promotion is available now on Steam, and those who wish to purchase the game and play beyond the weekend may pick it up at 50% off its regular price. And Madballs in Babo: Invasion is also available at 50% off its regular price.

More single player games are also available today including Sam and Max: The Devils Playhouse Episode 2, Hearts of Iron 3, and more. Click here to see all Mac titles new to Steam.

An additional collection of Mac titles will launch next week via Steam.

Captain, We’re Sinking have two new, free releases available for download today. First, a live EP titled Live At Fest 8. The EP includes tracks from a performance at a warehouse show the night before The Fest in Gainesville, FL. Bassist Zack Charett explains:

We set out from Philly and headed straight through to Florida. It was us along with Bill’s brother Vinny, Joe Rogers and Shawn. Lots of cigs, tall boys of Arizona and bags of chips. Later we roll up to to meet with our boys American Armada, it’s like 2 in the am. All of us were looking like some zonked weirdos from being trapped in a van for an indefinite amount of hours, when Cory Aramda says “You guys wanna play?” And we did. It was pretty rad and it is what it is. I had no idea it was being recorded and probaly would have begged them not to if i had, but fuck! It’s not to shabby for some sleep deprived fools!

The band has also posted a free download of their new 7-inch, It’s A Trap also available on vinyl through Kind Of Like Records. Grab that here and the live album via National Underground.
