Short But Sweet ‘Half-Life 2’ Mod ‘Half-Life 2: Year Long Alarm’ Released
In lieu of engaging in the “Half-Life 3 is never going to happen” talk, modder Chuck Wilson has just released the full version of his free-to-play mod for Half-Life 2: Episode 2 entitled Half-Life 2: Year Long Alarm.
Taking place between the events of Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Gordon Freeman has been chased by the combine into an abandoned mine outside City 17. As Freeman, you must now use everything at your disposal to beat back the combine and escape to meet up with members of the Resistence.
The mod claims to be a “short and polished” experience (it’s only two levels), so don’t expect anything really involved. However, the multiple environments are packed with puzzles and combat. As always, fans will be there to fill the gaps in some way until Gabe and company decide that they should finally solve that cliffhanger that is the Half-Life story. You can download the mod on its official Steam page.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
