A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

There are no new demos on the PlayStation Store this week, but there are new games, new special offers and downloadable content by the truck load. The games to focus on are 8/10 action puzzler Swarm - made by DeathSpank and Penny Arcade Adventures studio Hothead - and The 3rd Birthday. The latter is a showy PSP crime shooter by Square Enix that involves a steamy, "erotic" shower scene. Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime turned out to be a load of old ectoplasm (4/10 - Eurogamer). There are new cars for new and good (8/10 - Eurogamer) racing game Shift 2: Unleashed. And DragonForce's wheat/chafe se
Have you noticed an curious resistance to short, sharp, bite-sized videogames from people who were too young to have experienced them the first time around? It's an interesting phenomenon, but it makes sense. For gamers whose first experiences of videogames started in the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 era, some express bafflement at the the appeal in the kind of highly abstract, instant video games that existed throughout the 70s, 80s and half of the 90s. They often see little interest in games that lack the kind of depth that they're used to. And yet for those of us, like myself, who were intro
Update: Hothead co-founder Joel DeYoung has told Eurogamer that the European PSN version of Swarm will be here on Wednesday, 30th March. The Xbox Live Arcade release will happen a week earlier on Wednesday, 23rd March. Original story: Hothead's action puzzle game Swarm will release on 22nd March on the US PlayStation Store. The date came via the official Swarmites Twitter account. Swarm involves directing 50 little blue monsters to the end of a level, saving as many as you can. You need to make tactical sacrifices along the way, though, but these are rewarded with score multipliers. It's a con
Update includes: - Added replays - Fixed compatibility issues with windowed mode
Updates: - Added windowed mode - Added color-blind mode - Added no-effects setting - Added rejection of bad connections - Added "Play again" for custom games - Fixed mouse control in online games - Fixed occasional crash after ladder games
Update Notes: - New feature: Online Mode News for Swarm Arena Demo: - Score Challenge Trial is now 50% longer - Additional A.I. unlocked - Offline Multiplayer unlocked
UTV Ignition has announced that Hothead's upcoming action puzzle game thing, Swarm, is heading to PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Announced earlier this year, Swarm involves guiding 50 "Swarmites" to the end of a load of levels, dodging through all sorts of "gauntlets of destruction" in an "often suicidal battle for survival", collecting DNA along the way. We hadn't previously been told which platforms to expect Swarm for, but now we have. Exciting times. The game's still on for release in "early 2011" and you can get a sense of how it's shaping up in the trailer below. Video:
Change list: * Fixed mouse problems on some systems; * Improved performance; * Improved graphics driver compatibility; * Added "30 fps"e; option;
Get ready for a brand new experience! Take control of a virtual organism, develop your moves and become one with the swarm – then the game has only just begun. Swarm Arena’s fresh and deep gameplay is a journey from relaxing aesthetics over mind-blowing action to pure tactics. Be fast. Be precise. Or simply enjoy the experience.
