Couldn't find a thread about it but the new search is pretty odd to me so, you know, easy now.
Annnyway. The (very short) demo is out for this on Steam. It's basically a very, very pretty Alien Swarm that is pseudo-top down (it might even be some sort of isometric view) and which features 2 player co-op. The demo seems to be single player only and if you were a fan of the original, of Alien Swarm or were looking forward to that Negative Space game (what ever happened to that?) you might be interested.
Personally I think this game looks fantastic. It runs on Unreal Engine 3 and they have done a great job. The way the camera moves where you look is pretty cool too. Its a shame it doesn't have 4 player co-op (behind the times guys!) and if I'm honest I think Alien Swarm is a better game because of its speed and fluidity. But ymmv.

I purchased the 360 version and it was
ok, but not great. The graphics are undoubtedly superior to Alien Swarm, but the gameplay had gone backwards a little - on the 360 at least it felt way too much like "get this key, open the next door".
The PC version is (

Anyone want to play some co-op? Hit me up. I would love it.
