Firstly, here’s the news: the first ten games to make it on Steam’s new Greenlight indie game publishing approval platform have been announced. The list includes a nice mix of point-and-click, zombie slaying, WWII FPS and Half Life Mods – amongst others, of course. They are:
- Black Mesa
- Cry of Fear
- Dream
- Heroes & Generals
- Kenshi
- McPixel
- No More Room in Hell
- Project Zomboid
- Routine
- Towns
THe stand out name on that list, for me personally, is Black Mesa. It’s due out on Friday via other channels so hopefully it won’t be long going through the process of appearing on Steam too. Black Mesa is a Half Life 2 mod which entirely recreates the original Half Life.

Towns, Project Zomboid and Kenshi all deserve that spot, and I guess Black Mesa too. I don’t know any of the others, but I would imagine they’re quite promising.

Black Mesa has my full attention. I really hope Greenlight leads to some wonderfully diverse games (and them being good). :-)

I would love it if they brought Black Mesa to console.

Woo! Project Zomboid! If any game deserved the grennlight, its that.. :)
Havent really looked at Black Mesa, but as Im still working my way through Half Life 2 (after 8 years!), it may be awhile before I get to it.

HL2 that old already. Damn I must be wishing my life away. I remember playing it like it was yesterday.
