Blast from the past

I completely and utterly missed out onNatural Selectionback in the day and although I have only ever played its follow-up, it is cool to see the classic map Eclipse revitalized forNatural Selection 2. Graphics sure havecome a long waysinceHalf-Life.

This is of course a free update, available now on Steam. To that end, the game is down to $6.24 (Windows/Linux) during theholiday sale. I wholeheartedly recommend it if you’re willing to put in the time to learn how to play — there’s a bit of a curve (or cliff, as it were). The usual fixes and the like are also a part of this patch, which you’re able to read about at the link below.
