You’ve probably already heard of Valve’s free top-down shooter, Alien Swarm. What you may not know is that it’s also a FPS. PCGamer broke the news from the steam forums. It just takes a few console commands to make a whole new game from the downloadable title:

Go to Options > Keyboard > Enable developer console. Then hit ` (to the left of 1) and type:

firstperson
asw_hide_marine 1
asw_controls 0

Because the game was polished for top-down play, it’s not so smooth as it might be. However it’s hard to complain when the price is a few keystrokes.

Is there another entertainment medium that’s so transformative?
