Alien Swarm (Free Steam download)

Alien Swarm is an isometric third person shooter developed by Valve.  After joining a game or hosting your own you get to choose from 8 different characters and 4 different classes, each with their own unique abilites, strengths and weaknesses.  It then plops all of you down into a space station teeming with icky crawling aliens.  Each map has a different objective that you must complete while you battle and try to stay alive.  Some of the later levels get quite difficult so I suggest teaming up with others.

As you progress you will level up in rank, granting access to improved weapons and supplies, the key to victory is building a team with the right combination of these and working together (also not being caught by those damn little infester aliens).  My personal favorite: the tesla cannon, it shoots beams of jumping electricity and deals no friendly fire, aww yea.

Here is a link to the Steam website if you do not already have it.
