Broforce Alien Infestation Update Now Available
A new Broforce update featuring otherworldly enemies and terrain is now available on PC.
In the Alien Infestation update, the various bros of Broforce will have to fight a variety of alien types ranging from small to large, each with their own abilities not unlike those found in the movies Alien and Aliens. These enemies can spit acid, clamp onto the bros, and savagely rip them apart.
The update also takes Broforce to alien terrain filled with areas to explore and various platforming hazards to avoid. According to Free Lives, this is the largest Broforce update yet. Check out the trailer below to see it all in action.
A Steam Early Access game, Broforce is a pixelated side-scrolling shooter borrowing themes and elements from '80s and '90s action movies and TV shows. Their last update was themed around the movie The Expendables 3.

Now it's available on several other platforms including iOS devices and the Xbox One, and will soon be heading to the PlayStation 4.
The game's developers, Playdead, launched Limbo on Google Play just two days ago and have already scored an average 4.9 star rating, suggesting the game is surprisingly stable on the new platform.
Virgin Galactic Opens Rocket-Building Facility in LA
Millionaire Sir Richard Branson's corporate space venture, Virgin Galactic, is set to open a new facility near Los Angeles, California to begin producing a craft capable of launching satellites into orbit for a fraction of current costs. The 150,000 square foot facility is located at the Long Beach Airport and will house both the design and manufacturing for the company's LauncherOne small satellite launch vehicle.
LauncherOne, like the company's reusable near-earth-orbit space tourism vessel SpaceShipTwo, will launch from the WhiteKnightTwo mothership. This allows the two-stage rocket to carry a Satellite of up to 500 pounds (225 kilograms) into orbit for just $10 million. Compare that to the nearest competitor's average figure of $57 million, and it's possible this could be a game-changer for the space industry.
