Did you pre-order Dead Rising 2? Did you get a sweet Ninja theme, or a Sport Fan theme? Do you see that picture up there? Yeah, you chose wrong. That's the Psychopath theme. And you can get that and the other three available outfits in the coming month through the capitalistic miracle of spending actual money on digital clothing.
On October 1-3, Co-Optimus’ own Beatles loving Royalist, Samoza, attended Eurogamer Expo 2010 held in London’s Earls Court. Part 2 of this preview covers hands on experience with co-ops cuties: Kirby’s Epic Yarn and Little Big Planet 2.
Guitar Hero may have just released a new title, but there's only one game on the minds of discerning music game fans this fall: Rock Band 3. As the anticipation for the new Rock Band increases, the platform itself has reached a major milestone: as of next week, 2000 songs will be available to play in game, whether via game disc, export, or DLC. The 2000th song, "Are You Experienced?" is from a real guitar hero: Jimi Hendrix. I can't think of a better track to have such an honor. You can download this track and the rest of the Are You Experienced? album on October 12.
"Xelissa" attends SEGA's Fall 2010 Event in New York: Sonic vs. New York. She takes a look into the co-op titles that were there: Sonic Free Riders and Shogun 2: Total War (Conduit 2 forth-coming later this month).
As games implement more features, they take longer to develop. It’s true that many games are beginning to include a lot more multiplayer options. To our delight that also includes co-op. Miner Wars is a game that has been in development for a while holding our interest with some space exploration co-op, that is also taking its time in development.
Registration is open for Halo: Reach players to participate in the two-day FLAG (Fight Like A Girl) tournament. Registration costs $10 per person, or $20 per four-player team, and the event takes place from Saturday, October 23rd to Sunday, October 24th. Co-op gamers are not left out - Firefight is featured as one of the four accepted modes.
Blizzard wants you to have a special appreciation for globes when fighting for Sanctuary in Diablo III. Hold these in the highest regard - they are as important as the air you breathe. Without globes you don't fight. Without globes you don't grow and advance. Without globes you don't eminate presence.
3D is all the rage these days. Movies are doing it, Blu-Ray discs are doing it, and games are doing it. But as the saying goes - if everyone jumped off a bridge, would you jump too? The answer for Treyarch, developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops, the answer is apparently yes.
We've been shouting from the mountain tops about our Co-Optimus T-Shirt store at Splitreason for months now - and so far - we've heard nothing but good things from people who've purchased them. But we're still waiting for our first customer action shot - don't be camera shy!
You may have heard that the Borderlands Game of the Year edition comes out on October 12th. What you might not know is that when you purchase this game, you are getting a membership to the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club. Now what is the DNFFAC? It's your ticket to be one of the first gamers to play the demo of one of the most anticipated games in the past decade.
A jackalope has been spotted on the frontier, and like some sort of demon-horned Easter Bunny, it has been hiding free DLC in our Red Dead Redemption baskets. This new content will patch the game enabling players to see the outfits from other DLC like those found in the Liars and Cheats or Legends and Killers packs. There are also two new outfits that will grant special abilities in the single player campaign.
In a move that once again shows the good people at Valve don't like money, Left 4 Dead 2 is now available for the Mac. If you have L4D2 on the PC, then it will cost you exactly zero dollars. "If you already own it on the PC, then you own it on the Mac. All you need to do is load up on your Mac and start playing." Valve is just giving stuff away. And if it's not free, it's on sale. Read on to see the great deals. (Unless you only have Xbox LIVE. If so, prepare to choose ANGER.)
