We just got a fresh batch of screenshots for Gears of War 3 showing off the new Lambent enemies in the game. There seems to be a variety of these creatures - from big hulking deformed enemies to the lanky type ones you see above.
If there's anything we love here at Co-optimus, it's playing together. While you'll still be able to do that in the upcoming PSN/XBLA game Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes it's not quite as co-op as we originally anticipated. Originally the puzzle RPG was thought to be a 2 player versus AI mode, but after a bit of digging on Might and Magic we discovered that the "co-op mode" is actually 2vs2 online and local multiplayer.
We're only a few days away from E3 2010 and there are plenty of co-op games coming out that we're excited to hear about. While High Moon Studios, developer of the three player co-op action title Transformers: War for Cybertron, isn't slated to make an appearance at the expo as the title is only a couple weeks away from release, that's not stopping them from releasing an official E3 trailer. Really giant robots, space laser beams, Peter Cullen, and more are shown off in this latest video for what we're hoping will be not only an awesome co-op game, but an awesome Transformers game as well.
Summer is here and so are the game. We've got an explosive issue of Beyond Co-Op this month which puts the two biggest arcade racing games head to head - Split/Second and Blur! Also is the Action/RPG Alpha Protocol, 3D Dot Game Heroes and much more.
It was not that long ago that Codemasters announced that they are working on a new FPS IP, dubbed Bodycount, that is set to be the "spiritual successor" to the FPS shootout glory that was Black. Fortunately, this successor will include a co-op mode, though that is just one of several improvements that Stuart Black, the creative director behind both games, plans on implementing. Joystiq recently spoke with Stuart about what players can expect from Bodycount, including how the game's going to be structured like seasons from a TV show, and why co-op fans won't be able to play the full story campaign with their friends.
This week, several Xbox Live Arcade titles are on sale for Gold members. (CHEESY ONE-LINER ABOUT METALLIC PHALLUS) Of the six games on sale, two of them feature co-op! The most recent of the two is Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter. (CHEESY ONE-LINER ABOUT WHAT "HD" STANDS FOR) You can grab Sam, with 4 player online co-op, for 800 points, which is 33% off. If that's too rich for your budget, perhaps the second co-op game on sale is for you. Duke Nukem 3D is available for 400 points, which is half off! (CHEESY ONE-LINER ABOUT STRIPPER ATTIRE) Better grab these deals while you have the chance!
"Trine probably could have doubled its sales and success had online co-op been included."
At some point in our lives we all wanted to have the X-Ray vision of Superman. Perhaps our intentions were for more nefarious, or perhaps sexual reasons - but in Blacklight: Tango Down your x-ray vision (called Hyper-V) is built into your heads up display to give you a leg up on the enemy.
Last week, we took a look at two local only co-op indie titles that offered something for retro and strategy fans alike. This week, we’re headed into the wilds of the online indie co-op world to see what adventure awaits us there.
It seems like the Wii just can't catch a break with some of the gore-riddled games. In response to somewhat disappointing sales, EA will be unleashing the previously Wii exclusive Dead Space: Extraction on the other consoles as a downloadable title. It was previously reported that EA was making this shift, but that rumor was shot down as a just that, "a rumor" according to EA themselves. We're glad to see them rescind that claim to bring the game to a much more accepting and wide-range audience.
My very first experience with a dual-analog shooter was a PlayStation 2 demo disc that included about ten minutes' worth of Volition's Red Faction. Despite the negative critical response of its sequel - Red Faction II - and the glaring lack of co-op in last year's Red Faction Guerrilla, the entire series still holds intrigue with me because of that first experience.
