Frozenbyte has announced that a set of free DLC for Trine is now available, and will be applied automagically once you fire up your Steam client on the PC. There's no details on exactly what's in the content, called "Path to New Dawn," only that it'll be unlocked for players once they complete the game.
Sam Fisher - the Splinter Cell - is back yet again, this time looking from the outside in. Shady government characters, betrayal, corruption...it's all here. Can the latest Tom Clancy affair slip in undetected and steal our attention?
Two Crackdown 2 videos in one day? I've hardly recovered from the first one and now Ruffian has thrown us the second vidoc, the first one seen here.
This week's deal for Xbox Live Gold Members is the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned content for Borderlands.
Super Mario Galaxy was a fantastic game, but the co-op elements were less than stellar, if you'll pardon the pun. You'll recall a second player could join in and shoot stars at enemies, and that was pretty much it. Perfect for younger gamers, but not exactly compelling for more experienced Mario lovers. If the above screenshot is any indication, co-op in Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be better.
Have you heard of Blacklight: Tango Down? It's a multiplayer shooter being developed by Zombie for the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC. Until now it only featured multiplayer versus modes of play across a variety of game types, but sadly nothing was sad on co-op. Today the team has announced a new mode called "Black Ops" which pits four players against the computer in co-op action.
When I was young and started losing baby teeth, my mother always told me to tie one end of a string to the tooth and the other to a door, then slam it shut. While I never had the guts to actually go through with it, I'm pretty sure what I've just seen in this video for Crackdown 2, I won't have a problem with doing. Perhaps this method of dental removal was inspiration in Crackdown 2, a game where you can attach a car on a rope to your head, and then proceed to run around the city leaving a wake of destruction behind you.
Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, a weekly piece that talks about industry stories that may or may not be related to co-op gaming.
A few weeks back we told you about a price and a date for Left 4 Dead 2's upcoming DLC called "The Passing." But like all things in the games industry, they're subject to change, and this time for the better. The official Left 4 Dead blog has announced that we'll see the content hitting sometime next week, slightly ahead of schedule!
Splinter Cell Conviction is on the mind, but so is Halo 3, ODST, and Madballs. Probably because we've putting on events 3 days in a row for these titles. Still the staff finds time to game this weekend.
Last week we heard that F.E.A.R. 3, the latest entry in Day 1 Studio's first-person shooter/horror series F.E.A.R., would include co-op. Not much else was revealed at the time about what that co-op experience was like, but the latest issue of Game Informer magazine has the details for us. It seems that Day 1 Studios will be playing around with the idea of co-op some and introducing a new experience they call "divergent co-op." This system will tie in with the game's overall story and basically means that while you'll want to trust your co-op partner and assume they're with you all the way, they may have an agenda all of their own...
