Looks like I'm your huckleberry. I called it last week when we thought Red Dead Redemption would have co-op, and today comes confirmation from Rockstar Games that the game's Free Roam multiplayer mode features several co-op aspects.
It was the end of last year when Arcen Games, makers of AI War: Fleet Command, told us they had two cooperative titles in the pipeline for 2010. The first was called A Valley Without Wind, which was a take on the tower defense genre. The game has since been bumped to 2011, but the second was an unnamed puzzle game with an addictive but simple mechanic. Today Arcen has named the puzzle game and announced a beta starting very soon.
Blizzard has announced the pricing of the regular edition and a brand new Collector's Edition of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. The regular version of the game will set you back $59.99 when it launches later this year while for the truly die hard fan weighing the collector's edition will set you back $99.99. What's in that shiny box?
3D would seem to be 2010's version of HD. Movies, TV, and even Nintendo's next great handheld have tossed their hat into the 3D ring. But why wait when you can have 3D now? Or at least, in May, when Attack of the Movies 3D will be released for the XBox 360 and the Wii.
While the original Crackdown supported System Link playing for co-op, Crackdown 2 won't be featuring the same option according to an MTV Multiplayer article.
Tonight was the night that Epic Game's designer Cliff Bleszinki would unveil Gears of War 3 on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. We presume it was Gears of War 3, but perhaps it's a new Jazz Jack Rabbit game.
A few weeks back we brought you our Monday Night Combat impressions from PAX East in Boston. Today Uber Entertainment has released a character montage trailer from the show.
What happens you mix a well-known and loved co-op title with a well-known and loved title that just recently added co-op? One would presume the answer would be "a whole lot of awesome," and we certainly hope that proves to be the case. In a rather surprising reveal yesterday from Famitsu magazine, the latest entry in the Metal Gear Solid series, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP, will include bosses from the popular dungeon crawler/MMO co-op franchise Monster Hunter. While it's great that Peace Walker will be integrating some very solid co-op experiences into the game, we must admit that mixing these two titles together is a rather interesting choice and one that we're certainly eager to try out. The crossovers and tie-ins don't end there, however, as Hideo Kojima had a few more interesting reveals today.
Major Nelson has announced the winners for the 2009 Xbox Live Arcade awards, which were voted on by the community. While Twisted Pixel's `Splosion Man won for best original game, it was the only co-op game listed in the winners despite Battlefield 1943 somehow managing to win the "Best Co-Operative Multiplayer" category. Battlefield also won "Best Competitive Multiplayer," which by all accounts, is well deserved.
IO Interactive have just released a brand new trailer for Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days. The gritty video shows off the game's style, which has been described as a "like being recorded with a handheld camera" and then "uploaded to YouTube."
