One of the key titles in this year's PS3 holiday lineup is Resistance 2. Many features we love here at Co-Optimus have been implemented, such as an 8 player co-op campaign and local split screen co-op. However, it appears there are some serious issues with the latter. Co-Optimus reader "blakepro" was the first to bring this to our attention, in a forum post. However, it seems the word is out, as you can read in this snippet from a review at PS3Blog.net:
It's a game that a lot of people complete wrote off when it was announced. You're going BACK to World War 2. No thank you. Wait, there's a 4 player co-op mode? Perhaps. There's also a 4 player co-op mode with zombie Nazis? Ok, sign me up.
With the Left 4 Dead demo in many people's hands already, and availability expanding to everyone this week, the folks at the British Gaming Blog have put together a survival guide for Valve's 4 player co-op shooter.
In a surprising but pleasant twist to the usual video game marketing story, Activision has partnered with the United Service Organization to connect members of the United States Armed Forces with civilian gamers via Call of Duty: World at War and Guitar Hero III. The idea of the project is to boost moral, a mission that the USO was f...
It was an eventful week in America. We now know who our next president will be, and you know what that means? No more friggin political commercials. Thank Billy! On the gaming front there was a few interesting tidbits out there, as there's still a few AAA titles on the horizon before Black Friday in the US.
Our own Gears of War contest may be over, but the folks at Xbox aren't resting on their laurels. No, in fact since I know you'll be playing Gears 2 Co-Op this weekend until your eyeballs bleed, you might as well enter their Play and Win sweepstakes.
The whole HUD crew is back together again, and to celebrate the format is switched up a little bit. How so? Well we've still got 4 questions, but we've made them a little more "opinionated." Curious?
Sometimes it's cool to be a Halo fan, because let's face it: you're in the majority. Other times, however, it ends up feeling just...dirty. Not a guilty kind of dirty; more like a whoa, hey, who's touching me from behind dirty. This post has a dual purpose, I suppose. On the one hand, it's an announcement of sorts -- on the other, i...
In case you've been hiding under a rock the past few days, and haven't checked out our banner, we're a little bit excited about the release of Gears of War 2 today. In keeping with the theme, then, I decided to go with a classic that was similar in tone to Gears 2. Perusing the list of classics in our database, I found Rush'n Attack. I'm sure there are closer matches to Gears of War, but both games feature macho soldiers, a variety of weapons, and, well, war. I downloaded the demo off of Xbox Live Arcade, and tried it out for a bit. That experience is the focus of Co-Op Classics this week.
If you pre-ordered Left 4 Dead from Gamestop or Steam, you should have gotten a demo code by now. If you didn't get one yet, you might need to fire off a few nastygrams. If you did get the demo, make sure you let us know how it is! I've yet to fire it up, as I'm knee deep in about 4 million other titles. F*ck you Fall Gaming Season.
If you were having trouble getting your gooooooolden lancer code to work, included with your launch copy of Gears of War 2 - you weren't alone. If you didn't get a code at all, well you are still SOL. Lucky, lancerless folks have a fix, and it's a simple one.
