We've got kind of a bad-news, good-news situation on our hands. Bad news: the world is only down to one superhero, and it's being invaded by a mixture of limbless but hostile cat aliens, and magical girls. Good news: the remaining superhero is the Greatest Of All Time, when she's not too busy binging B-movie horror flicks to save the world. Bleed 2 finally breaks away from PC solitude to launch on consoles.
Well, wouldn't you know it. There's a fancy-lookin' co-op game out, and the whole Co-Opticrew (myself included) has dropped everything so they can watch, mouths agape, as its dinosaurs do dinosaur things. Can you blame us, though? I mean, those dinosaurs are like, really pretty. Also, who can argue with a cat that fights for you and loves you and I want them to be my forever friend oh my god.
Monster Hunter: World is the first big co-op release of 2018, so it should come as no surprise that we've been putting it through its paces and playing it every chance we get. In case you missed them earlier this week, we did two streams of it and you can catch the recaps after break.
Monster Hunter: World has been out for less than a week, but it appears that it's already pretty popular around the globe. Certainly there are a few of us on staff that have been enjoying our time in the New World tracking and bringing down Anjanaths, Pukei-Pukeis, and Barroths. If you're out there, too, having fun "hunning mons" with your friends, then Capcom's got a treat in store for you next month: free Street Fighter V costume DLC.
I'll be the first to own up to my limited understanding of actual warfare, but based on what knowledge I do have, the following is a list of scenarios ranging from "most desirable" to "least desirable":
When is a delay not a delay? Apparently, when you have to make a statement to investors during a quarterly earnings call. EA stated yesterday that their forthcoming third-person shooter/action-RPG title, Anthem, would now have a 2019 release instead of the original 2018 date that was given during last year's E3.
Somewhere around the middle of its second world, the brawler veneer to Full Metal Furies begins to peel away. Underneath, you find something rather surprising. The familiar action loop that interrupts the ubiquitous screen-scrolling is not just a chance to mash buttons and eliminate foes, but a new configuration of recognizable patterns and enemy b...
It's been a long, lonesome few years for Lost Vikings fans since the last relevant entry was released. Sure, they have an emulated version available through Blizzard, as well as the ability to play as the wandering trio in Heroes of the Storm, but when was the last time they could guide three characters to safety using their own unique skillsets?
The year of new DLC for last year's Call of Duty has begun! The "Resistance" DLC is now available for Call of Duty: WWII on the PlayStation 4 only, for now, and adds a handful of new multiplayer maps along with a new map/area for the cooperative Zombie Mode.
Look at you, sitting at home like a dunce, thinking you're all done with loot-based shooters. You'll never be done crafting parts, collecting materials, and shooting bad folks. You hear me?! Never.
Alongside our 10th anniversary celebration, we're doing something new today. We've opened up our private Discord server for the masses, making it a dedicated space for co-op gamers to meet up, chat, and find co-op games to play with each other. It's really as simple as that.
It was 2008. George Bush was president, banks were being bailed out, the Xbox 360 was the dominate console despite a red ringed crisis, and co-op gaming was getting a resurgence thanks to the mainstream adoption of online services like Xbox Live.
