Can you believe it? Another weekend is just over the horizon! Many of us are still recovering from a long weekend, so it'll be nice to have a fresh chance to take care of all those things we said we were going to do last weekend but then got caught up in the wild world of speedrunning.
One of the bigger reveals during this year's E3 was Monster Hunter: World, the first non-handheld/mobile title from the long-running franchise to be released in recent history. The debut trailer showed some clips of a hunter tracking down his prey and engaging it, and now the full 24-minute gameplay video is available.
The latest update to Bioware's Mass Effect: Andromeda includes a number of fixes and tweaks to people's faces, which tended to go... awry, but more importantly (for us) it also added a new difficulty mode for the co-op mode. Along with that, a familiar alien race should be making its appearance in the mode's newest APEX right about now.
Not to be outdone by Steam, Microsoft kicked off their Ultimate Game Sale last Friday with deals on 350 titles, many of which can be played cooperatively, like Gears of War 4 or Halo Wars 2. This sale ends on Monday, July 10, so you still have some time to take advantage of these savings.
While many of us were off celebrating this 4th of July, Ubisoft was dropping free updates for Watch Dogs 2 to make the co-op even better. With the "Party Mode" update, you can now team up with up to three other friends to go all hack-tivist around San Francisco.
Not a lot of co-op offerings on the PS front this month, unfortunately. However, the one game you can play with a friend is quite a doozy, if you still have your Playstation 3 available. Tokyo Jungle lets you and a local buddy team up in the Survival Mode to forage, hunt, and, yes, even breed in order to survive.
Keeping with the schedule of interesting, unpredictable choices, Microsoft has announced that Kane and Lynch 2 will will headline their Games with Gold for July, 2017. While the title was originally released for the Xbox 360, it has been on Xbox One’s list of backwards compatible games since December, 2015. Our thoughts on the game can be found, here.
The Co-Opticrew is neck-deep in the Steam Summer Sale, and it's honestly a miracle any of us are still employed and not in debtor's prison. Oddly enough, we're spending a lot of time on the Switch. Perhaps the Nintendo Local Co-Op Renaissance has begun in earnest?
The latest entry in the Bomberman series, Super Bomberman R, has met with a lot of mixed reviews, but that's not stopping Konami from putting out more content for it. The latest updates adds a few new characters to the roster and they're going for a song as far the in-game currency is concerned.
While there’s certainly advantages to living in a gaming era that emphasizes online co-op, couch co-op games will always hold a special place in many of our hearts. Therefore, we (the folks at Co-Optimus) were extremely pleased when the recently released Nex Machina brought back this nostalgic experience in fine form. As a game developed with...
Following their big overhaul of the system this past fall, Orcs Must Die! Unchained officially got released on the PC back in April. There have been a number of patches and updates since that time, including one that added a 3v3 PvP mode back into the game, and it appears the title is now at a point where it's good for a console release.
We all love new games the best, but getting access to games that we already own is enough for some of us. Checking out your Xbox One 'Ready to Install' list and finding a forgotten XBLA title from the 360 is a joy. Look at your list today as you may have one of three newly updated co-op titles.
