Co-Op gaming's been in a weird place lately. On the one hand, you've got the indie scene, in which local co-op dungeon crawler/twin-stick shooter/roguelike/beat-em-up games are coming in at an almost comically fast rate. On the other, you've got AAA developers slowly, but surely, moving away from any form of local co-op. Unfortunately, Ubisoft's For Honor is the latest victim of said movement.
Whootgames' block pushing/matching game, Castles, is now available on the Xbox One for $4.99. The title has already been out for a year on the PC, and for a few months now on the PlayStation 4, but all you Xbox One owners can now finally enjoy this charming little game with a friend.
Thoth is a game that could be considered as treading previously explored waters as most gamers in the modern scene have played a twin-stick shooter of some form. In the case of Double Fine's newest venture, it is all that and a little bit more.
Many of you may not have known this, but Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade provides a co-op mode. While the mode is not extensive enough to warrant a full review of the game, we thought a general impressions piece would be in order for those of you morbidly curious enough to brave the infamous reputation of Eternal Crusade.
War used to be so expensive. Back in the day, you had your horses and your swords, each of which were worth upwards of twenty gold coins. Then, you had your thousand-dollar artillery shells and landmines. Finally, countries decided they just couldn't get by without dropping a couple million bones on stealth bombers. It's hard to believe how cheap things are these now in comparison. For instance, if you were to log onto the Humble Bundle website sometime in the next twelve days, you could basically buy the entirety of World War 2 for ten bucks.
Gather your friends, get on your bikes, and terrorize the streets with the new Bikers DLC for Grand Theft Auto Online. The 2 Gb update for Grant Theft Auto V arrived yesterday and it lets you and your crew finally realize your dreams of starting your own Motorcycle Club. Just like Ron Perlman!
While we’ve seen no shortage of Tom Clancy-branded games over the last few years, it’s been quite some time since a full-fledged Ghost Recon title has been released. A few staples of the series have generally revolved around thoughtful planning, teamwork, clear communication, and synchronized execution. Ubisoft aims to pass the torch to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands, with hopes of exuding the spirit of previous titles in spades.
This may be one of the more unique indie games I've seen in a while. Clewcat Games' Axe, Bow and Staff is a runner with RPG mechanics, and is kind of incredible in its own way.
The Eurogamer Expo (or EGX) was held in Birmingham, England a little over a week ago and Rebellion was there to not only show off the next Sniper Elite title, Sniper Elite 4, but specifically to show off the co-op. While we've heard that the game will support two players throughout the campaign since the initial announcement, this is the first time we've had a chance to see that co-op in action.
Well, folks, the day has finally come. No longer must we huddle around the illuminated warmth of our desktop monitors in order to exterminate huge swaths of Skaven with our friends. At long last, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide is out now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One!
Skylanders Imaginators arrives in just a couple weeks, and Activision/Toys for Bob have a way to give your inner Skylanders designer a little salve until it it does. The Skylanders Creator app will be arriving on iOS and Android platforms soon and, similar to the Imaginators game, you will be able to create your own Skylander. For a limited time, you can even order a 3d printed figure of them, too.
You must know that feeling when you write a story about a game in 2014, saying that it will be out in 2015, but is now actually coming out in 2016. Viking Squad is such a game, but raise your hollowed-out skulls to Odin, the game is finally coming October 5th.
