Developer Runewaker has their sights set on their next MMORPG title: Guadians of Ember. This time around, the title will fall into the "hack 'n slash" territory (as opposed to the more straightforward RPG mechanics of their previous games) and allow a group of players to take on missions together, explore the world, and participate in public events.

Thus begins NeuroVoider, an intense dual stick rogue-lite shooter with a high level of difficulty and a slick c...
At long last, the Co-opticrew has another chance to relax and reflect on what seems to have been quite the busy week. More and more, the staff here is returning to its local gaming roots, indicating our growing desire for face-to-face interaction. Through couch co-op, board games, and roleplaying games, we've trended back towards the chance to sit down with a few friends, chat about nothing in particular, and work towards a common goal.

Patch 1.1 added a whole new environment, new enemies, new weapons, and, perhaps most important of all, a new playable class: the Brute.

Toys-to-life fans have just one more month to wait before Skylanders Imaginators hits the retail shelves. The newest entry to the franchise allows players to create their own Skylanders thanks to the new "Creation Crystal" toy.
The next big expansion, Rise of Iron, for Destiny is out next week, and I'm a little excited for it. I mean, c'mon... just look at that armor! I want to get a cat-ear hood for my Hunter.
When they're not figuring out how to make sniper bullets move in the slowest of motions and cause the worst kind of damage to some people, UK developer Rebellion has been working on a modern take of the '80s arcade title Battlezone. The game is slated for release next month on the PlayStation 4 (a PlayStation VR headset is required to play) and it was revealed today that it will support four player online co-op when it launches.
Just before this year's PAX West, Gears of War 4 developer The Coalition revealed the revamped Horde 3.0 mode and had it available to play on the PAX show floor. Now that the dust from that has settled, the dev is ready to talk some specifics about the mode.
For some, invoking the name of the Mutant League series of games brings back fond memories of raining death upon an opposing team in football, or dismembering a hockey player, or possibly even an animated series. For its creator, Michael Mendheim, it's a little bit more and after 20+ years out of the limelight, he intends to bring it ...
