This past Thursday, Grim Dawn came out of Early Access and moved into official launch status. Crate Entertainment, formed from previous members of Iron Lore (the folks behind Titan Quest), has been working on this ambitious ARPG for six years, and now it's finally released.
We're all caucusing for our respective Fire Emblem families this weekend. Some of us know the truth, that family means more than blood relations, and others are dumb garbage people who would betray the people that raised them at the drop of a hat.
After a series of teasers/trailers showing off Lothric and its many denizens, the latest video for Dark Souls 3 decided what was really needed to impart a true sense of foreboding was Cyndi Lauper. Nope, that's not a joke.
Originally a Source mod, the tactical FPS Insurgency was released for the PC back in 2014. The developer, New World Interactive, is teaming up with publisher Focus Home Interactive to further make some tweaks and adjustments to the title and release it as Insurgency: Sandstorm sometime in 2017 for the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
Are you prepared to enter Devil's Bastion and face Baron Herx? What?! No?! Look, the dude's a total jerkface and needs some righteous smiting. So go pickup Barony: Cursed Edition, grab a couple friends, and get to it!
Four games were just placed on the freebie shelf for Xbox Live Gold members to download this March. There's something about a Sherlock game, some lord that has fallen, and a commander everybody thinks is just sooo supreme. And then there's the original Borderlands, ready to play in all its gory, gunny, co-op multiplayer glory!
So... Shadow Puppeteer. Pretty good PC co-op game, right? I mean, we certainly thought so when we wrote our Shadow Puppeteer Co-Op Review back in 2014. The artsy puzzle platformer has been quietly evolving since then, growing support for a touch screen gamepad and finally releasing on Wii U, local co-op intact!
EA's analog to Xbox One Access offers up a fistful of PC games in exchange for a monthly subscription fee. Most of the titles are the company's heavy hitters, but recently a little co-op RPG called Torchlight 2 made it on the list. When Battlefield and Dead Space doesn't cut it, it's time to go indie.
You know the only thing worse than a terrorist with a non-descript agenda wearing a ski mask and looking for trouble? Having to shell out your capitalistically hard-earned Democracy Bucks to experience freedom. That's why the People joined forces on PSN's monthly Free Game poll to select BROFORCE as PS Plus' free game of the month. That's right; starting in March, you can snag a copy of the most red, white, and blue game around for absolutely zero dollars.
It seems strange to think that you can pick up a copy of a 400 year old book and still read it, or buy a DVD of a 1940s film and still watch it, but try playing an online game from 2011. Increasingly elements of games that require servers are no longer easy to play and you can now add Darkspore to that list as the servers are being pulled on March 1st 2016.
We've all been in situations that forced us to cooperate with a bitter rival. Maybe you need a partner for doubles ping pong, and Ernesto, that jerk from the second floor, is the only one left in the break room. Or maybe you have to pass it to your team's ball hog because, let's be honest, he's the only one on your intramural team with any actual skill.
Developer Robot Entertainment is celebrating "Orc Week," a holiday with which I'm wholly unfamiliar but hey, just go with it. During this time, all Orcs Must Die! games are on sale with a whopping 90% off discount. That means you can get Orcs Must Die! 2 for just $1.50, or you can get a two-pack (for you and a friend) of the "Complete" edition (i.e., the game and all DLC) for just $3.99. What savings!
