An update to Rainbow 6 Siege arrived on the PC version last week and is slated to be released to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions tomorrow. The main focus of the patch was to fix issues around hits on enemies/players actually being registered. For the moment, this particular tweak is for the PC but Ubisoft plans on releasing it to consoles once they've gotten more data about whether it works or not from the PC.
I don't know if you have noticed, but it is already 2016. This means that all those games that slipped from the lucrative 2015 holiday season are coming soon. Tom Clancy's The Division is one such game and with a March 8th release date it is about time we saw a new trailer.
Corgis in your house, corgis in your memes, corgis in your digital cryptocurrency. Where else can corgis go? To your co-op games. Corgi Warlock from Xander's Corgi Arcade is a sidescrolling action game that lets you and up to three friends go on an adventure that may or may not involve shooting fireballs at a giant spider. Because that's what corgis do!
There's something to be said about the physics based puzzles in Trine. When they work, and the solution is somewhat obvious, it can be satisfying. But sometimes the game's physics simply don't cooperate, or the solution to a puzzle may not be easily seen. Soon you find yourself over-thinking Newtonian equations when really all the game wants is to have you jump on a box. Sometimes your co-op partner simply wants to troll you by dropping boxes on the wrong side of a see-saw. Whatever the game tends to throw at you it's as equally entertaining as it is frustrating.
Have you ever had the urge to fight dinosaurs while nestled in the pouch of a giant kangaroo? Your wish has been granted with the newest addition to ARK:Survival Evolved, the Procoptodon.

Zheros hits Xbox One this Saturday, January ...
As we begin 2016, we look forward to some of this year's big co-op releases. One of the major players this year is Gearbox's new IP, Battleborn. The title has been delayed until May and hopefully the extra time means there are some good improvements being made to the title. While we anticipate further news, here are some screens of two new characters: Ghalt and Deande.
The digital necromancers down at Blizzard are once again breathing life into the well-bludgeoned corpse of Diablo 3. Trudging through the pits of Hades in order to punch the literal devil never gets old, and with a fresh season of Diablo cresting the horizon, we're due for some updates. It's delightful to see a game teetering on four years old receive a massive content overhaul, especially when you're getting a sudden surge of new stuff completely free of charge. Diablo 3's latest patch, 2.4, is due before January 15th for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
I'm going to ask you a question, and I'd like an honest answer. Let's say you've been asleep for quite some time, and when you wake up, it's on a morning far into the future. The land around you is blighted with irradiation. Someone across the flames of your pre-dawn campfire mentions a "Nuclear Throne". Do you try and claim it for yourself?
Honestly, the Co-Op Game of the Year for 2015 was one that I don't think any single staff member would have picked at the beginning of the year.
