If you cast your thoughts back to summer of 2015, you may recall news of a new FPS title that looked like a mash-up of Doom and Minecraft, titled Gunscape. The game's biggest hook is that it will allow a group of up to eight local or online players - on the Xbox One and PC versions only - to create their own levels together. Word has finally come down that it will arrive on the Xbox One this March.
Way, way back in the prehistory of the Tabletop Co-Op column, more than six years ago, we covered our very first cooperative board game here at Co-Optimus: Pandemic. In the time since that first article ran, Pandemic has become one of the most popular board games in the world, spawning a dice game, an upgraded reprint, and several expansions. Last ...
Sounds like Tom Clancy's The Division enjoyed a fairly successful beta weekend. Just prior to all of that going down, though, Ubisoft released some details concerning their plans for supporting the title after it releases this March.
Last night we wrapped up our Trine 3: Artifacts of Power play through. It was a shortened stream in which we only needed to complete two side missions and the final boss fight to end the game.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the action-y, space ninja-y, free-to-play Warframe got a big update last week in the form of new content. "Ring of Fire" is the latest bundle of goodies to arrive for the title and brings with it a new playable Tenno, new weapons, and some new customizations.
The staff picked 2015 Co-Op GOTY, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, is getting some new content, in both the free and paid variety. The free bit will include a new mode that should be familiar to anyone who's played a co-op game the past few years, while the paid content adds a new map for said mode.
The latest Games with Gold titles have been revealed and there are two co-op titles among them: Sacred Citadel and Gears of War 2. Both are the Xbox 360 versions of the game, but they will work with the Xbox One thanks to the Backwards Compatibility program.
January is typically a quiet month in the game industry following an insane couple of months leading up to the holidays, and 2016 holds true once again. We saw only a handful of co-op releases and a trickle of news of what's coming down the pipe. Here's the stories, games, and features you may have missed from Co-Optimus for January, 2016.
The Co-Opticrew is totes busy this weekend. As it turns out, one of our relatives contacted us out of the blue with some dope news! He has this sweet place upstate that he isn't using anymore, so he thought we should check it out. It took us a little while to hire a stagecoach driver, but we finally found a guy who said he "knew that area like the back of his hand, and couldn't wait to introduce us to all the glorious wonders the Darkest estate had to offer." He even, like, flamboyantly gestured to us with the back of his hand when he said it. I'm not one to judge, but the dude could've used some hand lotion or something, cause that thing was straight scaly.
Night after night, life after life, bullet after bullet, Taylor and I are pushing deeper and deeper into mysterious future of Nuclear Throne. We may not be especially good at it, and the game may do little to persuade us otherwise, but like wild, super rad horses with guns and lots of money and stuff, we saunter on.
FromSoftware and Namco Bandai have released the latest batch of screens/art for Dark Souls 3, and they're all looking good. I'm getting pretty excited for all of this winter to go away and spring to get here already so I can dive into this game and get mercilessly killed over and over. I really mean that.
And now for something completely different. Organic fruits and veggies are finally sticking it to all those meats and cheeses in Organic Panic, a puzzle platformer put out by Last Limb LLC. The main focus of the game appears to be destroying the environment in creative ways in order to defeat foes and collect glowing orbs.
