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. It simply came out of left field, snuck up on us right before the busy fall gaming season, and surprised everyone with it's fun gameplay. In a year that saw a new Halo as well as Call of Duty&...

When GTA Online launched, we weren't so sure it offered a good co-op experience. Since the addition of co-op heists, and numerous patches which added co-op friendly features, we can gladly say that there's a ton of co-op fun to be had in GTA Online. The Friday Awesomely Live Co-Op team will show you how to from zero to hero in just a few hours. It certainly helps to have a higher level co-op buddy to play with, but you can make due without.

A new year, new updates to current MMOs. While there are certainly new MMOs on the horizon, of late the trend has been to nurture the player base of existing MMOs. This month, our MMO news stories showcase just that: updates to Neverwinter (on Xbox One), a continuation to the Knights of the Fallen Empire for Star Wars: the Old Republic, and an upco...

In case you missed the news a few months back, Dungeon Defenders II is out, in alpha (Early Access), free to play for all. That's good news right there, but the continuing good news is that developer Trendy Entertainment has rolled out a substantial update. Called The Harbinger Awakens, it's got a new boss, more loot, and according to the official notes, more fun!

Guys.  You guys.  We did it.  We survived another entire year without any (major) mishaps.  I think that's worthy of celebration, at least in the form of another weekend spent on the couch or huddled in front of the warm glow of an LCD monitor.  Staying alive ain't easy work.

Some games arrive and disappear like a mist on a cold morning, but some others hang around like that strange stain you have never quite managed to get out of the carpet.  Dying Light is just like that stubborn stain, in that it refuses to go.  Dying Light: The Following is the biggest expansion for the game yet and is out in February, a new trailer has been released to hype the train.

Loose lips might sink a ship or two, but how often do they lead to the annihilation of the United States for the glory of the DPRK? The Proud, All-American institution of Target (purveyor of fine home goods and designer toilet seats) might have leaked valuable information regarding the release of Homefront: The Revolution. Possible turncoat employees threw democracy under the bus with a single picture revealing a $5 gift card deal if you purchase the game from their store. 

Co-op enthusiasts who were playing games back in the early 90s may remember a title by the name of Super Buster Bros (or Super Pang, depending on whence you hail). The catch to this shooter was that players could only fire up. Rainer Zoettl and Till Aschwanden, two former Blizzard employers, are looking to revive this particular form of shooting things with the forthcoming The Bug Butcher.

While F.A.L.C.O. is almost always live on Fridays, we've been running into trouble posting the videos on Youtube and here on the site. If you're behind, get ready to binge watch over seven hours of Friday Awesomely Live Co-Op! We played the final Rainbow Six Siege beta before the game's release, lots of Zonaco, and a bit of Killing Floor 2. Check out the videos below!

When will human beings put aside the millions of years of conflict we've inflicted upon each other and focus on the real threat: man-sized robots. They've had it too good for too long. Look at Asimo, as he tumbles down yet another flight of stairs. He's cooking up something in that insidious cyber-brain of his. Perhaps he holds a grudge against humans for building said stairs. Perhaps he just wants to eat babies. I don't know; I'm not a robot.
