Sword Coast Legends is out in just a few days on PC, the D&D based game is a classic RPG in every sense. But there's something Sword Coast Legends offers that we haven't seen to this level before, and that's the ability to have a live DM play alongside a party of four players.
Hello, hello! The vice grip of traveling and responsibilities has tightened for some of us this weekend, but nevertheless, the Co-Opticrew soldiers on.
While the time period where you could submit your application to be part of the Dark Souls 3 network stress test this weekend has come and gone, you can still get your Souls fix with these new screens showing off some of the multiplayer pieces of the game.
As resident co-op sage, Jason Love, so wisely predicted, BROFORCE is indeed out today on PC for your adrenaline-fueled pleasure. For a while there, fans couldn't be faulted for feeling that it would be stuck in the quagmire of Early Access for all eternity, but G'newell (the dark prince of Early Access) has found his quarry escaped, and the game has finally emerged from his dominion.
There was a particular genre of games, a rather niche genre, that existed in my gaming youth. It could best be described as "action flight simulator" and while it hasn't carried forward into today's gaming market as readily as the 'shmups and platformers, many of its ideas and mechanics can be found in modern flight sims.

Dune buggy enthusiasts everywhere reveled in the Gamescom announcement of Dying Light's "The Following" DLC, finally giving you and your homies a method of cruising through the zombie apocalypse in style. You'd better start digging through your closet for your vintage racing goggles soon, since "The Following" is set to roll on up during the first three months of 2016. You and your co-op partners can toil away the winter months scraping gore off your roll cages.
Trendy Entertainment, developer of Dungeon Defenders II, gazed upon the hordes of malnourished tower defense enthusiasts and found them weak, malnourished, and craving a new title to feast upon. "But, they lack the necessary funds", their miserly advisers told them, "they cannot afford to even dream of our forthcoming title." Nevertheless, the developers saw the masses' desperation, and their morality rang true. "Give the people what they need", they said, "and make it free, make it all free."
Frankly, I never thought the End Times would be as a result of colossal rat-people. Zombies, sure. Maybe even Draculas. But rat folks? Didn't see that coming. Luckily for us, here to stem the onslaught of Skaven in Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide is one Bardin Goreksson, the Dwarf Ranger. Not sure what exactly qualifies him as a Ranger, given that he's most at home burying an axe in some rat-dude's brain, but that's what he calls himself, and who am I to judge a furious ball of destruction.
At New York Comic Con last week I went hands on with several 505 Games published titles. I rather enjoyed upcoming indie title Indivisible, which mixes side scrolling fighting with a JRPG style game. I also really dug checking out Adr1ft on the Oculus Rift, a truly unique experience for sure. But it was How to Survive 2 I was there to see for Co-Optimus; the upcoming sequel boasting 16 player server support and four player co-op.
About 9 million participated in the Star Wars: Battlefront Beta this last weekend.

I still haven't checked out ARK: Survival Evolved, even though the idea of taming dinosaurs/mammoths and riding them does sound awfully appealing. The newest dinosaur has been revealed, the flying Quetzalcoatlus, and uh... you can put a gun platform on its back?! *runs off to download game*
The PC version of Sword Coast Legends arrives next week, and I'm getting kind of excited for the prospects of what the game could be. Namely, a way to conduct an entire D&D campaign (complete with DM) for a group of friends using familiar cRPG mechanics. In anticipation of its impending release, please enjoy these videos of a couple of the actors voicing some of the characters.
