Mommy's Best Games may be best known (in recent times) for Serious Sam Double D XXL. Prior to making that game, however, they had been cranking out some quality action games for quite some time on XBLIG; titles like Explosionade, Weapon of Choice, and Shoot 1UP that got me into checking out the indie game scene more. These games are finally making the transition onto Steam on September 23rd.
Destiny: The Taken King has released and the changes are considerably impactful from top to bottom. Developer Bungie has decided to retool just about every major component of the game, including the endgame PvE activities Nightfall and Heroic Strikes. The major reason for the big change is so that the events in Destiny feel like less of a chore. According to Creative Director Luke Smith the team did not like the way players feel they need to do the Nightfall right away, they want to change that.
Don't you just hate it when you're minding your own business and then BOOM! aliens release a virus upon mankind that turns us all into flesh-eating monsters? Yeah, me too. But you know what? Maybe we should do something about it. Maybe we should get together and play Xenocide and stick it to 'em!
Ah, I remember the days of yore. Long before LEGO Dimensions, I'd plop down on my bedroom floor and spend hours bringing my mish-mash of LEGO sets to life. Whether it was a party of knights facing down a few overly aggressive pirates or Indiana Jones taking on a Sith apprentice, one common thread ran throughout. The voice acting was... let's say "amateurish".
Last night the Monday Night Stream crew checked out SMITE, the MOBA that mixes gods with 3rd person action. The game has been around for a quite a while actually, but recently found its way onto Xbox One and now Steam - so we felt it was a good of time as any to play.
By most accounts, the 80s were the cinematic peak of character action movies. You had your John Rambos and your John McClanes turning bad guys into piles of far-less-alive bad guys. You had your Terminators and your Predators providing hours of evidence that Arnold Schwarzenegger is indestructible. Those movies are thoroughly fake, of course (everyone knows Schwarzenegger's weakness is [REDACTED]), but within every lie is an inkling of truth. That's why Tango Fiesta aims to tell the real story on September 24th.
Halo 5 is a little over a month away, but if you simply can't wait to see what the game's four player co-op campaign has to offer, there's a low quality shaky cam leak that shows off Master Chief's side of the campaign for the first time. To date, we've only been gifted with Spartan Locke's view of the action.
A scant year ago, we relished the first details of StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void's dedicated co-op mode with the official announcement of the game. Then Blizzard went radio silent on the final piece of their wildly popular sci-fi strategy title, leaving us clamoring for new info. This weekend at the Starcraft II World Championship Series, Blizzard dropped the mic on the stage by casually tossing out the release date and watching the ensuing scramble of everyone dashing to their PCs. You and your co-op commander of choice will be waging cosmic war against the enemies of the galaxy November 10th.
Last month, MMO Co-Opportunities featured part 1 of a hands-on preview of the upcoming expansion for Guild Wars 2, Heart of Thorns. In it, I gave some impressions of the new profession (the Revenant), one of the new elite specializations for the game (the Dragonhunter for the Guardian), and some thoughts of the general feel of the new zone. This mo...
Hey gang, what's up? It feels like just yesterday that the staff was rife with an urge for strategy games. That feeling has passed, though, shifted to a slightly more tactical craving. Tactical espionage, that is. Otherwise, we're discovering the magic of the indie gaming scene, yelling at our significant others in space, and playing virtual board games. As always, be sure to check out Eric Murphy tonight at 8pm CDT as he and the F.A.L.C.O. crew take on the somehow wealthy undead.
Well, this is it, folks. Prepare your wallets for the impending demand that the latest "toys-to-life" title, Skylanders SuperChargers, will place on them when it arrives later this month on all of the consoles. Which ones, exactly? EVERY ONE!
That's right, Dungeon Defenders II, the sequel to the hit action tower defense title of 2011, has now hit "Alpha" status. Commence with the breaking of the game, for science!
