Silly Season is upon us once more as we are bombarded with top titles after a relatively quiet summer. For families, one of the games to look forward to is the 2 player local co-op title Skylanders Superchargers. Still part of the popular platform series, this time the game has vehicles. These are no ordinary vehicles, let the launch trailer show you how they are different.
Be it through books, games, or movies, the fantasy genre of late has started to take a closer look at mankind's greatest foe: the orc. Stances have begun to soften, their portrayals as heartless monsters have been replaced with those presenting them as savage, yet honorable creatures, and certainly not created to oppose the forces of good. The Orcs Must Die! franchise (including Orcs Must Die! Unchained) brings us back to the days of yore, when orcs were evil and needed to be slain. That was that.
The Sniper Elite franchise, to me, is all about those slow motion bullet cam death. I mean, when you line up a perfect shot and get to watch the gory fruits of your labor, it's oddly satisfying. Apparently the Left 4 Dead folks felt the same as the characters from both the first and second game are now playable in Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army.
I'm always amazed when I see news about a game that is over a year old getting an update. When that game is three years old, that's even more impressive. Happy Wars, the third-person arena action game that saw its release on Xbox One this past spring, received its twentieth (twenty-fifth?) title update last month.
Pontius the Knight, Amadeus the Wizard and Zoya the Thief are back! Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is a big new entry in the Trine series from Frozenbyte, bringing back all the puzzle solving co-op action we love, complete with some amazing new visuals.
A few weeks back, Arrowhead Studios announced the updated and modern version of Gauntlet was finally heading to PS4 as Gauntlet: Slayer Edition, towing a handful of neat updates along with it. Meanwhile, PC owners were kind of like "Well, what about us?". A free update for us, that's what.
Warlocks vs Shadows has created a new genre of co-op gaming. One in which a bass dropping wizard can unleash phat beats upon enemies while his co-op partner dances like its his job unleashing a storm of fireballs from the sky. If that's isn't a unique co-op experience, I don't know what is. In our latest let's play, we take a look at the final version of the indie action game on Steam in two player co-op - though you can play four. Can you imagine the sick beats?
Do you love Tom Clancy games? Do you like exclusive t-shirts? Would you like to save a kid's or veteran's life? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then you should definitely check out the Humble Tom Clancy Bundle. For only $75, you could virtually walk away with Rainbow Six Siege (pre-order), an awesome Rainbow Six Siege t-shirt, a ton of Tom Clancy games, and that great heartwarming feeling you get after donating to Extra Life and Operation Supply Drop.
The relaxation of Labor Day Weekend is nearly upon us, and with it comes the latest update to the decidedly un-relaxing Killing Floor 2. Unless, that is, you find zombie dismemberment relaxing. Look, Co-optimus is a judgement-free zone. Some people need a quiet room and meditation, others need to rip the arms off legions of the undead.
Toy Soldiers: War Chest brings the nostalgia and mashes together your favorite toys from the 80's into a living room battlefield. With their own take on tower defense, Signal Studios doesn't depart much from their formula but cranks the knob on the nostalgia.
The lives of Pit People are both short and cruel. Forced to wage war on a hexagonal battlefield, watching colossal monstrosities crush houses and enemies alike, charging through the air on giraffes held aloft by a handful of balloons. These are all elements in the terrible existence of a Pit Person. Or, at least, they are if this perplexing trailer is any indication.
Ladies and Gentlemen, in case you haven’t already seen the signs Star Wars fever is upon us and it’s looking to get a whole lot bigger this holiday season. With the recent launch of Disney Infinity 3.0, the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront game and Star Wars: The Force Awakens hitting theaters in December it is honestly the best year to be a Star Wars fan. So it looks like September, November and December are all covered with fantastic Star Wars stuff, but what about October? Are we really going to go a whole month with nothing to fulfill our Star Wars pallet? Well it looks like that is no longer the case thanks to EA.
