Summer is a great time to stay in doors and play video games, especially if you live in an area where it's in the 80s and it's humid all day every day. If you own an Xbox One, your chance to pick up a lot of co-op games for cheap starts tomorrow with Microsoft's "Ultimate Game Sale," with a fair number of titles being discounted up to 50% off.
The barbecue grill celebrating American Independence might have gone cold, but BROFORCE aims to keep it hot with a full canister of napalm. The Bros down at Free Lives dropped the Fat Man of all updates straight to PC's everywhere with the new "Independence Update," to celebrate the 4th of July. After all, these new Bros might scorch anything that isn't a bald eagle or the Constitution. Add them to your squad so you and your three Bros can punch terrorists into burning chunks of Democracy.
The Southend sewage system runs deep beneath the city proper. A man who swears he saw the Apaches cut down Custer himself roams the muck-lined thoroughfares. Once another swig of gas station whiskey has made its way past his craw, he crouches low. Pure silence and invisibility are needed if he is to catch his prey. He takes a few steps forward and peers down the dimly lit tunnel. The rat ten feet away from him has discovered a food source of its own and is currently in the throes of a certain kind of pleasure that only rodents can know. The man's addled mind imagines the face of the rat replaced with that of his Bulgarian nemesis, Bozhidar Mitrev. The two creatures lock eyes for a moment and snarl.
Howdy, folks! What games will you enjoying this celebratory weekend? Here's what we've got on deck:
You hear rumors every now and again, tales from the hinterlands told by old coots and fresh, blurry-eyed adolescents. They speak of free-to-play games that are neither invasive nor sleazy. Games that wish only to provide enjoyment and to recoup costs in parallel with their players' desire. Whispers on the autumn wind speak the name of one such game. If you listen closely, you can hear the voice of what some attribute to a young girl, others to a pleasant old man. Whatever the case, the phrase they speak is clear: "Path of Exile".
Rockstar has announced that the Ill-Gotten Gains: Part 2 DLC will be coming to the Grand Theft Auto Online component of Grand Theft Auto V. It will drop on all available platforms July 8th. Rockstar also revealed that another Ill Gotten-Gains Event Weekend will follow the DLC's launch, starting on July 10th.
A new trailer of the new Strike Vector shows off exactly what console users can expect to see in its enhanced version: Strike Vector EX.
The more games released about space and the dangers therein, the more I start to wonder if Elon Musk and Co. should maybe focus on exploring more domestic arenas, like IKEA stores or North Dakota. The Red Solstice, an 8 player tactical co-op shooter coming out of Early Access on July 9th, provides even more reasoning why space just ain't worth it.
The sun is in the sky and the flowers are blooming. What better thing to do than stay indoors and play cheap games on your Xbox 360 and Xbox One? This week sees a reduction on a fair few titles including Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, Burnout Paradise and Syndicate.
Last week, Evolve received a pretty large update on consoles. And not just any large update, but the kind that makes your finger ache from all the page scrolling in reading about it online. Update 4.0 hits us with an explosion of fixes and a mini patch note novel.
A single, scorching light focuses upon Chester McSlappy. His vision blanks for a moment as his eyes adjust, raising a hand to shield himself from the cascade of light. Donned in his finest tracksuit, fresh from the cleaners, with a belly full of vodka he may have snagged at a gas station on the way to this ever important board meeting, he hovers an easy three inches above the ground. Despite Southend United's recent success, and the wicked intoxication, his palms still sweat under the unseen gaze of the Board.
One of the new games shown during Nintendo's E3 Digital event was a new Legend of Zelda game, though not the one for which fans were probably hoping. The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is an upcoming 3DS title which allows three players to team up to do some puzzle solving by dressing up like Zelda and then forming totems of power. At least, that's the impression I got.
