We've enjoyed the Gauntlet reboot quite a bit. The game takes everything we liked in the original and gives it a fresh modern spin. The devs at Arrowhead Games and Warner Bros. are continuing to support the title, adding in new content like the Necromancer (for a price) and new modes of play like the Colosseum (for free).
Bioware have patched Dragon Age Inquisition today with bringing it to Version 1.03. Despite the minor version increase the update addresses a ton of bugs for both single player and multiplayer. While the game didn't win our Co-Op Game of the Year in 2014, it's still one we enjoy playing.
Volition have never been a developer to shy away from using their odd sense of humor and that is evident once more in the launch trailer for Saints Row: Gat out of Hell. If you want people to buy a game, what better way than the hard sell? However, this infomercial may be taking it a little far.
The Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition for consoles was recently announced by 505 Games and Rebellion. Coming to Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, and PS3, the Ultimate Edition will include the base game as well as nine DLC.
It's been a few months since we launched a brand new T-Shirt store in partnership with TeePublic. Our store not only sells the official Co-Optimus branded T-Shirt, but dozens of other co-op themed t-shirts created by the community. Today we're giving away three shirts to some lucky readers, and all you need to do is pick your favorite design and caption it from our store.
In 2008, I was lucky enough to join the Co-Optimus team. I've always enjoyed writing, and the opportunity to write about video games, another passion of mine, was something I couldn't pass up. Almost seven years, hundreds of news articles, and dozens of game reviews later, I have taken the next step by writing my first book!
Got a PC and a ton of time this weekend? You're in luck, because Steam likes you very, very much. From now through Sunday at 1 p.m. Pacific Time, you can download and play both Civilization: Beyond Earth and Saints Row IV for free. Go on, call the co-op buddies. It's time to either conquer the world or save it from an alien invasion!
Only a couple weeks remain until "Havoc", the first of four planned Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare DLC packs, is upon us. Along with increasing the map variety with 4 new competitive multiplayer maps, developers Sledgehammer have also expanded the game's weaponry in the form of the AE-4, a directed energy rifle.
Everyone will be getting their hands on Evolve in just a few short weeks, to assure a smooth launch there's an open technical beta happening this weekend which will stress the server infrastructure the team has in place. That means a whole lot of the crew is checking the game out.
And... it's... out! TRISTOY caught our attention when it promised a metroidvania experience that was not only steeped in story but also exclusively co-op. No solo play, just you and a local or online friend solving puzzles and exploring a twisted world of danger.
There is nothing I enjoy more than dressing up in all in one green spandex; so this has made me a big fan of Tingle in Majora's Mask. Thankfully, the new DLC for Hyrule Warriors will allow me to fight as the be-spandexed hero and more.
Well, it's been out on Android, iOS and OUYA for, like, a year. Don't you think it's about time Billy and Jimmy got their act together for some PC co-op brawling? DotEmu agrees, and so Double Dragon Trilogy is finally available on Steam and GOG!
