There's a great deal today on the Microsoft store for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Destiny. Each game is priced at just $29.99 for the Xbox One, which is 50% off the normal price. This is the lowest price we've seen this holiday shopping season.
Destiny is back on the menu thanks to a fresh expansion but we haven't forgotten our old friend Dragon Age either. There's another new release this week a few of us will dive into, can you guess what it is?
PlayStation owners are treated with a few pieces of exclusive content in Destiny's first expansion called The Dark Below. One of those is a cooperative strike called The Undying Mind. It's set on Mars as players take on swarms of Vex enemies.
Sometimes, you've gotta work with people you don't particularly like. For Batman, that means allying himself with two-bit villains like Captain Boomerang and Black Manta. The next DLC adventure for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham has been named "The Squad." Now, this title is referring to Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad, but suicide is a pretty loose concept for a LEGO game, so we're just going with "The Squad" for now.
One month after its release, Assassin's Creed Unity is finally nearing a state of competent playability. The stealth-based action game was absolutely riddled with bugs and framerate issues when it first appeared on shelves, but Ubisoft sought to make good as quickly as possible by providing players with a full list of known issues and then working to remedy them as punctually as possible. When that was deemed not enough to convince gamers that the company was not, in fact, Satan incarnate, they then discontinued their season pass program, offering compensation in the hopes that it would sate their customers until Unity was in a satisfactory state.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel has finally received a third playthrough mode for people who just can't get enough moon hopping on Elpis. The free update releases for Xbox 360 on December 11, while PS3 and Steam users get their Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode on December 16. To Marcus' to celebrate!
Back in May, Co-Optimus brought you the news that the quintessential single player game Don't Starve was going to get a co-op add on in the summer. The warm months may have come and gone already, but those of us that did survive will finally get to play Don't Starve Together from December 15th on Steam Early Access.
Festive! Christmas! Santa! Other celebratory winter-type words! With just about any event or holiday, a new pack of skins arrives for Minecraft: Xbox One Edition and Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition. Since this whole end-of-December thing is a pretty big one, Microsoft has wrapped up a big package of Christmas skins to make rutting sure you're in the holiday spirit.
The latest round of Deals with Gold for the Xbox Games Store has rolled out, and the pickings are a bit slim this time around. Presumably everyone's too busy staring at the decorations on their neighbor's house to sit down and play some games. Anyway, there is one treat amongst the bunch: Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare for 66% off!
We have a little bit more insight on a special mode found within Evolve, called "Evacuation"! Take the experience of Evolve and turn it into a five-round match with new variables introduced each game.
The Zeds are back, and they're coming for your high definition graphics! Killing Floor 2, the followup to 2009's incredibly British co-op FPS bearing a similar name, has been announced for release in 2015 on Playstation 4 (alongside PC, of course). Among the myriad of news stories coming from last weekend's Playstation Experience, Tripwire Interactive revealed to the world that they would, for the first time, be debuting their horrific take on zombie survival on a major console. As anticipated, their announcement trailer is filled with the sick guitar riffs and zombie mutilation we've come to expect from the series.
We had a chance to sit down with Alex Mintsioulis of Logic Artists, the team behind the 90’s inspired spy action game Clandestine. After an extended preview play session it was apparent they were doing something very different with the co-op. Part stealth, part hacking, partners must work together in their separate roles in order to uncover a conspiracy.
