Octodad: Dadliest Catch released on PS4 yesterday, and the game is already being offered a discount for PS Plus membership. The game might just suck in both you and bunch of friends for a wacky co-op session.
War games are so prevalent today that they all become a little samey; play the game, learn the maps, rinse and repeat. Warface is trying to prevent this by refreshing the combat with new 5 player co-op missions released on a daily basis. A trailer has launched to celebrate the game's official release on 360.
With every new generation of hardware that launches there is always a lull in content to enjoy. Many times we get prettier versions of games we’ve already played, and most launch titles aren’t what they’re cracked up to be. You’ve probably played the “best co-op games of last gen”, so instead of telling you ...
I think we can all agree that mechs are pretty awesome. Is there a scenario that cannot be improved by the incorporation of a giant, robotic suit with guns attached to every limb?
The next Assassin's Creed title in the franchise, Assassin's Creed Unity, may possibly have a four-player co-op mode included in it that's altogether different than the Wolfpack mode found in the previous games. We might need to wait until E3 to see it officially, a trustworthy source says that the next Assassin's Creed title should see a new type of co-op mode.
Last night some of the Co-Opticrew and community decided to check out the beta version of Secrets of Grindea. The game on the surface looks like a JRPG, plays a bit like a Zelda game, and has hints of a ARPG like loot system. We thought it'd be a good idea to stream our adventures online.
One of the issues that constantly arises here at Co-Optimus headquarters is defining exactly what is, and is not, co-op.

Not to be left behind by Sony's push to welcome indie games/developers to the PS4 fold, Microsoft recently released a list of indie games that would be making their way to the Xbox One console as part of the ID@Xbox program. Many of these are games that have been out on PC or some other platform for a little while and are now getting ported over to the next gen console. Perhaps the best news for us co-op lovers is that a handful of these titles embrace the cooperative spirit!
You know, there was a time when Co-Op only came in one flavor: local. Whether your characters were on screen at the same time or just passing the controller back and forth when it was your dude's time to party, that was all you got. And while we might have gotten used to playing video games without ever having to meet the judgement gaze of another human being, couch co-op is still very much a big deal. Except in Resogun, where online co-op reigns supreme. Until (potentially? maybe?) now.
There's not much this week on the co-op front, but a game a lot of folks have been looking forward to finally hits towards the end of the week. Can you guess what it is?
It's the Easter holiday weekend for a lot of folks, for others it's just another excuse to hopefully have an extra day off of work. The staff seems to have a lot of variety in their plans, most of which includes games - specifically Hearthstone which is out now on iPad. How many opponents do you think are playing on the toilet?
