Last week Locke, Mike and Nick started a co-op playthrough of Trine 2 on PC. They loved it so much they figured, why not play through the entire game and chronicle the event. So today we present to you part two of our Extremely Magical Puzzling Solving series on Trine 2. Hopefully you can see some of our truly "inventive" ways of twisting the physics engine to our liking by watching the video.
Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition just got a huge upgrade for owners of the recent release of the classic 1996 shooter which originally developed by 3D Realms. The Steam version of the game now has built in online mulitplayer for up to eight players with Steam integration and more. Better still the release now includes the Build level editor as well as Steam Workshop support for user created levels.
Because fast-paced combat on the ground just isn't exciting enough, Culture Attack Studio's Aces Wild: Manic Brawling Action! is all about fighting in the air. Sure, there's some ground stuff going on, but this martial arts combat game is focused on combat that quite unsensibly defies the laws of gravity.
Folks throw a lot of well-deserved flak at the Dynasty Warriors franchise, so they've decided to up their game by naming the newest title Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends, available on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and the PS Vita March 25th in the US, and April 4th in the UK. Not only are they trying to appeal to the hardcore crowd, but they have a tenuous grasp on how to sound cool in English, and also because it worked so well for Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
The gaming arm of Disney is doing pretty well these days. Driven by sales of Disney Infinity, Disney Interactive posted revenue of $403 million during the last three months of 2013, a 38% increase from the previous year. Epic Mickey 2 isn't responsible for the rise, it's those meddling plastic toys!
We were extremely disappointed with Takedown: Red Sabre when we reviewed it last fall on the PC; however, developer Serellan and publisher 505 Games have been trying to make things right since then. They've deployed extra free copies to owners, AI improvements, and multiple patches and free DLCs.
Wayforward's bro-op brawler Double Dragon: Neon hit XBLA and PSN in the fall of 2012, but PC owners can finally get their knuckles dirty with their very own Steam version of the game! The best part is it supports both local and online co-op out of the box. If it had a box, of course.
The LEGO series has become a staple element of many Co-Optimus reader's gaming diet, with their hours of 2 player local co-op entertainment. However, until now we have been familiar with the properties the games are based on. Thankfully, the same can probably be said of The LEGO Movie Videogame, the film just made over $69 million in its first weekend!
When free-to-play access available for a game, there's little to no reason not to give it a go at least once. Gamers who own an Xbox 360 currently have the opportunity to try out the open beta for Warface, now underway!
We all know how smart octopodes (that's right, we're being pedantic) can be. Their curious brains, slimy tentacles and squishable bodies let them get into all sorts of mischief under the sea. But how clever does an octopus have to be to live on land? To wear a suit? To have a wife and be a father to two children? It's some clever hoodwi...
For my money, there is nothing out there that meets Child of Light for graphical awe. The first impressions enchanted me in a way few games do, and has refused to let me go ever since. The visuals alone would have kept me begging for more, though combine that with combat influenced by Grandia 2 and April 30th needs to get here faster. This little title swoops in at $14.99 for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the PC.
As a Saint, you've worn plenty of different hats over the years. Whether it's taking fashion tips from anime characters, embracing your inner caveman, or taking Talk Like a Pirate Day way too seriously, every Saint has always kept to one unyielding rule. There ain't nothin' in this world more important than money. You know. Dosh. Scrilla. Benjamins. Chedder. Dolla-dolla bills, yo.
