Look out Humble Bundle fans! The most recent offerings revolve around many Sid Meier titles, including some of the popular Civilization series. You choose how much to pay, where your money will be donated to, and what kind of game content you'll have access to.
Co-op space shooter Retrobooster is set to release February 21st for Windows and Linux. This space shooter may be set at "1980s difficulty" but it certainly doesn't have 1980s controls or graphics. The game balances navigation, intense firefights, puzzles, and high speed flying into a beautiful looking experience.
This week's co-op stream broadcast last night on Twitch.tv involved Locke, Mike and Nick in Trine 2 on the PC. The game has been out for a while now, though it has seen a recent release on the PlayStation 4 and Wii U - but this co-op title surely deserves the attention. If you watch(ed) the stream you surely heard us stating just how pretty the game is over and over.
The Viking-like Snowmads have invaded the lush, jungle paradise of Donkey Kong Island and placed a permanent freeze on the landscape. It's up to you, as well as a co-op buddy, to rid the island of the evil-doers and return it to its natural state in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
Perhaps if you lived in Japan in 1995 you got to play The Firemen 2: Pete & Danny on the original PlayStation. For those of us in North America, our first chance of getting our hands on the fire hose came in late January, as The Firemen 2 saw it's North American release on PSN.
According to Xbox Live's resident Guru Major Nelson, Dead Island (normally $19.99) and Toy Soldiers: Cold War (normally $14.99) are available this month, free of charge, for any Games with Gold members. Games with Gold is Xbox Live's response to PlaystationPlus , offering free titles to any subscribers. True, PlaystationPlus does normally give access to a greater range of games, but two free games a month ain't so bad.
Omega Force is taking their well-known Dynasty Warriors action back to Japan with Toukiden: The Age of Demons. The game was a huge hit in Japan and is finally seeing a U.S. release in just a week's time. Before that, though, you can check out the demo to see what it's all about.
It was only a few months ago that D-Link released their latest gaming router to the market, the DGL-5500. We put it through its paces and came away pretty impressed. Today we're going to look at another router being marketed at the high end home user, the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk. But even with advanced features and performance the Nighthawk needs to serve the average home user. Let's see how it stacks up against the competition.
The chaps down at Playstation Access have graced us with some gameplay footage of Dark Souls 2. This isn't any kind of meticulously edited trailer or anything, this is straight up real in game footage being played by them and some Namco Bandai employees. And because it is Dark Souls, you will see nothing but the cold face of death in multiple forms. Besides, is there anything more entertaining than having two British dudes commenting over a series of clips from one of your most anticipated titles?
After what feels like months of hiatus...oh wait - it really has been month - the Co-Op Release Alerts are back. We actually have a tangible co-op game releasing this week. It's a new year's miracle. Hold on to your butts.
The Global Game Jam went down last week, and when you get enough crazy people in a room together, madness is to be the only outcome. Which brings us to Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, a co-op game where a player attempts to disarm a bomb as guided by someone who can't see anything they are doing. And if you don't think that's the greatest video game title in the history of time then you would be only lying to yourself.
The Humble Bundle has been a reoccurring bounty in recent times for co-op fans and the trend looks like continuing in the Codemasters sale. For the next three days you can get 8 games for as little as $6, including Operation Flashpoint: Red River and Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising.
