While we may have found quite a few faults in The Scourge Project, it appears developer Tragnarion didn't sit idely by while develping the console version. In fact, the console version isn't even the same game as the 2010 PC 3rd person shooter, instead Scourge: Outbreak is a brand new game built from the ground up for console gamers.
Team Fortress 2 is an incredibly popular game from Valve that has had pretty consistent content updates for the better part of the last 3 years, and I don't just mean the hats. Now the game is getting what some might consider the biggest update since release - and entire new "faction" of of characters have joined the game. Except these aren't Reds or Blues, rather these are machines and it's time to team up with your friends against them in a survival mode.
The world is full of creatively bankrupt fantasy MMOs in the time-honored Everquest/World of Warcraft model. Throw a rock, and you’ll hit approximately a hundred Western/Asian fantasy games that all play alike. Swap art styles and network issues and you’ll have a hard time keeping track sometimes. Every now and again, a game comes along and successfully forges its own identity, and I’m happy to report that The Secret World is one of them.
People must really love Dead Island, because they’ve already been playing it for over 6,500 years, cumulatively of course. We have cooperative gameplay to thank for that.
Borderlands 2 hits store shelves in a little over a month. The hype train is thundering full speed ahead. Today we've got a new video featuring the villainous Handsome Jack. We also have some new information about end-game content for high level characters, as well as some details on the downloadable Mechromancer class.
Happy Monday my co-op people! The long, boring summer is coming to an end. Okay, so most of these games have been out for a while in some form or another, but hey, at least we got a little action this week.
Since its release last year, Age of Empires Online has continued to grow thanks to a steady drip of both free and premium content. Whenever a new premium (paid) empire debuts, Gas Powered Games also rebalances and tweaks the game for all. Such will be the case when the Babylonian Empire and Fertile Crescent Booster Pack (both paid content) debut this week. The Anniversary Update will usher them in, adding new features like the Empire Vault for all players to enjoy.
It may seem odd that we're covering a story that puts co-op in a negative light, but I think that's only true at first glance. To truly understand what's going on with Diablo 3 and just how over 10 million people are playing the game requires a look at the history of the franchise. It's easy to have a knee jerk reaction to a quote, but sometimes it's better to sit back and examine the full picture. First, lets start at the quote in question.
I'm always amazed by the sheer number of video games that are out there. This weekend, I had some friends over, and we spent some time playing games on my arcade cabinet. While scrolling through the list, one buddy was overjoyed to find Xenophobe, a game I was previously unfamiliar with. Later on, a different friend was similarly thrilled to find Xybots, one of his favorite games from many years ago. Today, we'll take a closer look at these twin X-titled classics.
Happy Saturday, gang! It's time for another edition of Beyond Co-Op. Here's where we cover the big industry news unrelated to co-op gaming. Let's do this.
There's absolutely oodles of DLC for Tower Defense/RPG hybrid hit, Dungeon Defenders. Happily for us, the generous folks at Trendy Entertainment even make some of it available to us for free! For the next couple of weeks, the Jester Hero DLC will be available for absolutely free on Steam for PC players.This DLC comes complete with the Jester class, "the Fool" costume for the Jester, a GameLand campaign mission, and 4 new weapons.
While humanity sent a robot the size of a jeep to Mars this week, most of our gaming feats look pale in comparison. Sure some of us are finally wrapping up some backlog titles, but....we put a giant friggin robot on Mars. Luckily you can too with the free Xbox 360 game where you do the same. None of us are playing that though.
