Looking to get in on a little LEGO action? Wanna get hyped up for the new Batman movie coming next week? Perhaps you should check out the latest co-op LEGO game, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. You'll not only join Batman - but Superman, Robin, The Green Lantern and many other DC super heroes.
Don't look directly at the Dolph. He can kill-punch an elephant through WiFi. This new trailer helps prove the fact that The Expendable 2: The Videogame is not just a figment of my testosterone ravaged imagination. I may have written an exclamatory post announcing this game a few weeks ago. In my constant sleep deprived state I rarely know what's real anymore. Check it out and tell me if your experience is the same as mine.
Spelunky is a charming, super-addictive platformer which has earned a reputation as a tough, but rewarding old-school gaming experience. It has been available on the PC, free of charge, for almost four years. Recently it made the jump to the XBLA, where it has received updated graphics, new secrets, co-op play, and more. All of this comes at a cost, of course. Is Spelunky a treasure worth the price of admission? Find out in our Co-Op Review.
Today I'm incredibly proud to announce that SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance, a side project I've been working on for the better part of the past year, is now available to download on the Xbox Live Indie Games channel. The game is a four player local co-op twin stick shooter with plenty of other elements mixed in like an RPG class system and dozens of upgrades to tweak how your ship handles and performs. With 36 missions, 9 survival missions, and a free play mode there's tons of gameplay to keep you coming back for more.
Phantasy Star Online was probably the first online multiplayer action-RPG for consoles. Thousands of SEGA Dreamcast and GameCube players enjoyed teaming up as hunters on the harsh alien planet of Ragol. Phantasy Star Universe, Zero, and Portable have since followed, but a true sequel has long remained as elusive as a blue rappy... Until now. SEGA has officially confirmed Phantasy Star Online 2 will see a western release! Several variables - such as whether both the PC and Vita versions will be brought over - remain unknown, but we do have an announcement trailer and screenshots to share with you today.
In a follow-up, it has been reported that 343 Industries, the developers of the highly anticipated Halo 4, is already talking another Anniversary title for Halo 2.
Serious Sam 3: BFE is getting some new missions via DLC. The new content is titled "Jewel of the Nile," and it will be available this October on the PC. The missions are set during the BFE storyline, and follow the Serious One as he attempts to procure a "powerful artifact" which will aid humanity in their struggle against the alien onslaught.
Happy Monday, people! Yes, it's still summer, and yes, there's still an appalling lack of triple-A cooperative launch titles. Wouldn't it be great if some newfangled 16 player fighting game extravaganza came along to save the day? Yeah, that would be something.
It's been a pretty slow summer on the MMO front. The two biggest pieces of news that I've found have been the Secret World launching and Guild Wars 2 getting a release date. Let's unravel those now, shall we?
Building one's rage has been an important part of fighting games for decades. Be it the old school throwing of the control pad after you lose, or the more modern take of an in game rage bar allowing you to unlock special moves. In a pique of genius, Capcom have combined both inner and outer game rage by charging $20 to unlock 12 characters for Street Fighter X Tekken already housed on the disc.
It’s Saturday and that can only mean one thing, a lie in! It also means that you get your regular fix of non co-op news from Co-Optimus. This week, have a gander at the Assassin's Creed 3 Limited Edition, sigh as a Beatle writes music for Bungie and witness the birth of a FPS based in the Walking Dead universe.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 3DS is less than two months from release, which means it should be pretty much done development-wise. In certainly looks that way, judging from the huge batch of screenshots Nintendo released this week. We've chosen our favorites to share with you now, including lots of shots with Mario's co-op partner Luigi tagging along. You can tell the green guy's loving the modern cooperative gaming renaissance.
