Within 24 hours, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has broken the XBLA record for the most sales upon release, claiming the hill over RedLynx’s enormously addictive title, Trials Evolution. Although this is quite an accomplishment for any developer, others feel that the game’s success was propelled by Microsoft favoritism.
Earlier this week we brought you some crazy videos featuring the three Rin assassin sisters from Anarchy Reigns. Today, we have two dozen more screens from the multiplayer fighting game. Most of the game's impressive roster is well represented. Jack Cayman and Co. are dishing out pain by the bucketload. I don't know what's happening in the header image, but Durga's mechanical foot looks like it means business.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier launches in 11 days. Are you ready for some DLC news? Yes, you heard me right, Ubisoft has DLC slated for a July release.
The staff has Diablo on the brain. And with good reason. Diablo 3 hits next week so must of us our doing our best warm-up routine - playing Diablo 2, Torchlight 2 or anything else that reminds us of how to click a mouse.
Every year, the gaming industry finds new ways to make a buck from our insatiable desire for everything related to video games. In many cases, we're paying for content of very little value. Are we being exploited?
If our gut is correct, we believe that Warner Bros. will more than likely release a widely-expected version of LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Videogame. The title has been hinted at being on its way, according to the packaging for the new line of LEGO Lord of the Rings toys, based off of the three Peter Jackson movies inspired by the books.
Kalypso have just sent over a handful of new screens for Legends of Pegasus, the 4X strategy game set to come out on the PC this summer. Graphically the game is looking really good, but its the ship customization features and co-op play that has us the most excited.
At Co-Optimus we like to cater for all tastes, so for every ten headshot heavy, gun blasting violence-athons, we throw in a family friendly title. Brave: The Video Game is one such family affair; due alongside the Pixar film on July 24th across PS3, 360, PC and Wii (27th in the UK). The new trailer features gameplay, of the solo variety, but also some bear action. That is bear, as in furry mammal and not bare as in nude. If you want that sort of thing please read an article on one of the more adult games - try Catherine.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is only a few weeks away, so it might be time to clear out your backlog of Ghost Recon and other Tom Clancy games. At least, that's what Microsoft thinks, hence the Tom Clancy DLC sale on Xbox Live. Downloadable content for both GRAWs, Splinter Cell Conviction (my favorite Clancy game), and even the high-flying HAWX games are all on sale for half off for Xbox Live Gold members until Tuesday.
Just a friendly reminder to the Co-Optimus community: The Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition requires an HDTV for local co-op play. We mentioned this in our Co-Op Review yesterday, although it may not have been clear. We have updated the review accordingly.
Serious Sam 3: BFE is still coming to the Xbox 360. That's a relief. Playing on the computer is nice and all, but I really want to play from my couch, so I'm all for it. Croteam, the developer of the Sam franchise, recently gave a status update for the console versions in a Facebook post.
