Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure has been so off my radar, it might as well have been in stealth mode. If you're anything like me you usually stop reading about a game as soon as you get to the word "Disney." Heck, a lot of you stop reading when you see the word "Kinect." I wonder what would happen if they named the game: "Pixar's Kinect Adventures." Hmm...
This week we have two team-based co-op games launching; one featuring mechs, the other featuring zombies. Another game centers on ninjas. I'll let you guess which one. Mechs, zombies, and ninjas? All we need now are some aliens and we'll have the quadrilateral base of the perfect gaming Pyramid of Villainy. Cap it all off with some Nazis and we'll have ourselves a party! (Nazis always cap the pyramid. Always.)
As successful iPhone game now going 3-D, Bulkypix’s upcoming title, Babel Rising, puts you in the place of an angry god looking for some sinful humans to sacrifice.
Quick! Take a gander at these handful of screenshots from the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II for XBLA and PSN. The two player co-op game has players jumping into the red shoes of Sonic or the white kicks of Tails as they race through some beautiful looking enviornments to defeat Dr. Robotnik. You can even team up and take him on in two player co-op.
Don't call it DLC, FrozenByte wants to call the content a AAAA expansion. Whatever label you want to give it, Trine 2 is getting six new areas to explore, additional story content and more skills to play with in this physics based puzzler on the PC, 360, and PS3.
The 2012 Formula One season may have only just begun, but Codemasters are already on the fast track with an announcement that F1 2012 will be in shops for September 2012. The previous iteration's co-op mode had more bugs than Mr Liceman the most lice ridden man in Liceington. However, after patching the game F1 2011 co-op finally became playable and hopefully Codemasters have learnt their lesson. To sweeten the deal 2012 promises more co-op than ever.
We're not quite sure how to explain what happens on the latest Co-Opticast, but we do want to apologize in advanced. After a meaty what you've been playing segment where the crew all played Mass Effect 3, they moved onto the news. Can you say Diablo 3 release date? We then discuss the launch of the new consoles...is it too soon? Finally onto more ME3 talk. It sounds innocent...but is it? Find out in the latest Co-Opticast.
For this month's Co-Optimus Community Voice, we asked the community if they're ready for the next generation of consoles. So far, the answer has been a unanimous "heck no." Everyone seems to have a variety of reasons, but one common thread is that better graphics alone won't cut it. I can't agree more! Let's take a look at two great responses.
If you played the first Borderlands on PC, you'll know that it wasn't exactly frustration-free. For example, getting people into a lobby together was often a problem, and players couldn't use the mouse in the game menus. It was still a fun game, but it was painfully clear to the PC crowd that this was a console game and that minimal work had been done to take advantage of the awesomeness that is PC gaming. Good, homicidal robot that he is, Claptrap has listened to our PC woes and promises that Borderlands 2 will be different; Borderlands 2 will have special, PC-only features.
There's only two games that matter this weekend for the Co-Opticrew. It's either Mass Effect 3 or Shoot Many Robots. Will we shoot reapers in the face or robots in the butt? That is the question we have to answer. If neither of those are your style, perhaps you want to join us for the Trine 2 co-op night tonight?
We all like having our favorite games on us when we are on the go, but what if I told you can take a game you play on your TV and pick up right where you left off on your phone? Well, Sonic 4: Episode II will now feature this convenient synchronizing capability come release!
It looks like EA is taking a play from Call of Duty and Gears of War by having special weekend promotions for the multiplayer aspect of their game. This weekend you an hop on Mass Effect 3's co-op gameplay with a chance to earn special item packs just by completing the following challenges.
