We're a few minutes away from posting our Shoot Many Robots review. Here's a little taste of what you can expect. This launch trailer captures the general idea. You and three friends shoot robots, score loot, and then shoot more robots. Our Co-Op Review will be up shortly. Be sure to check out our video review at the end of article. It has a sexy voice-over. And check back with Co-Optimus later today for the opportunity to win Shoot Many Robot codes!
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's first major content pack is upon us and with it comes two brand new cooperative missions. We went through the original Spec-Ops missions extensively and for the most part, these are some of the best Call of Duty set pieces to date, especially since they are meant to be experienced with a buddy. On top of these there's a handful of new maps for Modern Warfare 3's survival mode.
It's only been a few weeks since we've seen the best trailer in videogames this year. Borderlands 2 looks to be bigger, better and more badass than the original in many ways. Game Informer has an interview with the game's writer Anthony Burch and concept artist Scott Kester in which they chat about the changes coming to the sequel, including details on the new characters, abilities, and story.
Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Want to know what just happened to put me in such a fragile mental state? Check out the new video for Kinect Star Wars. It shows off the Pod Racing and Lightsaber games. Warning, the video also contains Stormtroopers dancing to the disco strains of The Village People's Y.M.C.A. What is seen cannot be unseen.
People who love the Resident Evil series often can’t accept it taking off into new directions. Resident Evil Revelations might have been a single player experience in the final version, but what happened if it were originally designed differently? What if they meant to take their Resident Evil 3DS debut in a different direction?
The Lord of the Rings saga has always been popular, but perhaps never before has it been as mainstream as it is now. A decade ago, the movie trilogy brought orcs, elves, and dwarves into theaters and then our living rooms as never before. Later this year, the long delayed film based on the Hobbit will be released. For Tabletop Co-Op this month, we'll look at a card game based on Tolkien's magnificent setting.
The Playstation Portable Phantasy Star Portable games were pretty great, but multiplayer was restricted to local wireless, making it difficult for most of us to enjoy co-op questing together. Besides, they were based on Phantasy Star Universe, and everybody who's anybody likes the original Phantasy Star Online better. Good news for the cool kids then, because not only is SEGA making a real Phantasy Star Online 2, but it's coming to the Playstation Vita!
While several notable Xbox Live Arcade games launched during February's Must Have Games 2012 promotion, actual XBLA deals were less than exciting. Now that March has come along, Microsoft is really kicking things into gear with not one, but two big sales this week (and that's on top of the month-long ilomilo sale). All told, 10 downloadable games featuring co-op are on sale for half-off this week, including Konami hits X-Men Arcade, Hard Corps: Uprising, and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. We've compiled a list complete with co-op details to make your purchasing decisions easier.
Mass Effect 3 was released last week on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The game concludes the epic trilogy of Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy...or does it? New to the game is a four player co-op mode which actually has an effect on your single player campaign. You can read more about the game in our Co-Op Spotlight and we'll have our review later this week.
"KickStarting" is all the rage these days in game development. It's the idea that you can connect directly to your potential customers while a product is in it's earliest phases of design and conception. These users invest in your project, which in turn, you use the money to fund creation. As an incentive, you give these people perks, much like people who buy collector's editions of games get, but on a whole new level.
Cowabunga dude! Remember the tubular-talking, pizza eating, crime fighting team of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? In case you didn't, or are too young to remember the good ol' days of anthropomorphic crime fighters, it looks like Activision is going to give you a little reminder.
I'll make this short and sweet: If you're willing to spend 25 bucks this week you can get two of the best co-op games of early 2012.
