The Be Mine Bundle is a Valentine's Day themed 'pay what you want' bundle of indie games. There seems to be an indie bundle popping up every couple weeks since the Humble Indie Bundle pioneered this business model. I can't complain since I am a huge supporter of indie games, and this is a great way for smaller games to get exposure in the overwhelmingly large gaming industry.
Capcom have just released fresh new details of Resident Evil 6 for the 360, PS3 and PC. The fact sheet reveals details about the game's characters, playable and otherwise, as well as hints at locations. We also learn that unlike Resident Evil 5's "no these aren't zombies" bad guys, Resident Evil 6 will have full fledged undead.
Sega knows that nothing says "Happy Valentines Day" like a good two player zombie killfest. The House of the Dead 3 hits the PSN today. If you've got a PS Move, and you like light gun games, this is something you and your special someone may want to look into. We've got some new screens in the gallery below. Don't Lisa and G make a cute couple? This HD remake seems to be a marked improvement over the Wii re-release, 2008's The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return. A demo is currently available through the PSN, if you want to take it for a spin.
We have three new videos for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, courtesy of GameTrailers- which presents us with a little conundrum. One of the many hardships that comes with covering video games is the amount of spoilers one can be exposed to if they're not careful. I'm really looking forward to this game, so I'm trying to present these co-op gameplay videos to you without having actually watched them.
The folks at Trendy Entertainment are out to celebrate the heart shaped holiday with special content for Dungeon Defenders. A brand new challenge map called "Sky o Love" is now available as well as bonuses for pairing up boy and girl characters from the game. In addition the tavern now has a love is in the air theme and there's four new outfits for your characters - including pants for the Squire. For shame, I was told pants were optional.
Amazon is having a huge PC download sale today to celebrate Valentine's Day and what better way to do that than to offer plenty of awesome co-op titles for super cheap! Highlights of the deals include Borderlands: GOTY edition for $6.99, Dungeon Defenders for $2.99 and the Magicka Collection for $4.99.
Just a few days ago, in a Galaxy not very far away, the LEGO Star Wars franchise sold over 30 million copies. This number spans the entire series all the way through to LEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars. If 30 million sales was not enough excitement for LEGO developer Traveller's Tales, they are celebrating this landmark by signing an extension to their contract with LucasArts until 2022.
The tower defense genre is a crowded one, but variations on that theme can hit with great success, such as Co-Optimus favorite Dungeon Defenders, Orcs Must Die, and last year's FPS twist on the genre, Sanctum.
Twisted Metal is almost upon us. The demo has dropped, and no doubt interested parties have already had a taste of the carnage. I've played the demo, and I've gotten my rear end handed to me on numerous occasions. If you're curious as to whether or not Twisted Metal is the game for you, these two new videos may help. The first video covers many of the weapons. It does a pretty good job of explaining how each one can be used to your advantage. The second video re-hashes a bit of the first, and then it covers some tactics and vehicle profiles.
We have been pondering the features of Binary Domain's co-op mode since last May. The third person shooter focuses on a robot uprising in (where else?) near-future Tokyo. The single player campaign features a "Consequence System" where you will give voice commands to your squad mates. They'll either listen to you or they won't, depending on how much they trust you. Great. Sounds like it'll be just like playing a game with a bunch of house cats. This seems like the perfect opportunity to allow real life human players to join in the fun.
Not being able to understand Japanese doesn’t prevent us from looking at a trailer of One Piece: Pirate Warriors and smelling some potential co-op action in the works.
Happy Valentine's Day! What? You forgot? Dang. You're screwed. Nah, I'm just kidding. Valentine's Day isn't until tomorrow. Buy someone something nice. Or don't. It's your call. If you're really smooth you could buy your significant other (or mom) a sweet PlayStation Vita launch title, you know, drop a little hint for the February 15th release of the Vita's First Launch Bundle.
