Cute as a button ilomilo is getting a batch of DLC on March 9th. The new DLC is titled "Autumn Tale," and it will contain 19 new levels, six bonus levels, and three new Achievements. We were charmed by the blocky puzzle game, giving it a 4 out of 5 in our co-op review. Read on to see the new trailer for "Autumn Tale."
A pic so nice we used it twice.
How are you feeling, PlayStation 3 owners? Are you doing well? I know Call of Duty: Black Ops hasn't so much as called, written, or even texted since their last title update, all the way back in January. February can be a long, cold month when you're all alone. It's okay. CoDBlOps still loves you. It's just that Microsoft gave her more money, so she wanted to go hang out with him for awhile. She'll be back. It's not like she offered up exclusive access to new content... oh wait, she did. Sorry.
I’ve been waiting a long time for this. A long time. Once a poor little rugrat occasionally denigrated to a cutesie photo op by her parents for entertainment’s sake, my daughter is several months from three years old and has accepted the fact that she is a gamer daddy’s little girl. As such, she is often subjected to the allure of colorful gamepads and the curious moving images they control on the TV whenever Dora and Boots aren’t busy looking for the Muddy Mountain. Alright, so maybe it's only been two years; but the anticipation has been no less. Finally, the time has come: let the experimentation with video games commence!
We get a lot of press material regarding computer and console accessories and hardware. Some of it is co-op related, some if it is just generally cool. We're all gamers and geeks so its hard not to oggle at some of these sexy devices. Here's the latest list of hardware that excites us around the Co-Optimus HQ.
We're running a little late this time on our next batch of reviews, but fret not, we've got a ton of good ones for you to read about. Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Dungeons, and Dead Space 2 are just the tip of the iceberg. When did the late winter months become such a busy gaming season?
Ms. 'Splosion Man, the sequel to Twisted Pixel's original exploding puzzle platformer, is coming later this year. The arcade purist in me loves the throwback title, and if the new trailer is any indication, the Ms. might top her predecessor, just like a certain red-bowed yellow gal did back in the day. We have a small gallery of screens for you, but you've gotta check out the trailer to see actual gameplay. It's worth a look if for nothing else than hearing Ms. Splosion Man's quips. How many pop culture references can you pick out?
It's the week before PAX-East, so Mike & Nick chat about all sorts of things! Want some information about Brink? We've got that! Wanna hear more about Hunted: The Demon's Forge? We've got that too! Add in lots of talk about Bulletstorm, Hard Corps: Uprising and Killzone 3 as well as this week's co-op news, and you've got yourself another winning episode of The Co-Opticast.
Last night at GDC, EA took the curtains off of Battlefield 3 - showing for the first time a significant portion of the game's single player gameplay. Everyone's immediate reaction after watching the almost 3 minutes of footage seems to be - "is this EA's answer to Call of Duty?" That may have officially been Medal of Honor, but Battlefield 3 sure looks the part too.
The first title for Kinect by Twisted Pixel (the geniuses responsible for 'Splosion Man), The Gunstringer is showing off some of its charm in a very entertaining demo trailer and with screenshots of a mighty wacky wavy inflatable arm flailing tube man. I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing from the unconventional trailer that the brilliant minds of Twisted Pixel have put together to bring The Gunstringer to life, as well as the limited number of screenshots we've seen so far.
We brought you news of Sony's new Dual View 3D technology a few days ago. It was recently on display, showing off footage of Killzone 3. What is interesting about the Dual View 3D tech is the potential to have two different images on screen for two different viewers. A recent video from Microsoft Research Applied Sciences Division show the same effect using different technology. This time no glasses are needed. Using an experimental item called a "wedge" lens, the video shows how holographic images can be viewed without the need of glasses. They actually use a Kinect camera to track different users, so the image is "aimed" at the appropriate viewer no matter where they move. The video is pretty dry, but very informative. Around the five minute mark things get very interesting. The tech looks like it is still in its early stages. Check it out and let us know what you think.
Nooo! Not my exploits! How else will I handle "Five" if I can't dive jump onto that rail by the steps, enabling me to stand in the center of the map, safe from zombie harm? Oh wait. I never did that. Because I'm not a filthy, dirty, no good cheater. Okay, okay, you got me. I never did that because I could never really get the move right. For those of you who could, kudos to you! I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted, because it is probably gone now. Call of Duty: Black Ops Title Update 7 should have gone into effect yesterday. Read on to see what else has been modified, tweaked, changed, or obliterated. I should note, this is for the Xbox 360 only. The PS3 version should be betting its own regular update soon.
