The zombie apocalyptic past has finally caught up to the present, with the launch of 2013: Infected Wars for the Playstation Vita. Once locked in the finger-friendly domain of iOS, this 4 player co-op shooter has finally transitioned over to the realm of the Vita for $4.99, supporting both the use of touch pads and dual analog joysticks.
Scroll through the comments page of just about any single player game on Steam and you'll find messages like the following: "game is ok would be better with co-op". Big, impressive titles with hundreds of hours of gameplay are released on a regular basis, but there's still a legion of players out there that refuse to have fun...
While Black Friday shopping is going on, we don’t want our co-op gamers out there to forget that some solid co-op games can be downloaded for free very soon. Any and all Gold Members can grab both Gears of War and Shoot Many Robots via the “Games With Gold” program on Xbox LIVE.
First of all, I'd like to thank all of our donors and team members for participating in this year's Extra Life charity marathon. The Co-Optimus community and staff continue to impress me with their desire to give to those who need it, and for that I am very thankful. Together, our team has raised $2,038 so far. We're still accepting donations until December 31, so there's still time to get your tax deductible donation in, and to help us reach our team goal of $2,500.
The Extra Life marathon started about an hour ago on the east coast, and those of us in the central timezone are about to start. There's still time to donate! We're still about $1,000 short of our goal, so please donate. All donations go straight to the Children's Miracle Network Hospital that the participant chooses.
Tomorrow morning, we're all starting our 25 hour Extra Life marathon. We're half way to our team goal of $2,500, and we need your help to go all the way. Please take a few minutes to read about our team members, and donate to Extra Life through one of their pages. Clicking on their names or picture will take you straight to their page.
Asking people to donate, whether it’s money or time, is not a simple task. I find that clear, concise messages work best, but sometimes it takes more than that to convince people that a cause is worthy of reaching deep in their pockets. The Extra Life marathon is definitely a worthy cause, but people tend to get hung up on a few details. When I ask people to donate or join, I often hear the same excuses or questions. Here’s a quick rundown of those, and why you shouldn’t worry.
Playing video games for 25 hours straight may seem like the laziest thing a person could do, but the truth is, it’s extremely difficult. The first few hours are no problem, but when you get into the teens, your body starts shutting down because it thinks it needs sleep. Too bad we can’t just tell our bodies that we’re gaming for a...
Slap on your overalls and your American Flag do-rag and get ready for Titanium, the new expansion out now for Farming Simulator 2013. You and whatever poor sap you tricked into being your farm hand can hop onto even more vehicles and harvest wheat like never before! Or exactly like before. I'm not a farmer. I don't know where food comes from. Up to 10 players can tackle a variety of farm chores in a game, in case you've somehow convinced nine of your closest friends that driving virtual tractors and planting fake asparagus seems like fun.
Co-Optimus staff and community members are teaming up, once again, to raise money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals by participating in Extra Life. Last year our team raised a total of $2,163.75, and our goal for this year is $2,500. Help us reach that goal by joining our team or donating.
After some initial complaints with the first, public demo of Dead Rising 3, Capcom wants to assure the community that the game will run smoothly by the time of launch and to quit “freaking out”.
2013: Infected Wars is a third person over the shoulder zombie shooter from Action Mobile Games. It's a game of survival and character progression, outfitting you with a thin supply of weapons and ammunition and challenging you to stay alive as long as you can. Better hope your touch screen can handle the greasy thumb streaks....
