Instead of long-term gaming, what have I done instead? Spent my time playing smaller games with quick missions or games that are easily picked up and put back down. Though it’s difficult to tear myself away, I feel that this limited gaming has helped preserve my sanity during these dreaded finals...
I am not sure if I’m noticing my own habits of buying games that are similar all at once, or if the world is conspiring to release an onslaught of similar games one after another. This is where you decide. Do you see handfuls of games that appear to be coincidentally similar?
Aegis Wing may be old news for some, but in the age of tight budget co-op games it doesn't get much better than free. We take a look at the Xbox Live Arcade shooter and its four player co-op in our latest review.
Microsoft has launched the Friendship is Free program this month, allowing Xbox Live Silver members to play multiplayer with Goooooooold Member (pictured above) friends on certain games. Unfortunately this only applies to arcade game, not retail discs. The other missed opportunity is despite a huge list of co-op arcade games, there's only two (Keflings and Aegis Wing) available to play in this program. Playing WITH your friend is more likely to get them to join than against them, no?
