We had heard rumors, but E3 2012 confirmed to us that Dead Space 3 would feature co-op play. Fans of the series balked. Co-Op fans cheered. Could both of these groups be satiated with the game that Visceral has developed?
Six years after the Nintendo Wii launched, shaking up the video game industry forever, the console's successor is here with the Nintendo Wii U. The Wii U doesn't look to offer the same revolutionary features of the original, or at the least, it doesn't appear that it's going to have the same effect on the industry.
It's another year and another Call of Duty game is upon us. Like the yearly Madden game, Call of Duty has become a ritual for some with an incredible focus on the game's competitive gameplay and over the top Michael Bay-esque campaigns. But along with that co-op has always been present, sometimes a mixed bag and sometimes something truly special. This year's game is Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and it may be the most ambitious title yet.
When Resident Evil 5 was released a few years back, many fans of the series scoffed at the new direction the game was taking. An action based cooperative shooter with horror elements, leaving behind the slower paced horror and perhaps the best game of the series in RE4. Resident Evil 6 expands on the legacy that five created, with a stronger focus on co-op gameplay but bringing in characters from numerous Resident Evil games to appease fans.
Some of the most fun I've ever had gaming was during Tuesday night matches of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. We used to play 12 player co-op against the AI, clearing map after map of random waves of enemies. It's been five years since we've had a proper Ghost Recon game, but the day has finally come and it looks as if Ubisoft has stepped up all the pieces of the tactical puzzle for Ghost Recon Future Soldier.
There are those that said this day would never come. But come it has, the day your mouse cries out in terror as you click it thousands of times per minute. It's been 12 years since Diablo 2 was released, but Diablo 3 is finally here - and he's ready, willing and waiting.
The Resident Evil franchise branches out into the military shooter genre today. Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City is a squad-based third-person shooter which focuses on the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3. Players will not be taking on the rolls of heroic S.T.A.R.S agents in this adventure. Instead you'll be acting on behalf of Umbrella, the misunderstood global conglomerate whose products just so happen to cause zombie apocalypses and some mild to severe monsterism.
Today's the day. Today's the day Commander Sheppard and crew take back Earth. Today's the day they need your help. As a fan of a the Mass Effect franchise, possibly my favorite franchise of this generation, the suspense of picking up a copy of the sequel is killing me. I want the story. I want the music. I want the co-op. I want Mass Effect 3.
