Nothing says end of an era more than a massive sale aimed at getting customers to buy up games they won't need once they have moved onto the One or PS4. Call me cynical, but I don't mind when the games are this cheap. This week sees a sale per day and a weekly sale on XBL, with up to 93% off games such as Portal 2, D&D: Daggerdale, Fable III and many others.
The following Xbox update comes straight from Major Nelson himself. Among the upcoming content for the Xbox Live Marketplace are sales on select cooperative games. These titles include Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale, and The Simpson's Arcade Game. When the games go on sale, if you don't already own them, it might be a good time to grab some buddies and gobble them up. For a complete list of the planned Xbox Live content, take a look below:
Happy first lunch break of the week, CST people! I hope you brought enough to share with everyone. Let's get our Co-Op Release Alert on!
Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale was something of a letdown for many action-RPG fans. Apparently it was a sales letdown too. Joystiq reports that the game’s developer, Bedlam Games is shutting down and has already let 90% of its staff go. Typically, when a studio closes its doors, most of the staff gets laid off while a few stay to tie off legal loose ends.
The name Dungeons & Dragons has been synonymous with co-op for many years. Whether it’s the property’s roots as a pen and paper or the numerous video games set in its universe - D&D has had plenty of cooperative elements. Today we look at Daggerdale in hopes of the next great co-op experience.
This week is harsh for full-size console co-op releases, but we do have a downloadable title and some portable gaming goodness heading our way. The godfather of dungeon crawlers gets some love, and the DOA girls go 3D.
When things go awry, it seems like the customer service of most companies kicks in to overdrive and they give out some freebies. Well, in case you’re thinking you may miss out on whatever Sony is cooking up to begin to make up for the PSN outage - here’s a past and present of what we’ve seen.
Loot. Drops. Booty. Bounty. The Goods. Bling. Equipment. GEAR. Whatever you call it Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale looks to have plenty of it. Swords, armor, shields, axes, and helmets. Sadly - there's no pants of holding +10.
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...
We've got a fresh batch of screens for the four player co-op hack and slash RPG, Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale. The game is out this summer on the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC as a downloadable title - and its a game we previewed in detail back during PAX East.
The latest trailer for Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale highlights the story elements of the game. Apparently there's an evil tower inside a cave!? Crazy. Mr. Off-the-Shoulder-Tunic up there is Rezlus, "an agent of evil." You have to stop him. Create a character, level up, collect loot. You'll have four classes to choose from. Daggerdale is actually the first part of a three part series. This portion will encompass the first ten levels of character progression, with more to come in the sequels.
