The Hammerwatch series consists of a pair of low-key co-op action RPGs. One of them, Heroes of Hammerwatch, is one of my all-time favorite co-op games! Seriously, these are great games to play with friends. Soon, serious fans will get the chance to celebrate the series when Strictly Limited Games releases the Epics of Hammerwatch: Heroes Edition collection for PlayStation and Switch. Available in both Limited and Special Limited Editions, this collection promises countless hours of challenging co-op action.

Epic Games and Tripwire Interactive have announced that Killing Floor 2 is available for everyone for free until July 16th. The first person co-op horror game is a fast paced survival shooter pitting players against mutant enemies in a all out slaughter to survive. Originally released in 2016 on Steam, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 the game continues to add content along the way.

This past week, Saber Interactive released the first major update for their co-op zombie shooter, World War Z. Entitled "The Undead Sea," this update adds a new Tokyo mission (which takes place on a ferry), private lobbies, FOV scaling, mid-match PVP load-out changes, and the ability to disable bots.

Today, Phoenix Labs' vision of "One Dauntless" comes true as the action-RPG title is now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, AND it supports full cross-play/cross-progression with those consoles and the PC version. Playing on the PS4 but a couple friends are on the PC and another is on the Xbox One? No problem. Get out there and hunt those Behemoths with whomever you want on whatever platform you want.

This past December, Phoenix Labs revealed that they would be bringing their co-op action-RPG, Dauntless, to consoles sometime in 2019. They teased at the time their vision of "One Dauntless," where the game would support full cross-platform play and progression. It seems that they will achieve that vision thanks to Epic's recently revamped Games Store.

The end is in sight, everyone! One more month of summer, and then autumn will come sweeping in and bring with it that refreshing cool air. To get through August, Xbox is offering not one or two co-op titles, but four - yes, four! - titles to play with some buddies: Forza Horizon 2, For Honor, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, and Dead Space 3.

I have no idea how old you are, but I'm assuming you've at least heard of the long-lost technology known as "VHS tapes".  They were a relative staple of life back in the day, holding in their cassettes anything you could imagine - dinosaur-ridden theme parks, cartoon transforming robots, recordings of your aunt's wedding that your dad accidentally taped over with an episode of Frazier.  Anything.

What do the films It, Alien, Jurassic Park and Frankenstein all have in common? They’re all featured in the upcoming game Epic Loon from Macrales Studio, a small indie team devoted to diving back into classic movies and letting you take friends with you. In an interview from GamesCom, the team unpacked the direction for where their project is headed, as well as mentioning that, even though only four movies will make up the foundation for the game itself, there will be winks and nods to other popular movies.

The backwards compatibility mode on Xbox One is like having a cupboard of forgotten games that keeps being filled.  Pop in there today and you may just spy a game or two that you own; Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two or SEGA Vintage Collection: ToeJam & Earl. 

Epic Games' long awaiting game, Fortnite, will be holding its first online testing beginning tomorrow. For those of you who received invitations to be testing the current version of the game, this is your opportunity to help make it better for us all! Players will be able to play the Alpha version of Fortnite from December 2nd to Decembe...

Anyone who hopped on there PC this past weekend and fired up Steam was likely bombarded with the news that Disney Interactive games, including Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, have arrived. While there are a smattering of co-op offerings present, the really odd thing here is that, for some reason, the local co-op has been removed from Mickey's adventure.
