If you live in the U.S., you've probably been looking forward to today for a few weeks as Monday is Labor Day, which means three-day weekend! In case you were wondering what shenanigans you might get into during the long break, the folks over at Humble Bundle have compiled a selection of Capcom games for the PlayStation 3 and 4, while Microsoft is featuring an "Activision Franchise Sale" for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
You can take your immersive graphics, tantalizing story lines and abundance of polygons and cram them all into a giant sack and sink them into the ocean. Give me a side scrolling beat-em up any day. The Xbox One does not have that many of these to its name, but that is being cured by the likes of Final Fight: Double Impact getting the backwards compatible treatment.
This week, several Capcom and Ubisoft Xbox Live Arcade games are on sale for 33-50 percent off. Naturally there are co-op deals to be had, including Final Fight: Double Impact, Interpol, and Outland – all on sale for 400 Microsoft Points each.
Final Fight: Double Impact is on sale this week on Xbox Live Arcade bringing it's normal 800 price down to 400 . Half the price for double the game! Not a bad deal for a title we gave a solid 3.5 out of 5 on.
Deals of the Week, One Day Sales, Special Offers, Gold Membership pricing, the list goes on. There is a ton of content for sale over at the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and much of it supports co-op. Lists get awfully boring, unless their designed to save you money. Check out these sale items.
It’s been a long-running battle of fans based on a lot of nonsense and personal preference, but how do you choose which system to buy a game on? Content available? Support? Online connectivity? Or are you one that consults all of your friends before coming to a decision on which system to use?
[Updated below] It seems like PSN users are almost required by Sony and Capcom to play co-op with their copies of Final Fight Double Impact. It turns out that Final Fight will not play on your PS3 if you are not connected to the network. Even if you're playing local multiplayer or single player, you're still required to have your PS3 connected to play.
