While competitive eSports gamers rely on pro-style controllers, the nicer hardware can benefit co-op and solo players too. HexGaming is one of the leading providers of custom controllers for today's console. Today, the company launched the Rival Pro Controller for PlayStation 5, an elite controller that offers remappable buttons, interchangeable thumbsticks, and more.
Two years ago I reviewed the ROCCAT Burst Pro and it moved into my daily use mouse, only to be replaced ROCCAT Kone XP a few months back. But the Burst Pro is back, this time in a wireless form factor and a new lighter design. So how does the ROCCAT Burst Pro Air stack up?
In my infinite quest to find the perfect PC gaming headset, I've gotten pretty close to perfection, but always came up short. ROCCAT's latest entry into the mix, the ROCCAT Syn Pro Air, seems a worthy contender on the surface. Our latest look dives below the back of the box to see if this is the headset to use in your da...
E3 2021 has come and gone, and the Summer Game Fest is still kind of going, but in the flurry of news and excitement over big name titles coming out in the next year or two, there are always a few that slip by. Here's a quick round-up of some co-op titles to keep an eye on as time marches inexorably onwards.
ROCCAT is back with an new gaming mouse in its Kone lineup, first introduced in 2007. The new Kone Pro though is taking design cues from the recent Burst Pro Extreme. What sets this apart from other mice out there? Let's fine out.
As is becoming increasingly common in this era of gaming, the Co-Opticrew's weekend plans are largely preoccupied with sequels. Many companies these days seem content with adopting the "if it ain't broke" mode of thinking, and you know what, it looks like it's paying off for them. Not that I'm complaining, though. Good games are good games regardless of how high the number is in their title.
The Co-Opticrew is reaching into our usual bag of tricks this weekend, with co-op shlooters and co-op sloopers taking up a fair amount of our time. What's this, though? It appears a few of our esteemed staff are also diving back into the realm of wooden tokens and translucent card sleeves for a couple days of board game goodness. We can only wish these adventurous souls (and their wallets) the best of luck. They'll certainly need it.
Once again, the inexorable march of time has ferried us to another weekend, and instead of dwelling on our own mortality, the Co-Opticrew has chosen to distract ourselves with - you guessed it - video games. All things considered, it's not a bad way to go about spending our time. Who knows what we'd be up to if not for co-op games? We could be obsessing over far-fetched conspiracy theories or, even worse, mumble rap. The mind shudders at the thought.
We have been blessed with another appearance by everyone's favorite duo: Saturday and Sunday. In accordance with Co-Opticrew tradition, we offer our plans to the ether in the hope that they shall be fulfilled. Will they, though? I suppose that's up to us. As the old saying goes, "The Weekend helps those who help themselves."
We're back with another jaw-dropping edition of (say it with me) Our! Weekend! In! Gaming! I know I abandoned our poor readers in their time of need, but believe me, it was (probably) worth the wait. Refreshed and re-energized, the Co-Opticrew is roaring into 2021 with a frankly staggering amount of games they'll be playing over the weekend. If this doesn't get you pumped up for your own plans, then frankly, you may want to consult a medical professional.
The Co-Opticrew is on the lookout for things to pillage this weekend. We don't care if it's enemy ships, antagonistic aliens, or our own dreamscapes. If there's loot to be had, we're on the case. What will we do with said loot? Probably just ogle it for a while until something better comes along, if we're being honest. C'est la vie.
It's getting mighty chilly around Co-Optimus HQ. If things get any worse, we may be forced to take a few days off and wait for the routes to clear between our bedrooms and... our other bedrooms. There's no telling what could happen if we tried to commute in these conditions, so it's probably better to play it safe.
