While there's still time to grab both Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for free this month thanks to Microsoft's "Games with Gold" program, you can start looking forward to next month when Assassin's Creed 3 "goes gold."
I can't move in my house due to my Xbox One's external drive being rammed with co-op games. I'm not convinced that's how computer memory works, but I do know that Games with Gold May is offering another two co-op titles in the form of Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
Summer is a great time to stay in doors and play video games, especially if you live in an area where it's in the 80s and it's humid all day every day. If you own an Xbox One, your chance to pick up a lot of co-op games for cheap starts tomorrow with Microsoft's "Ultimate Game Sale," with a fair number of titles being discounted up to 50% off.
When Valentine's Day rolls around, there's only one thing on everyone's mind: saving money. Yeah that's right, I said it. Sony did too, so it's all right. From now through Monday at 9 a.m. PST, a ton of co-op and multiplayer games will be on sale for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita. Which games you ask? Many games, I reply. Many.
Some serious sales going on this weekend at that little service called Steam. So many games, such large discount numbers, it's kind of overwhelming. The massive Square-Enix publishing catalogue is available for as much as 85% off, but there are a couple of outliers with co-op that warrant some attention, too.
It's time once again to pick your favorite co-op game of the year. We divide our awards into two categories, AAA and Indie. We nominate games that we feel showcase great cooperative features - whether that's a solid story involving all players, innovative mechanics, or just plain fun with friends.
In 2013 we witnessed the re-imagining of Lara Croft who brought with her a darker side to the Tomb Raider series. Even though this Lara was a deeper, more developed character, there is always going to be room for the classic Croft we grew up with....
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is out today. The game is the sequel to the truly excellent downloadable Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. The new game has upped the ante with four player co-op, compared to two from the previous. Each character comes equipped with their own abilities to help solve the environmental puzzles and deal with the baddies.
And with this release, we believe, that most games are done for the year. You'll have all you'll be getting for 2014 in your gaming library. Is it a big huge AAA title or a little indie gem? Perhaps somewhere in between?
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is on its way. The team behind the game has been releasing some short dev diary videos to cover the creation of a co-op powerhouse like this. The last one focused on scaling multiplayer up to support four players, and this one's all about the puzzles, baby!
The surprise sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is on its way in less than two months, so it's time to start loading coal into the hype train's furnace! Crystal Dynamics recently released a video narrated by members of the development team that lays out the basics of action archaeology with friends.
Just a few days after the pre-orders and spiffy Gold Edition details were announced, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have released a launch trailer for Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, the sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Watch closely for some hot four player co-op action.
