There's nothing I enjoy more than putting on my bathrobe and pretending I know how to do magic on a Friday night. What could be better than that? How about jumping on Twitch and watching the Friday Awesomely Live Co-Op gang blow each other up in Magicka 2? Well, it's a little late for that since we beat the whole campaign, but lucky for you, we recorded it all so you can watch it right now.
Sony is having a flash sale on PSN this weekend to celebrate Valentine's Day. What does that mean? There's a lot of co-op focused content available on the cheap for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. I personally couldn't pass up Borderlands 2 with all of the extra content for just $4. A total steal.
If there's one thing I could do just about all day, it's watch the videos/trailers that Paradox puts out for Magicka 2. Sure, there's something new they're trying to communicate here (a new element type and ice/steam elements now combine in the spell combo bar), but I mean, it's more fun to just watch!
There’s a wonderful, chaotic fun to Magicka 2 that carries you through the first few story levels, but begins to fizzle and die shortly thereafter. The creative freedom that made the craziness of the original title so great feels like it has been reigned in some, much to the sequel’s detriment. ...
Our normal Monday Night stream took a magical turn this week as the crew was finally reunited after what seemed like forever. With our wands held high we headed towards a game that would surely re-establish the bonds of brotherhood in Magicka 2. The sequel to the hit indie game that sold over 2 million copies on PC, Magicka 2 looks to make it a more approachable title than the first.
With summer about to begin and outdoor activities presumably taking over much of the gaming community's time, PC gaming retailers hope to lure you back inside with enticing sales and impressive discounts. Several noteworthy co-op games are on sale this week, including this week's release of Magicka 2, where a 20% discount lives at the digital retailer GMG cutting the price down to $12.00. If you spring for the Deluxe Edition, it's also 20% off at GMG after coupon, dropping from $25 to $20. (Though honestly it doesn't look like the Deluxe offers much so you should probably skip).
If the first Magicka taught us anything at all, it would be something along the lines of "if your friends had magical powers, they would totally flip out and make your body pop like a hamster in a microwave well over a thousand times." We need video games to teach us these lessons just in case some eldrich power does imbue our chums with arcane forces, so we'll know to avoid their calls for a while.
The Humble Paradox Interactive Bundle has launched, and it's got a good dose of Magicka waiting to be consumed. Maybe it's to capitalize on the buzz surrounding Magicka 2's release later this month. Or maybe it's just because cheap games are good. Either way, you can get your hands on some co-op wizard video entertainment software for whatever price you feel like paying. Score!
For fans of the series, the wait on Battlefield Hardline is now at an end. Released today on March 17th, the game will make its appearance on PC and console for the usual $59.99. It seemed like discounts weren't going to come for this title, but PC gamers are finally getting one this launch week from the UK-based retailer GMG.
If you love only the hottest references to contemporary pop culture, look no further than the newest trailer for Magicka 2. The fine folks at Pieces International have narrowly evaded copyright infringement by putting this latest trailer, detailing the various modes of Magicka 2, into an explicit homage of one of television's most currently popular shows. To complicate matters, you've got Magicka regular Vlad singing along with his constant assertion that he is not a vampire. Fans of the series will probably regard his claims as nothing more than a bold faced lie.
Steam is celebrating this "lovely" holiday the best way it knows how, by discounting games. But not just any set of games are discounted, the focus here are cooperative games - you know ones you can play with your partner...or partners. Perhaps it's going to be a REALLY adventurous Valentine's Day.
Brad, who is definitely not Vlad, who is definitely not a vampire, is having a rough time. He's paranoid, has paternal issues, he's schizophrenic, incontinent, and suffers from erectil-- ahem, that isn't relevant. His therapist thinks he just misses his friends. Brad thinks he misses his "up to four friends at the same time, casting spells, defeating enemies and journeying through an all-new story adventure". We're siding with Brad.
