Wow. I'm glad I joined PlayStation Plus earlier this year. The $50 annual membership fee paid for itself in less than a month. The Instant Game collection offered a dozen free PSN and PS3 games in June. Now there's even more good news: Renegade Ops, Gotham City Imposters, and Pac-Man Championship DX have been added* to the collection of free titles.
Amazon is offering deals for today only on a ton of great PlayStation 3 titles, many which include co-op play. Here's what you can snag for almost 50% off.
Amazon is matching Walmart's bundle and price this Black Friday on the PlayStation 3 with some really solid co-op games. You'll get a 160GB PS3, a controller and the co-op games Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One and Little Big Planet 2 for just $199.99. Best of all, instead of trying to brave Walmart on the busiest shopping day of the year, you can simply click your mouse and order.
It's almost the biggest shopping day in America, Black Friday, but Walmart has jumped on the bandwagon early with a killer co-op friendly bundle on the PlayStation 3. For only $199 you'll get a 160GB PlayStation 3 Slim, a copy of the co-op games Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One and LittleBigPlanet 2. Also included is 30 days of PlayStation Plus a controller and an HDMI cable.
It's the busy fall gaming season, which means dozens upon dozens of games competing for your gaming dollar. This is a good thing because it also means gaming deals! Amazon is first up to the plate to save you some hard earned cash on some recent co-op releases like Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, RAGE, and even Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Right now those titles as well as others like Skyrim are available for Buy One, Get One 50% off.
I've only casually played the past Ratchet and Clank games, so I'm a person coming into Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One with an almost clean slate. To be honest, even after it was announced to have a four player co-op mode, I never planned on picking up the game. Once the beta was released I was more than pleasantly surprised at what made up the nuts and bolts of this Ratchet and Clank title.
Happy Monday, folks! This week we have a very nice selection of PlayStation 3 co-op titles, along with some fine multiplatform offerings. Stay tuned to Co-Optimus for Co-Op Reviews on all of these upcoming cooperative titles.
While many gamers out there are doubtlessly sleeping this weekend with visions of a certain caped crusader soon to be swooping through the streets of Gotham again, we here at Co-Optimus are dreaming of a different kind of adventure. One in which four friends can team up to kick some major tail in the world of Ratchet and Clank. After watching the latest trailer for Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, featuring some "big moments in co-op," we feel pretty confident that we won't be the only ones.
Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, a weekly piece that talks about industry stories that may or may not be related to co-op gaming.
Forgive me a moment of self-indulging idiocy, but the first half of this Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One video evokes images from a certain partially slow-motion advertisement that ran about six years ago and is responsible - to this day - for periodically polluting my headspace with its catchy, bubbly music track. Now whenever I see cartoon characters jumping and flipping around in low gravity I can't help but murmur a few lines to myself.
After visiting the over 18 section of the Eurogamer Expo 2011, it was nice to get out and play something that did not require me removing limbs in a violent fashion. The best co-op games do not have to be violent, as Rayman Origins and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One proved.
Sad that you're missing out on the beta? Not that one. I'm talking about the beta for Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One. We've got a video that will give a glimpse of what you've been missing. A giant Z'Grute is attacking the city of Luminopolis, and it's up to Ratchet and pals to stop it. If this video floats your boat, but you still don't have a beta code, never fear! According to Playstation.blog, if you pre-order from Amazon between now and September 26th you'll get into the beta! You can also find the beta on RatchetandClank.com, while supplies last. Is it just me, or is "beta" the new "demo?" No matter. You can see our impressions of the beta here.
