The Steam Summer Sale 2020 is in full effect. If you didn't know it's the annual time of year where your wallet screams for mercy because "oh, it's only $4" times 37. There are plenty of big name co-op games on sale, you've got your Borderlands 3, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and Monster Hunter: World among dozens of others. But we're going to dig a bit deeper than page 1 and show you some of our favorite games we've found on deep discount.
The Friday Awesomely Live Co-Op crew has never claimed to know anything. The other editors here at Co-Optimus are smart, witty, and have their act together. F.A.L.C.O., on the other hand, are just three average gamer dads who enjoy unwinding after a week of working for the man. So last week, when we jumped into Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown, we were surprised to find that all the missions we played were only two player!
So you've managed to get through Renegade Ops on the hardest difficulty, but you're hungry for more? We've got you covered. Tomorrow, on December 20th, two new DLC packs will be available for the PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE Arcade, and PC. These new pieces of content offer a new three-stage campaign as well as two new vehicles.
Writing for Co-Optimus has provided some unique co-op gaming opportunities for me. I now routinely play games that I would have waited for sales on or simply never picked up at all. A good example is Renegade Ops, an Xbox Live Arcade game that hadn’t been on my radar until it was chosen for our October Xbox Live Co-Op Night.
Our next Xbox Live Co-Op Night is upon us and this month we're doing something we've only done once before in our years of hosting official Xbox Live Co-Op Nights - play a downloadable arcade game.
October is here and it is on! It's game time!. We have a healthy stable of new releases this week. There's a zombie game redux, a high flying sequel, a variety of downloadable titles, and there's even something for the kids. Is it just me, or do Frank West's hands look weird? He's got some monkey fingers.
There are two types of co-op campaigns in this world: one that allows a single player to continue, and one that exacts the same fates to both. Which one is best suited for couples, and why?
Renegade Ops is already out on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, but the PC version remains to be seen. We really enjoyed the game so there's good reason to be jealous if you've been anxiously awaiting the Avalanche Studio developed title for your precious computer. Don't worry little sparrow, I've got good news.
Renegade Ops is a beautiful twin stick shooter from Avalanche Studios, the makers of Just Cause 2. Does it play as well as it looks? Find out in our Co-Op Review.
Renegade Ops launches today on Xbox Live Arcade and is already out on the PlayStation Network. The $15 downloadable game features four player co-op online and two player split-screen couch co-op with plenty of explosions for everyone.
Okay, it's a new week. Time to shake off September 6th's new release hangover. I trust you've all conquered each of those games as well as acquired 100% of the Achievements and Trophies. Time to move on. This week we have some fine downloadable titles, along with a Kinect title from Twisted Pixel, and a JRPG.
We go hands on with Renegade Ops from PAX and bring back some impressions of the gameplay. Afterwards we talk with the game's director, Axel Lindberg to talk about co-op design and gameplay as well as some of Renegade Ops' inspirations...like Cannon Fodder!
