When it comes to co-op gaming, audio quality can make or break the experience. Communicating effectively with your team, being immersed in the game's world, and hearing every subtle cue can drastically improve gameplay. I've been using Turtle Beach's headsets now for the past few years, with both the iterations of the Stealth 700 Gen 2 tested on this site. But is the Gen 3 enough of a difference? Let's dive in.
Last year I reviewed the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 and called it "quality comfort." In fact I've reviewed a handful of other headsets since then and still go back to the Stealth 700s as my favorites. Turtle Beach is back with a minor update this year that includes several claimed improvements with battery life leading the charge. This is also the first fully cross gen version of this headset that covers just about any platform out there - which is an improvement all to itself.
By my count, we are approaching close to 100 headsets evaluated on this site in our 13 years of existence. Needless to say we've seen all makes, models, and varieties - from wired stereo headsets to fully wireless surround sound monsters. I'm at the point now where I know exactly what features I want to hear in a pair of cans for my ears. And let me tell you - the perfect headset still doesn't seem to exist.
Ninjas. Exactly what's not to love about these dark, cunning warriors of the night? They scurry along rooftops making nary a sound, slice and dice with surgical precision, and poof into thin air leaving ninja-smoke in their wake. You can partake in these wholesome activities and many more in Aragami, an action stealth title from developer Lince Works.
Oh, look at that. A bunch of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games are in a bundle! The Humble Nindie Bundle sticks eight games together for a pay-what-you-want price tag and delivers downloads for both of Nintendo's current-gen systems. Only two of the games have co-op, but cheap Wii U games are cheap Wii U games, yeah?
Charging in all "guns blazing'" is fun and all, but sometimes you need the satisfaction of stealing some corporation's secret documents (or what have you) and escaping with the dopey guards being none the wiser. Previously, Stealth Inc 2's own brand of sneaky satisfaction was exclusive only to Wii U owners. Developers Curve Digital have decided to spread the love, though, and the game has been announced for release on a whole slew of platforms.
Many game developers have struggled to figure out a way to use the GamePad in a way that seems natural to the gameplay itself. Luckily, exclusive Wii U title Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones isn't one of them! This puzzle title from indie developer Curve Studios, is one co-op title that does the GamePad justice and we'd highly recommend you ...
