Not a lot of co-op offerings on the PS front this month, unfortunately. However, the one game you can play with a friend is quite a doozy, if you still have your Playstation 3 available. Tokyo Jungle lets you and a local buddy team up in the Survival Mode to forage, hunt, and, yes, even breed in order to survive.
Contrary to the beliefs of some multi-billion dollar corporations, some people still play games offline. They may not have an internet connection, but they still have taste. Heck, they may even have an internet connection, but maybe they simply don't want to pipe their personal information into the enigmatic labyrinth of tubes and "security" measures that makes up online stores.
Looks like Sony is getting ready to bundle together PSN games and release them as a series of small collections! Secretive journalist types recently took a peek at ESRB listings and noticed a Best of PlayStation Network Volume 1 in the mix. Sneaky, right?
2012 what a year! I'm just happy that the world didn't end; the plethora of great games available via the Playstation Network was simply a bonus. The likes of Journey, Tokyo Jungle and Borderlands 2 were downloadable straight onto your hard drive. Which was the best? You can vote on Sony's site today and help decide which games get reduced for a week. Get involved and make them co-op!
Is your Tokyo Jungle roster missing something? If you've been playing the quirky little brawler/survival game you've probably noticed the five locked animals toward the bottom of the character select screen. (Okay, there are many, many locked animals when your first start the game, but five of the animals are trapped behind red colored locks.) The Giraffe, Crocodile, Panda, Kangaroo, and Sabertooth have been taunting me for two weeks. Today, four of these five creatures are available for purchase from the PlayStation Store.
Mankind's reign on earth is over. Wild animals now rule the streets of Tokyo. Play as one of 50 animals in a quest to not only survive, but to flourish in a savage new wilderness. You can even bring a friend. Discover Tokyo Jungle in our Co-Op Review.
Tokyo Jungle arrived on the PlayStation Network yesterday. I picked it up out of curiosity, having heard that I would get a chance to fight a lion with a toy dog, or some such nonsense. As I was cruising the menus I was surprised to see a local co-op mode. The game has been out for a spell in Japan, so it’s no big secret. We missed it though, sorry.
