The latest Deals With Gold have been revealed, and there are a number of co-op titles you can pick up at nice discount. Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, Demon's Crystals, Grand Theft Auto V, and Forza Horizon 3 are just a few of the games you can snag.
This week's Deals With Gold include a few co-op offerings we haven't seen before. Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, Farming Simulator 15, and a few more are available on the Xbox One, with a handful of co-op titles available on the Xbox 360 as well.
If you live in the U.S., you've probably been looking forward to today for a few weeks as Monday is Labor Day, which means three-day weekend! In case you were wondering what shenanigans you might get into during the long break, the folks over at Humble Bundle have compiled a selection of Capcom games for the PlayStation 3 and 4, while Microsoft is featuring an "Activision Franchise Sale" for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
Apparently, if you want to find out about whether or not a game is coming to the consoles, you should hit up the Taiwan Game Software Rating Information board. Similar to how HAWKEN got listed on a Taiwan Microsoft store page early, three older Activision games (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron) all got ratings for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Roll up, roll up. Another week, another Xbox 360 sale, but this one is actually worth taking note off as it has three co-op games for a low, low price. Transformers: War for Cybertron is down to $5, whilst Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is $15. The final game? Sacred Citadel for $2.49.
2010's War for Cybertron is among my favorite games of this console generation. A solid three-player co-op campaign would have been good on its own, but throw in a robust set of multiplayer options, including Escalation mode, a survival mode for up to four, and you had something truly special. Thus, my expectations were high for Fall of Cybertron. While it is a good game, the wholesale removal of multiplayer options in the campaign causes it to fall short from a co-op perspective.
Fans of giant alien robots should be pretty hyped. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is rolling out to store shelves today. The sequel to the excellent War for Cybertron will cover the last days of the Transformers' home world. Expect to see Optimus Prime, Megatron, Grimlock, Metroplex, and many others in action.
This week the plumbers are at it again, bear witness to the fall of the Transformers' home planet, and PC gamers who like it rough are in for a treat.
If you're like me, you've been ho-humming through the summer, waiting for the onslaught of upcoming fall games. There have been a few shiny distractions here and there, but nothing has really held my interest, until today. I fired up the new demo for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and lo and behold, I actually wanted to play it again, and again, and maybe even one more time after that. I don't know if I'm that starved for the next big thing, but this demo at least provided an appetizer.
When Transformers: War for Cybertron dropped, I was surprised how fun the 3 player co-op campaign was. Rather than build on this quality for the sequel, Fall of Cybertron, High Moon Studios have removed campaign co-op and created Escalation Mode instead. One way to salve any self inflicted wounds brought about by this depressing turn of events is to bring back some of the retro skins of the original cartoon series. This is exactly what you get if you preorder the game via Gamestop - Old Skool Optimus!
Hot off the digital presses, we have some new Transformers: Fall of Cybertron screens as well as a new action-packed video for your viewing pleasure. While the main focus is on the multiplayer mode, there is some co-operative Escalation footage in the video.
Transformers: Fall of Cyberton has got itself a shiny new release date: August 21. This is one of those rare occasions when a game's street date is actually moved up. Sure it's only a week, but I'll take any oasis in the desert that is the summer release schedule. The amount of triple A co-op games coming out between now and then is slim.
