The day that retail games can be downloaded on consoles for cheaper than being bought in the shops is when the mass market will begin to truly shift towards a digital download only model. We are not there yet, but if Sony can keep producing sales like the one that has just hit the PlayStation Store, the future may be sooner than you think. Among the multitude of games on offer is the 4 player co-op Red Faction: Armageddon for $9.15 and non co-op titles such as Batman: Arkham City for $14.45 and Darksiders 2 for $14.95.
Everyone's favorite car racers with a sordid past will return to the PSN with today's update. The original Twisted Metal will be arriving on the PSN as a part of the PSOne classics, meaning you can grab it on the PS3 or the PSP (and consequently the Vita). Released on November 5, 1995, Twisted Metal was a unique and one of a kind experience. It took the chassis of a racing game, added the items that popularized the Mario Kart series, and minced it with a ruthless cast of characters themed for a mature audience. Rife with a motley assortment of deadly characters, each racer had a uniquely disturbing back story and vehicle. To this day, Sweet Tooth remains one of Sony's most iconic villains.
Hey all you Twisted Metal fans out there! It is my pleasure to inform you that the downright nasty character known as Axel will become available to all players with the free patch as of today!
The two player local co-op action game Twisted Metal, featuring brutal car on car action, is on sale today over at Amazon for only $39.99. While the co-op felt a bit lacking, overall the game was a solid experience. Now that it's at a more affordable price point it might be worth checking out - especially if you are a fan of the series.
It's been a hectic week for gaming. Truthfully, the last six weeks have been filled with mayhem. My second child, Player Four, began the big game of life back in January. Since then, finding time to play more frivolous games has become a daily struggle for us. "Struggle" being a relative term. It's not like we're freedom fighters. We're just trying to get our game on without getting baby poo on our controllers. Is that too much to ask? According to Player Three, it is.
A proper Twisted Metal game returns after an eleven year absence. The latest incarnation of Sweet Tooth and friends features a host of new deadly vehicles. Has the series returned to glory? Find out in our Co-Op Review.
I know that many of you were preoccupied with your true love yesterday (the Mass Effect 3 demo), so you may have missed the return of the Twisted Metal franchise. I was able to spurn Commander Shepard's advances long enough to get some quality time in with the car combat title. After looking over the game's many multiplayer modes I realized I didn't have a clue as to how to set up an online co-op campaign match. I knew the game supported online co-op, TM head honcho David Jaffe told me so (via Game Informer). I sure as hell wasn't going to consult the manual, so I sought help from the almighty Google.
