The sweltering summer months make us want to stay indoors and get our game on. Thankfully there's a few titles out there that help break that heat. This month we look at five single player titles including Singularity, Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands, DarkStar one, Persona 3 Portable and more.
Do you like the XP? The experience? What some might call the cool points? If so, have I got a Gears of War 2 deal for you. For this weekend only, Epic Games is giving players FREE extra experience points. No strings attached, no extra hoops to jump through. But, just how much are they giving away?
Microsoft is on a roll lately with releasing new consoles, now on its 3rd version of the Xbox 360 S with the Halo Reach bundle. This time the console comes in silver and is all marked up dead sexy with Halo inscriptions. Included in the box are two matching controllers and a copy of Halo Reach - perfect for your local co-op sessions. You'll also be getting a 250GB hard drive, the built in 802.11N Wi-Fi and the whisper quiet design found on the other Xbox 360 S.
At PAX East the glory, visuals, and smooth controls of Shank wow'd us back to the Klei entertainment both to play again, and again, and again - and it was just single player at the time. Now Shank has brought a buddy to play the incredibly impressive platforming adventure game. Shanking, shooting, jumping, and co-op attacking, the co-op campaign looks absolutely phenomenal in the trailer we've got for you.
Today, Indie-ana Co-Op goes on an adventure in the wide world of iPhone/iPad gaming. The common theme for this installment? Zombies. Two different takes on the theme are investigated: Tweet Defense and Alive 4-Ever Returns.
Co-op is exclusive to the Wii and PlayStation 3 version of Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest, as motion control is required for your adventure. We have the latest batch of screenshots showcasing the game, one we haven't heard much about since it was announced last year.
Ok, so "gallery" might be a stretch of the imagination. It's just three screenshots from the upcoming game Fable 3 straight from the San Diego Comic-Con which kicks off today. There is one nice surprise to be had in them though, namely, a giant ship like thing that appears to be on rails underground. Could this be your personal transport vessel? The infuriating SHMUP like end boss battle? Or is our hero simply out for a joy ride through Albion?
As a huge comic book nerd, and stalwart fan of the old school beat em up, I've had my eye on the Wii TV-show tie-in Batman: The Brave and the Bold ever since it was announced. A new trailer has been released, and now my demand for this game is approaching infinite crisis levels. First awesome fact: one of Batman's co-op partners is Guy Gardner, a Green Lantern with a loud mouth and a sweet bowl haircut. My son was just asking me why there aren't any Green Lantern video games, and now this comes along! Amazing.
DeathSpank. Hero to the Downtrodden. Vanquisher of Evil. Includer of Co-op. Is the hack and slash title by Ron Gilbert complete with peril, orphans, loot, thongs, quirky characters, and lots of poop. Is the co-op part of the fertile yet evil demon poop, or does it shine like magical unicorn manure?
The folks at Uber Entertainment have just revealed a character profile of the Sniper class in Monday Night Combat. He's a bit...uh... off, to say the least. That being said you can tell he's a critical part to being successful in the game thanks to his special abilities like traps - which can help guard against those waves of robot enemies.
We've had a few months away from our normal monthly Halo Waypoint Nights, but they are back! We're only two months away from Halo Reach and that means we have plenty of co-op goodness to get done in Halo 3 and ODST before the big launch. So what's on tap first? Firefight!
Starting July 29th, you can influence the fate of a Gears of War 3 character and donate to the Child's Play Charity in one fell swoop. Microsoft and Epic Games will be offering two Avatar shirts (age gate required to view link) on the Xbox Live Marketplace: one declares "Carmine Must Die" and the other pleads "Save Carmine".
