Splinter Cell Conviction is out this week, and with it comes loads of co-op play. Seriously, Ubisoft jam packed this game with a co-op campaign and a handful of replayable challenge style co-op missions. So while everyone is complaining the game is only 5 hours long, they seem to be neglecting the meat of the package.
We're happy to announce a brand new contest in partnership with Split Reason Clothing. The idea is simple - we want you to design your own t-shirt based around the theme of co-op gaming. You'll have a chance to win some great prizes, and maybe even have your t-shirt published!
We recently spoke with the Dungeon Fighter Online's associate producer, Luis Reyes, about what inspired them to release a 2D beat 'em up in a market space filled with World of Warcraft clones, what games inspired them, and get some exclusive details about a new feature that enhances the co-op.
Tonight we lay to rest the worlds first broad band gaming service for consoles. Microsoft is flipping the switch on Xbox Live for the original Xbox, thereby killing access to dozens of games with online modes that nobody plays anymore.
Do you love Left 4 Dead 2's Scavenge mode, but wish you could play it cooperatively instead of competitively? Or do you really enjoy playing the last map of the Dead Center campaign with your buddies, but pine for a moving objective? Or are you nuts for Team Fortress 2's Payload mode, but feel it could use more zombies? If you answered "yes!" to any of these questions, then Left 4 Dead 2 player-created mod "Badwater Basin" might just be for you.
We just got a tip that Amazon is running a sale on the Xbox 360 Arcade units for a staggering cheap price of $159. We're not sure how long this sale will last, but if you ever wanted to snag a spare console, or a second console for in house co-op gaming, this is the perfect opportunity.
I mean, Madballs in...Babo: Invasion is free to play on Steam this upcoming weekend (April 16-18). Okay, so you could always play the demo version of the game - but does the demo include all of the levels, new maps, skins, unlockables, and our very favorite Co-op? No, it doesn't. So, join up with us this weekend and play some Madballs on Steam. You have 36 hours to play as much Madballs as you like (in co-op because we said so,) starting this Friday.
It's been some time since we've heard about the movement of Def Jam Rapstar, and it appears it'll be sometime before we can all show our lyrical skills rapping smooth syllables into the silver chromed grille of a microphone. While the game has been in development for some time, it has been without a publisher. Konami has announced that it will co-publish the game in North America along with new comer Atomic Games. You'll also find the game on the Wii now, alongside the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions.
When we brought you the new Gears of War 3 trailer first thing this morning, we didn't have any solid co-op details yet. Tipster Rafoca linked us to a rumor that teased four-player co-op in the campaign, and now we have confirmation:
It's been a long standing rumor that we'd see some form of co-op play in Dead Rising 2. When the official multiplayer modes were announced last year and co-op was absent, we were forced to speculate, after all the game was a year away.
Gears of War has a long standing tradition of mixing visuals, music, and emotion in their trailers for the game. It started with the Mad World Trailer for Gears 1, followed by The Last Day for Gears 2, and now with the third game we have a trailer called Ashes to Ashes.
As we near the June 8 release of Green Day Rock Band, the complete song list has been revealed. As expected, the heaviest emphasis is on the band's most popular albums: Dookie, American Idiot, and 21st Century Breakdown. (A personal favorite, Brain Stew is one of the included tracks, as well.) One surprising revelation is that there will be only three venues, which is much less than other music game titles. Exporting the disc's 47 songs into other Rock Band games will cost $10, but it's free if you buy the enhanced version, known as Green Day Rock Band Plus. This version will also include the previously released Green Day DLC.
