Arcen games recently announced Tidalis, a match three style puzzler with a unique gameplay element for the PC that adds 2 player co-op play to the genre. We sat down with Arcen games designer, developer, and owner Chris Park and got the details on how the co-op would work.
It's a sub-genre that's been around since the dawn of the arcades. But co-op has only recently gone mainstream to the lengths of having entire games built around it and bullet points on the back of boxes. Now from Triangle Games Conference comes a panel on the future of first person shooters.
Whooops! Remember how last night Cliff Bleszinksi was going to have a big reveal on Light Night with Jimmy Fallon? And then remember how it got bumped until Monday? It seems someone forgot to tell the Dashboard team at Xbox HQ to turn off the Spotlight Channel element linked to the announcement's original date.
Looks like I'm your huckleberry. I called it last week when we thought Red Dead Redemption would have co-op, and today comes confirmation from Rockstar Games that the game's Free Roam multiplayer mode features several co-op aspects.
It was the end of last year when Arcen Games, makers of AI War: Fleet Command, told us they had two cooperative titles in the pipeline for 2010. The first was called A Valley Without Wind, which was a take on the tower defense genre. The game has since been bumped to 2011, but the second was an unnamed puzzle game with an addictive but simple mechanic. Today Arcen has named the puzzle game and announced a beta starting very soon.
Blizzard has announced the pricing of the regular edition and a brand new Collector's Edition of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. The regular version of the game will set you back $59.99 when it launches later this year while for the truly die hard fan weighing the collector's edition will set you back $99.99. What's in that shiny box?
3D would seem to be 2010's version of HD. Movies, TV, and even Nintendo's next great handheld have tossed their hat into the 3D ring. But why wait when you can have 3D now? Or at least, in May, when Attack of the Movies 3D will be released for the XBox 360 and the Wii.
While the original Crackdown supported System Link playing for co-op, Crackdown 2 won't be featuring the same option according to an MTV Multiplayer article.
Tonight was the night that Epic Game's designer Cliff Bleszinki would unveil Gears of War 3 on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. We presume it was Gears of War 3, but perhaps it's a new Jazz Jack Rabbit game.
A few weeks back we brought you our Monday Night Combat impressions from PAX East in Boston. Today Uber Entertainment has released a character montage trailer from the show.
