Indie Games Play Session with Sol Survivor Developers

A new month starts today, and it brings with it new opportunities for  some co-op gaming.  A few of the developers from Cadenza Interactive, the guys that put together the co-op tower defense title Sol Survivor, along with a few folks from fellow gaming sites are holding an XBox LIVE Indie Game session today at 12:00 pm PST right now and their title of choice is... yep, you guessed it, Sol Survivor.  Gamertags for all of the devs and game site fellows can be found at this link.  As we highlighted in our recent review of the game, the title does have a few glitches, but the co-op modes, overall, are quite enjoyable.  So if you've bought the game and are looking for some relaxing, post-Halloween co-op in which to partake this afternoon, hop on now and to join in on the play sessions.

Trine Disappoints PSN Users

We waited, and waited, and waited for Trine to finally make the leap from the PC to the Playstation Network. A bit late with a quiet release, we finally saw the 3 player co-op title sneak it's way on the Playstation Network. While many of us were happy to see the PSN version of Trine finally come about, we have some disappointing news.

Alien Breed Evolution Comes In Episodic Installments

Upcoming top-down Alien co-op title Alien Breed Evolution has been confirmed to be released episodically in three installments, instead of being the first of a separate trilogy as previously believed. It's said that each of these three episodes will take players 5-8 hours to complete, and will be available for download "December-ish." If you're unsure about paying for 3 separate installments of the game, don't fret - the prologue will be available for download and preview for free.

Co-Op Casual Friday: The Forbidden Fruit

If you have children, and are a gamer, you have probably run into some awkward situations.  There are some games that are perfectly acceptable for adults, and yet wildly inappropriate for children.  Some parents may disagree, and buy Grand Theft Auto for their first grader, but for most of us, there's a line between what's a "me" game, and what's a "kid" game.  This line varies from gamer family to gamer family, of course, and by child, as well.  For my youngest, who is eight, we have a higher tolerance of sci-fi violence (such as that in Halo's campaigns) than we do human on human violence (Call of Duty comes to mind).  Excessive realistic gore is a no-no (Left 4 Dead), but heavily stylized cartoon blood (Castle Crashers) is acceptable.  For our older son, fifteen, all the above games are probably OK, but I'd draw the line at games with strong sexual content or excessive language.  The point is, there are going to be some games on the shelf that your kids are not allowed to play.
