Diablo 3 is coming, and we're all dressed for the prom. We've got the brutish Barbarians with their beautiful Wizard cohorts. Now, we just need our support characters. In a recent interview with Blizzard Lead Designer Jay Wilson, the Monk class is delved in to a bit - and could fill that co-op strategy "support" role nicely. Diii.net asks the big questions, and we love the big answers.
Dawn of War 2: The Last Stand is out right now, simply fire up Steam and you'll be updated to the latest version of the game and all the co-op goodness it contains. Need the lowdown on just what you are getting? Then check out this post on the official community blog.
The controversial sequel to a surprise hit PC game, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising expands on the premise of the original and brings hardcore, long-range combat to consoles. We traverse hundreds of kilometers and brave elite Chinese sharpshooters to bring you our review on the most realistic first-person shooter available on consoles to date.
Amazon.com is offering a Buy 2 Get 1 Free promotion, or as they call it, 3 For 2, on a good chunk of video games. This isn't just older titles, but a lot of newer titles as well.
Borderlands for the PC is a little further away than the 360 and PS3 versions of next week (OMG NEXT WEEK!), but that gives you plenty of time to organize a group of four people for this co-op deal Steam is offering.
Curse those Lizardmen! With their scales, and the slime, and their...green-ness. In Hudson's upcoming WiiWare title, Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem you'll be able to put a stop to their lizardly tactics once and for all!
Din, champion of the Gods, is not pleased with you one bit. You were not very nice in your life, and have now been cursed to live out a second life chock full of redemption. You're charged with being a savior of mankind, and will roam the plains of Western Aleria until Din is satisfied with you. It's not all dark and dreary though, as Din's Curse will give you a dynamically changing world to Action/RPG in with unique quests, different townspeople, and new locations every time you start a new game.
Music games are great fun, so it's only natural that folks want to play them on the go. Previous efforts haven't exactly been strong in the co-op aspect, either implementing it poorly (Guitar Hero: On Tour) or eliminating it entirely (Rock Band Unplugged). That trend looks to change with Rock Band for iPhone and iPod Touch.
Survival or Waves modes seem to be all the rage these days with co-op games. And while we all love a good cooperative experience bolstered by solid exposition, it's hard not to love the arcade like nature of survival challenges.
Three weeks ago, IGN graciously hosted the demo for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the upcoming PSP game that will feature 4-player co-op. It's completely in Japanese, but thanks to a couple of handy guides, it's playable for those of us who can't read Japanese. We posted the link as well, hoping to get some time in with the demo...
Not too long ago, we brought word that Hans Zimmer is scoring Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. While that's pretty awesome for fans of cinematic soundtracks, here's some more interesting news:
EA has just released a fresh batch of screenshots for the upcoming Command and Conquer sequel title Tiberian Twilight. Command and Conquer 4 will be a co-op experience for two players, and from what we've heard, it sounds like a lot of time and care went into designing it for cooperative play. Careful unit balancing and class specialization along with RPG elements all hint at a much deeper RTS experience.
