Lats spring, to coincide with the most recent (and awesome) Trek film, Star Trek D-A-C hit Xbox Live Arcade. A team-based shoot em up, with a decidedly old school arcade feel, we didn't think too highly of the game, particularly the co-op. Now the game is headed to release on the PC and the Playstation Network, in November, just in time for the DVD release of the film.
For those of you that pre-ordered Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, you now have access to an exclusive beta of the game which features a few multiplayer modes. Among those modes is the new co-op mode called Gold Rush. The goal of this mode is to steal a treasure and bring it to a capture point, all the while avoiding waves of enemies. Each successive capture increases the difficulty and number of enemies. Like other survival and Horde type mode, we found this to be quite entertaining.
It's time the PC got some balls, Madballs that is. Launching today on Steam, Madballs in...Babo Invasion brings four player co-op action to a whole new set of gamers. The PC version of the game is almost identical to the Xbox Live version, though there's a few tweaks under the hood and more graphic options.
After an exciting performance of "I want to Hold your Hand" out of Billy and the Co-Opticrew at PAX 2009, it was time for the band to break up and head their respective ways. Sadly when I arrived home from the show there was no Beatles to be found in my house. This simply did not sit well with my wife, and after several not so subtle hints - including her telling our 6 month old to ask me for game - it was time to trade in some games and pick up the Fab 4's videogame debut.
It's time to tackle the Amazon jungle with Raven Squad, the hybrid FPS/RTS title from Evolved games. We head deep with the 2 player co-op mode and come out covered in...something.
Microsoft launched their latest social media player yesterday with the ZuneHD. In 16GB and 32GB varieties, the system packs an OLED multi-touch screen, accelerometer, HD Radio as well as sleek design. Soon the system will be sync'd up to your Xbox 360 for a host of other features.
EA has announced a brand new version of their SKATE franchise, to no one's surprise it's called SKATE 3. The unique feature of the game will be a complete social aspect where players can create crews of skaters that compete in challenges and missions. This co-op mode is a first for any skate based game, though there's no word as to how many players you can have in your crew
We've gotten our hands on a shiny new video of Borderlands in action during the game's 2 player split screen co-op mode. While we're still waiting on confirmation of the PC version containing the same co-op mode, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners will be able to enjoy the company of friend next to them on the couch as they blow away bandits with 1 of three million weapons.
Yesterday we reported that today's XBLA release of Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge would be a 2 player co-op experience. Sadly, today we can confirm the game does not contain a co-op mode.
Tonight at an event in Los Angeles, Infinity Ward and Microsoft announced a brand new limited edition Xbox 360 console. The Modern Warfare 2 branded console is the same as an Xbox 360 Elite, but has a brand new 250GB hard drive. It also comes with a copy of the game and two wireless controllers - perfect for playing co-op!
The next video documentary for Halo 3: ODST has been released, and this one is chock full of information. It takes you through the original concept, remember that "not a $60 game" almost a year ago to where it is now. We get info on the new weapons, the tweaks applied to the audio of said weapons, and the ODST visor.
