Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Reshelled is one of the longest game titles in recent memory. What has changed in the remake, besides the graphics? What is missing? And oh yeah, how's the co-op? Find out in our review.
We only talked a brief bit about Shadow Complex on the site a few weeks back, and mostly it was due to its lack of cooperative play. But Shadow Complex is the perfect example of a game that in no way needs co-op play, it's a tight single player experience with high production values, great voice acting, and a cheesy fun story. Did I mention it was a $15 XBLA game?
Ms. Marvel has been unveiled as the next character to add your Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 co-op team. This leaves exactly one character yet to be revealed in the game. My guess is we'll find out this week who it is at the GamesCom in Germany. We have a handful of screenshots of Ms. Marvel in action.
Leave it to Capcom to release amazing gameplay footage and screenshots regularly, then further entertain us with a Spyborgs webseries. We're also very happy to see that Spyborgs will be hitting Wii's earlier than expected, with a release date of September 22nd! Get our co-op brawler on early? Why, we'd love to!
If you're looking for a variety of weapons, enemies, and awesomeness with a dash of co-op, Serious Sam HD is where you need to be. Seriously. The latest Serious Sam HD trailer has an epic soundtrack that almost seems ironic given the style of humor associated with Serious Sam, while still complementing the visuals and gameplay shown very nicely. We also get a glimpse at the various weapons and enemies of the game, and an idea of how smooth this FPS is going to glide when you finally get your hands on it!
Not that we were truly expecting it, but it does come as a disappointment that Blizzard has announced no campaign co-op in StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty. The game's lead designer, Justin Bowder told VG 247 the sad news last month at an exclusive hands on event with the game.
Like the previous patch before it, version 1.6 of Call of Duty: World at War is on the way. Along with the normal bug fixes and tweaks, the latest map pack will be included with the patch, hopefully at no cost. Time to grease up the mouse and keyboard for some four player co-op zombie slaying on the new Der Riese map!
PlayLogic has announced the released date and features of Fairytale Fights. We've kept a watchful eye on this brutal hack and slash since it was announced, and it appears we won't be waiting much longer. The game is set for an October 27th release date on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Unfortunately PC owners are going to have to wait a bit longer as a 2010 release date for that version of the game has been announced.
The latest Bonus Round episode on GameTrailers.com features a diversified panel that lays out some great perspectives on co-op as it currently exists and how they see it evolving in future games.
While ArmA II has a built in mission editor, it limits to exactly what you can do. Sure you can place players, enemies, objects and waypoints - but what you can't do is use your own models, characters or story. That's all changed though as Bohemia Interactive has released a full suite of mod tools for the PC co-op title.
Look, we love co-op gaming as much as the next guy. But I'm not quite sure we love co-op gaming as much as THIS guy. He goes by the name of the GamingGoose - and he's pissed off at developers, publishers and just about anyone that gets in his way. Why? Because he can't figure out what games have co-op and what games don't. He's pissed that games that say they have co-op don't really have a cooperative mode at all but rather a "2 player simultaneous mode."
Welcome to another edition of Beyond Co-Op, where we take a look at the most interest and important gaming news in the industry.
