Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, today announced the imminent release of a fully playable demo for Haze, the new first-person shooter set in a harsh future where war is never quite what it seems. Coming exclusively to the PLAYSTATION®Network in early May, this playable demo will give gamers a taste of not only the single-player campaign in Haze, but will also allow up to four-player, drop-in drop-out co-op play online.
One of the things we talked about was the network play, and we've had people doing prototypes internally of multiplayer shoot-'em-ups both in versus and co-op.
May will be a busy month for Steven Spielberg. The acclaimed director's collaboration with EA, Boom Blox, will be released on May 6th. Boom Blox is a unique game, hard to classify, but will include some puzzle and building elements as well as (of course!) co-op play. The game looks to be a nice fit for the Wii, and we look forward...
We've just posted our review of Ikaruga for Xbox Live Arcade. This is a deep SHMUP that enforces co-op play to maximize score and stay alive. It's classic title that was difficult to find on both the Dreamcast and Gamecube, and now it's available for a $10 download on XBLA. ...
On one hand you have Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for the PC, a solid and deep tactical shooter with both a 2 player co-op story mode and a 4 player co-op terrorist hunt mode. On the other hand you have Emergency Mayhem for the Wii, a remake of a PS2/Xbox title which is sort of an over the top party driving game in which you control emergency vehicles to stop disasters. Emergency Mayhem features a 2 player co-op story mode.
Capcom and Grin have poured so much love into this one, and I sure hope it shows: from gameplay to graphic style to music, this is a love letter to the entire sidescrolling genre and its fans, and the original Bionic Commando and its fans in particular.
Looks like the cast list won't just be limited to homo sapians, with the inclusion of a member of the Ursidae family. The weapons are also getting a bump, with the barbarians and Knights of Nii getting represented. And of course there are animal orbs, which really deserve to be told in Behemoth's own words. Well, it looks like Castle Crashers indeed will be a quirky and fun affair, which we've come to expect. Besides, what part of playing as a polar bear with a fish as a weapon (and a cat as an aide) doesn't sound cool?
Right now there's a great contest going on called the My360Theme Contest. It allows users to create Xbox 360 Dashboard themes, upload them, and then be voted on by everyone. I've just uploaded the Official Co-Optimus Theme, so everyone should head on over there and vote! In fact - I highly recommend everyone creates and account and v...
The folks over at Xbox360 Fanboy have discovered (via NeoGaf) some new tidbits about the upcoming Gears of War sequel. Get your chainsaw gun ready, because the GoW2 has some really unique cooperative features. Up first is the ability for each player in co-op to be playing on their own difficulty. Yup, that means one person coul...
Gamotopia gives news of a co-op title that completely flew under our radar: 'WWII Aces' for the Wii. You and a buddy can enlist in the Royal Air Force, Soviet Air Force, or the Luftwaffe for some airborne action. Choose from 12 authentic airplanes of the period and take off to complete one of 70 different historic missions. The ga...
For non-Ikaruga fans, the game's core concept is that the color of your ship determines who can damage you. If your enemy is the same color as you, your enemy's attacks won't damage you (in fact you can absorb their attacks). And inversely, if you and your enemy are different colors, their attacks will damage you.This is where the color-changing aspect comes into play.
