It was almost five years ago that I first sampled the ultra-wide monitor space - a resolution that puts your aspect ratio at 21:9 over the standard 16:9 most monitors are today. Gaming and technology has progressed quite a bit since then - with resolution, design, and refresh rate all improving. So when I got the chance to check out the latest Ultra-Wide gaming panel from AOC, the 35” AG352UCG6, I jumped at the chance.
If we're all being honest with one another, this is a day that felt like it was just a matter of time. 2K has announced that Evolve Stage 2 will be shutdown on September 3, 2018.
New World Interactive has revealed that Insurgency: Sandstorm will see a PC release sometime in September 2018. If you're unfamiliar with Insurgency, it began its life as a mod for Half-Life 2. The team behind it went on to develop it further into a stand-alone title, and are now enhancing THAT version to give us Sandstorm. While there are definite improvements, it also sounds like things haven't gone quite as planned (which I believe is the official motto for the games industry).
If you've wrapped up the spring hits and wondering what you'll do in the next couple months before the next Madden title sounds the horn of Fall releases, then the folks over at GOG.com would like to entice you with a big Summer Sale. I mean, big. 1300 titles big. And hey, we've even gone through and put together a little co-op collection for all you co-op lovers out there.
A new game snuck on Steam and Xbox One recently set in the Serious Sam universe and loaded with characters from Devolver Digital's games lineup like Hotline Miami, BroForce, Shadow Warrior and more. Called I Hate Running Backwards, the new title is from Binx Interactive - a member of Croteam's Incubator indie developer program.
There's gonna be a lot of hootin', a lot of hollerin', and a lot of smack-down-drag-out fightin' this weekend. The Co-Opticrew must have built up a lot of anger in the last week, cause we're either chasing battles, chasing monsters, or chasing sourcerors over the next couple days. I suppose it's good to a let a little rage out every now and then, as long as it doesn't end in someone getting fired cause they "smashed every fax machine in the tri-county area". Or, you know, whatever.
Later this month, you'll be able to play as a superhero family in LEGO: The Incredibles. If being a do-gooder isn't your style, then TT Games has you covered. On October 16, you can play as your favorite DC villain, or make your own, in LEGO DC Super-Villains.
I have no idea how old you are, but I'm assuming you've at least heard of the long-lost technology known as "VHS tapes". They were a relative staple of life back in the day, holding in their cassettes anything you could imagine - dinosaur-ridden theme parks, cartoon transforming robots, recordings of your aunt's wedding that your dad accidentally taped over with an episode of Frazier. Anything.
We're big fans of killing rats around here. Doing so cooperatively is our forte. Now we can continue that quest in style with fancy new hats included in today's massive (and free) content update for Warhammer: Vermintide 2.
The HyperX Pulsefire Surge RGB Gaming Mouse (henceforth, just “Pulsefire Surge”) provides a more specialized experience compared to the original Pulsefire mouse. In eschewing plug-and-play (a term that means the peripheral is fully functional out of the box without any required software), it offers more customizability, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
Saber Interactive's upcoming co-op shooter, World War Z has gotten a brand new trailer showcasing the chaotic action in a snow filled Moscow as hordes of zombies pile up. The game is based on the Paramount movie of the same name, which was loosely based on the book by Max Brooks.
Rocket League, which is nearing its third birthday, has been a steady outlet of seasonal content since release. Almost every update brings with it new skins, toppers, and decals to unlock, and this summer's update is no exception.
