If you're a fan of the LEGO games, you've likely played for dozens of hours as the main stars of their many licensed universes - Harry Potter, Marvel, Star Wars, etc. However, one of the largest attractions to the series, for me at least, is the chance to play as those oft-forgotten characters. The "Had A Fourteen Issue Comic Run" characters, the "Appears Briefly In The Background Of The Bar Scene" characters. You know the type.
Harmonix has announced that a new Spotlight Pass will be incoming for popular garage band simulator, Rock Band 4. A fairly lean season pass, it will grant purchasers permanent access to eight new songs over a course of eight weeks.
Hard as it may be to believe for some of us, but the very first Kirby game (Kirby's Dream Land for the Gameboy) was release in North America 25 years ago yesterday. To celebrate the little guy's Silver Jubilee, a number of Kirby titles are on sale via the Nintendo eShop, including Kirby's Return to Dreamland for the Wii U (via Virtual Console) and the more recent Kirby: Planet Robobot.
The sequel to Titanfall was a critical and commercial success, though it was one we initially skipped over as it was multiplayer only and no co-op focused gameplay. Titanfall 2 originally launched in October of 2016 and now, 9 months later, has seen the addition of co-op through the free DLC titled “Operation Frontier Shield”. Additionally, the game is now playable for free through EA’s Origin Access.
The most recent Kickstarter update video for Larian Studios' Divinity: Original Sin 2 shows off a feature that we've been anticipating: local co-op on the PC. But wait, it gets better! Combo co-op, either online or via LAN, will also be supported.
One of the big hits of 2016 was the "open-ended country-life RPG," Stardew Valley. This labor of love from one-man development team ConcernedApe let players own and operate their own farm while also engaging in other activities like romancing the local townsfolk and throw some festivals. While it is a single-player only affair, there's some good news on the way: co-op will be implemented sometime next year.
In an announcement video put out earlier today, Capcom slapped a fancy ol' release date (August 29th) on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Resident Evil: Revelations. Considering the game's 3DS origins, it looks pretty fantastic, but we're not here just to slack our jaws at higher resolutions.
It feels like we've seen a great number of videos of EXOR Studios' top-down shooter meets tower defense title, X-Morph: Defense, but there's a lot going on in the game. Well we won't have to just watch the action for too much longer as X-Morph will be getting a final release later this month.
Were you excited to finally check out the final version of ARK: Survival Evolved next week? Yeah, well, got some bad news for you. You'll have to wait until the end of August now... you know, when all the video games are coming out.
The pride of building a really dope fort still seems to be lingering from last weekend, so it's looking like the Co-Opticrew will be staying the course and enjoying a double dose of Fortnite. However(!), Supergiant's latest game, Pyre, is also out, so a couple of us will also be fighting for our freedom by straight dunkin' on fools.
We're still waiting for some co-op focused videos/info for the newest Monster Hunter title, Monster Hunter: World, but in the meantime Capcom is providing plenty of other goodies. This week, they've released a number of videos that highlight the 14 weapons you'll be able to use in the game.
If you've got an Xbox Live Gold subscription and an Xbox One, then you've got a date with the ultimate evil this weekend. Until 11:59 PM EDT Monday, July 31, you can head over to the Xbox Store or select the "Gold Member" area from the Xbox One dashboard and download Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition for free.
