Ah, the smell of a freshly poured glass of Mountain Dew. The feeling of a plastic controller between your fingers. The heat of the rising sun filtering through your closed blinds. Truly, nothing beats the act of waking up at the break of dawn and settling into a morning session of theHunter: Call of the Wild.
Hard to believe it's been the "End Times" for nearly two years now. I mean, one would presume that the times would, you know, come to an end and not just wait for so long, but that Vermintide train just keeps rolling. Fat Shark's been maintaining interest in the game with some DLC here and there, but they tried something new with the latest release.
After an impressive debut into the mechanical keyboard market, HyperX has decided to expand their offerings for this particular peripheral. The HyperX Alloy Elite takes the rock-solid design of the Alloy, and adds onto and improves upon a few features.
It's that time of year, again, when the summer heat makes going outside unbearable, and the new summer titles are nowhere in sight. So everyone's just going through their back catalog in anticipation of the forthcoming deluge.
If you were looking forward to checking out Fable Fortune, the (at some point) free-to-play CCG from former Lionhead Studio devs, this week, then you'll have to wait just a little bit longer. In a blog post late last week, Flaming Fowl Studios stated that it had to be delayed a couple weeks due to "an unexpected administration hiccup."
I know, I hear you out there. "Where are the new co-op games," you're wondering. Yeah, me too, buddy. But hey, while we all wait for the inevitable deluge of releases this holiday season, take a little time to check out this week's Deals With Gold where you can pick up Mass Effect: Andromeda, Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax, and more at reduced prices.
While we've known since March that Resident Evil: Revelations would be getting a new release on PS4 and Xbox One, today we now have a release window and details for the 1080p update of the game. The new version will be releasing in Japan on August 31st with US and Europe releases to follow in the fall.
Summer is a great time to play through all of the exciting titles that are released throughout the year and even some older ones as any new releases tend to opt for Fall or Winter launches. You can take advantage of this time by playing some Call of Duty: Ghosts again, which has landed on Xbox One’s backwards compatability list.
While the Nintendo Switch doesn’t boast the biggest library of games at the moment, there are some notable titles coming later this year (some of them even support co-op!). If you’re looking for a quality co-op title now, though, SMG Studio’s Death Squared makes its way onto the Switch today.
The latest Humble Bundle is another Capcom focused one, though this time around instead of fighting games being front and center its Zombies. While a $1 will get you three solid games (Strider, Devil May Cry, and Umbrella Corps), it's the 2nd tier at $7.27 where things start to get interesting.
In an exciting update to their upcoming title, Strange Brigade, developer Rebellion showed 47 minutes of gameplay footage during a Twitch stream a couple weeks ago. Although the title is currently in an Alpha stage, the developers showed off multiple characters, different fighting styles, a variety of weapons, and attacks against the hordes of zombie-like foes.
The original The Escapist was a great game, but lacked a certain something . . . co-op! This is rectified in the upcoming The Escapists 2 as up to 4 players can use drop in online/offline co-op to help each other break free from the Clink. To celebrate the release date of August 22nd, a new trailer has been released.
