Sniper Elite 4 is out in just two short weeks for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. The game follows up on the hugely successful 3rd installment of the series which saw a dedicated co-op campaign for the first time. Now Sniper Elite 4 expands on those co-op options, bringing a two player co-op campaign on top of a four player co-op survival mode.
After a bit of silence regarding release details, developer 8 Points (now known as Fntastic) has finally put a date on our first taste of The Wild Eight: February 8 on Steam Early Access. It may not be a final release, but the game has built up enough hype that any sampling is a welcomed event.
Those with a Sony console know that there is more than one monthly scheme around these parts that provides 'free' games. PlayStation Plus is moseying on down on the 7th February with Little Big Planet 3 free to all scheme members - yeehaa!
While a Shadow Warrior 2/PAYDAY 2 crossover was probably wasn't predicted by anyone outside the dev teams, it makes a lot of sense. Both are first-person shooters. Both support up to 4-player online co-op. Both have "2" in their names... well, okay maybe that last one is irrelevant. Regardless, the Shadow Warrior 2 x PAYDAY 2 Crossover event is now live.
In 2015 Guns, Gore & Cannoli manages to get the world of 1920s mobsters and Metal Slug arcade games to sit down at the same table. The result was an awesome sidescrolling shooter with all the classic guns we could handle. But the ballad of Vinnie Cannoli is far from over.
After a lengthy wait, we finally have some co-op information. Yooka-Laylee won plenty of attention and a sizeable crowdfunding purse back in 2015 thanks to its promise of reviving Banjo-Kazooie style 3D platforming. Multiplayer was mentioned, and now we know what to expect.
Last night we went back and checked out the recently updated Orcs Must Die! Unchained, which is now up to beta version 1.7. If you missed the news, the game has recently retooled itself dropping all PvP elements and strictly becoming a co-op (PvE) affair.
Circuit Breakers is a classic twin stick shooter that belongs in an upright cabinet with a ring of snot-nosed kids yelling at the screen. (That's a compliment.) Since we no longer live in the age of big hair, we get to experience the same arcade awesomeness at home. Where it's quiet. And joysticks aren't covered in unidentified sticky substances.
Just a meager handful of games were shown off at the Nintendo Switch unveiling this January. Disappointing, but some publishers have stepped up to show their support for the portable/console system. Days after the presentation, Ubisoft announced three games for Switch, one of which is a definitive edition of our favorite armless co-op experience, Rayman Legends.
There is nothing quite like nestling down somewhere comfortable and having some time to relax. Normally a book would help, or perhaps just have a nap, but the developers of Sniper Elite 4 prefer to take a rifle with them! At least this will help in their Development Diary for the game's 4 player co-op Survival Mode.
Tom Clancy's The Division continues to be supported by Ubisoft with consistent patches, updates, and content since it launched almost exactly a year ago. The latest update is dubbed 1.6 and featured some balancing tweaks and changes, but also some new content and one major change.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's first multiplayer DLC is out today exclusively on the PlayStation 4. It contains four new multiplayer maps to battle on; including Dominion - a re-imagining of the Modern Warfare 2 fan-favorite Afghan. Neon, the “Z”-shaped digital city, Noir, Brooklyn at night, and Renaissance, the idyllic canals of Venice, Italy.
