While Tom Clancy's The Division has been out for a couple weeks now, there are still a few lingering questions out there about co-op and the like. Fortunately, we've got some answers.
While those of us in the U.S. and Europe have a couple more weeks to wait until we can dive into Dark Souls 3, but gamers in Japan only have to wait one more day. In anticipation of its release, the launch trailer was dropped yesterday and there are a few more voices chiming in here...
It seems like an eternity since Tom Clancy's The Division was announced but it's finally here and we've put it through its paces. Was it worth the wait? Was the scripted co-op dialogue in early gameplay demos close to reality? Let's take a peek and find out....
As the cold weather wanes, all kinds of little critters emerge from their shelters to breathe in the spring air. Look over there, it's Mrs. Chipmunk shaking the cobwebs out of her fur! And up there, in the sky, it's Mr. Bat testing out his wingspan! And behind that rock, it's a horde of Microsoft's Discount Fairies finding some prices to slash! Ah, isn't it beautiful?

Inspired by the likes of Metal Slug and Contra, Mission: Afghanistan is a sidescrolling shooter with heaps of old school charm. A plane crash strands you deep in enemy territory, and the only way to survive is to grab a gun and start spraying bullets. Sounds like danger is indeed very close.
We've flung countless adventurers at the devil himself in the 15 years since Diablo 2 launched. I've run through through the pits of hell at least ten times with a buddy or two in the last decade and a half, I would not be who I am today without that harrowing journey. I placed my kris knife on the mantle for the last time around 2009, though many warriors still trudge through the low-fidelity dungeons for the chance to punch Diablo right in his stupid face. Last week, those same stalwart heroes were greeted by something they hadn't seen in five years: a brand new patch.
Blizzard has teased a new Co-Op Mission (what used to be known as "Allied Commanders" mode) for StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void. Dubbed "Chain of Ascension," this new challenge will place players on the side of Ji'nara as she engages in a mental battle against a mysterious foe. Failure means this new threat will gain control "of the death fleet from Alarak." I don't know what those words means, but a death fleet sounds cool.
There's something to be said for games that distill their entire purpose into four words. And using those four words as a title? Hat tip to you, fine developers! Machine Gun Train Run is a sidescrolling platform shooter that gives you a machine gun, puts you on top of a train, and gets you to run around shooting things. Surprised? You shouldn't be!
Taking a more survivalist approach than many voxel sandbox games, The Kindred aims to keeps things civil in the most literal of ways. You and your friends start with nothing, then slowly build your city and society one discovery at a time. After all, nothing says "fun" like raising animals so you can survive the winter!
It's barely been a year since Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate made its way stateside, and to be honest, I'm still playing it. The series became something of a surprise hit outside of Japan thanks to the intensive effort put in by the localization team. Naturally, when Monster Hunter X was released in Japan last year, North American gamers had three words on their mind: us next plz?
