Pieces Interactive may be best known for their work on Magicka 2 and Leviathan: Warships, but the Swedish development studio has been around for quite some time and has worked on a variety of projects. Their newest title, Kill to Collect, will mark the first title in a while that's solely developed/published by them. David Ros&ea...
This month, all our stories for MMO Co-Opportunities happen to focus on beginnings and endings. It seems rather fitting, since we’re starting Spring of a new year. We look at a somewhat rocky launch for Black Desert Online, the announcement of the cancellation of EverQuest Next, and a long-time ArenaNet game designer leaving the studio. ...
Ah, spring. What a beautiful time of year. It's got flowers! It's got rain! And also, a third thing! Most importantly, though, it brings just a little more warmth, which means we can open our windows and let the fresh air flow into our living quarters as we hole up and play video games all weekend.
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a refined execution of its predecessor. The same multiplayer and co-op modes have returned (with a few welcome additions), the roster of characters for both sides have expanded (as well as the customization options), and the main menu has been replaced with an interactive “Backyard Battleground” ar...
The eternal struggle betwixt Plants and Zombies continues with Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. Unlike it's predecessor, which only had the Garden Ops co-op mode, Garden Warfare 2 offers a variety of ways for you to play with friends. So here are a few answers to all those frequent questions you're asking.
Working together is obviously important in its own right, but it becomes extra crucial when your task centers around something delicate, like an egg in a spoon, or a souffle, or the corpse of your dead father. Chariot, the much-lauded game from Frima Originals, centers around just such a situation (the one with paternal demise, specifically) and, as of March 10th, will be available for friends, couples, and possibly strangers who happen to own an Apple TV.
The Internet, as we have come to find out, is simultaneously a factory for both unending woe and astonishing joy, i.e. scrolling past your uncle's paragraphs-long Trump manifesto and then clicking on a video about children in Somalia getting to play with an actual soccer ball for the first time. Curiously, the latest community map pack for Dying Light contains both facets of what the World Wide Web has to offer, but it's not quite in the way you'd expect.
With Assault Android Cactus finally landing onto the PlayStation 4, I need some help. Can someone explain to me the frequency of combat droids resembling adorable little girls? Sure, you don't want your nefarious army composed entirely of hulking DeathBots like all the other mad scientists. But out of all the robot designs out there, why do we have to throw the cutesy ones into battle? With Assault Android Cactus, you can even launch four at a time into robotic bullet hell.
Last night the Co-Opticrew dove into the newly release shooter, The Division. To be called a shooter though isn't quite an accurate description of all the game entails. The game is a careful blend of other titles with a mission and world system similar to Destiny, a loot system that borrows from Action/RPGs, and a crafting system that's part MMO and part Army of Two's gun customization. Needless to say we barely feel like we scratched the surface here.
Tom Clancy's The Division is out this week (since Tuesday morning, in fact!), and if you're looking to pick up the game to play on its release week you're going to have to ask yourself, do I go Gold or Standard Edition?
When you think of Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, what do you immediately think of? Eurovision of course; that peculiarly popular Europe based singing competition that has haunted the continent for decades. Perhaps this would not be your first thought, but it was developer Fatshark's when determining what song to have playing on their new DLC video.
Last night's co-op stream we dove into Barony: Cursed Edition. The rogue-like dungeon crawler is available on Steam and has received some major updates in the past few weeks. The game is the culmination of a small team which consists of a 10 year industry veteran, and indie developers as young as 21.
