When done right, downloadable content can add life to game far beyond its initial release. PayDay 2 is a great example of this as the game has had so much added content over the past two years. This is set to continue in the PC version with announcement of new Ninja DLC.
As the Star Wars engine ramps up for the December release of Episode 7, and DICE is hard at work making sure Star Wars Battlefront lives up to the stellar pedigree set by the first two games. The game's November 17th release date marches steadily on, a few more tidbits of information have come from the usually sealed lips down at DICE, though not all of it might be what you want to hear.
Before the end of July, parkour ninja's will be coming to the PS4 to bring us the best version of N to date. Don't worry, there's plenty of new features to check out, including a level editor!
Dead Island 2 was noticeably absent from E3 this year. We spotted the beginnings of the title last year and had high hopes for what the game would do in the hands of a brand new developer in Yager Interactive. But alas all was not well with the game's publisher Deep Silver not happy with the direction or progress of the title, sending along an official statement on the development status.
Here's one for the record books. Battletoads was released in 1991 with a local co-op mode that reminded you why co-op existed. There was just one problem: on level eleven (you know, the one where a rolling lollipop chases you, then you beat it up at the end), a glitch caused the second player's controller to lock up, insta- and perma-death until the next level.

What we now know as the “Western” genre has grown exponentially over the years in both followers and pervasiveness, but what exactly is it that makes the Western so attractive? Older generations seem to come to it for the sense of freedom it bestows, the dark storylines, the chance to see rad dudes do rad things. For a few r...
We just recently posted our written review of The Red Solstice, it's a game we've been playing for the past year thanks to Steam's Early Access. The top down action game puts eight space marines onto Mars fighting back a brutal alien menace. Together through various classes they'll need to complete random objectives and escape before they are overrun.
Have you ever wondered what happens after you beat the final boss? After the credits roll and everybody lives happily ever after? You're about to find out. Roving Rogue from PadaOne Games begins where most stories end. You play as Kurt, a short rogue who can teleport short distances, and it's your job to find the beginning. With some friends, of course.
It makes me happy to relay that we've received confirmation on the last couple of toy lines coming to the upcoming Toy Soldiers title, Toy Soldier: War Chest. What two properties could possibly contest the epicness that is G.I. Joe and He-Man? Well, two equally epic characters of course!
Sometimes writing about games gives you the opportunity to write about other things. We regularly receive PC and console peripherals, and we've racked up quite a few headphone reviews over the years, but furniture? That's new to me. Recently, the folks at Sumo sent Co-Optimus HQ their Sultan, a large, stylish beanbag chair meant to be the ultimate place to relax in your home while you game, watch TV, or generally be as slothful as possible. I've had it for about two weeks now, and have put it through just about all the paces.
Worried about getting your voxel fix when Windows 10 is released? Don't worry, Microsoft's already got it taken care of. Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition has been announced for the upcoming OS, and the neat thing is it's free for owners of Minecraft on PC!
