Dark Souls 2 is a tough game solo, and some people just want to play with their buddies instead of summoning random phantoms in their game. Here is a quick video tutorial on how to summon your friends into your world using an early game ring that can be acquired quite easily. What does this mean? Never go adventuring in Drangleic alone again! ...
It's a good week for games if you like RPGs, in a week that hosts April Fool's Day. Aside from an updated version of a PS Vita game and a sequel to a classic strategy series, we've got a major MMO release with Elder Scrolls Online.
Since posting our Dark Souls 2 review, we thought that it was important that people engage in as much jolly co-operation in the game as possible. While FROM Software has done a great job to allow for players to hop into other worlds and help, there are some simple questions that we thought should be addressed.
Tiny Brains is a magnificent mouse based 4 player co-op puzzler on PS3, PS4 and PC that Co-Optimus gave the full 5 out of 5 wheel of cheese. If that was not enough to make your whiskers twitch, the fact that the game is now permanently down to $9.99 on all platforms and has just received free content may be.
The Diablo 3 expansion hit on PC and the staff is ALL IN. You can be too! If you'd like to join the Co-Optimus clan just give us a search and we'll get you added. We're CoOptimus. Reaper of Souls is pretty much dominating all of our time this weekend.
The latest update to Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has gone live! As if you hadn't already spend a billion hours of your waking life strip mining the resources and building castles among the clouds, a slew of new content awaits eager explorers ready to jump back into the massive, cubical worlds on console. New items, new blocks, and new features for you to discover in your very own randomly generated fun house.
Short and not so sweet news today. Halo Spartan Assault can be purchased on Steam next week for $4.99, instead of being tied to the Windows App Store like it was previously. This means if you haven't made the jump to Windows 8, you can easily purchase the game and enjoy it unlike before.
Last month Warface graced our presence in the form of a closed beta on Xbox Live. This week, the beta is open for all Xbox Live Gold Subscribers, and includes some new content for us to get our hands on. Er, our faces. Our warfaces.
By now you should be well aware that Transformers are robots in disguise. If not, where were you during the 80s cartoons, bombastic movie adaptations or several co-op game based on the franchise? Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is the latest game and the new screens compare us puny humans to the might of (CO) Optimus Prime.
For the most part, Epic Games has been a pretty quiet developer for some time now. Since the release of Gears of War Judgment last year and some entries in the Infinity Blade series, we haven't heard much from the company after this. What happened to the development of their highly anticipated game, Fornite?
When Dead Island: Epidemic was announced, many scoffed at the change in genre for the franchise. Deep Silver, looking to capitalize on the free to play market, have created a game that blends their series with MOBAs and to some degree, action RPGs. To our surprise there's also a dedicated co-op horde mode built into the game for four players. As these impressions are based on early beta versions of the game, a lot of this could change, but there's a good base here to get an idea what Deep Silver has planned.
Way back before Tabletop Co-Op was a regular feature here at Co-Optimus, we covered boardgames every once in a while in our Casual Fridays column, dedicated to family/kid friendly games. One of the first cooperative board games we discussed was Castle Panic, a great game for adults and kids alike reminiscent of the tower defense genre. Today, we wi...
