The undead enthusiasts making Hellraid want you to believe in the power of skeletons to work together as a team. We are all acutely aware just how coordinated skeletons can be. That is to say, as coordinated as a bunch of shambling bones with no brains can possibly be. Or, if they do have brains, they probably aren't in any state to produce thought.
The Monster Hunter franchise is massive. It may not have sold by the bucket load in the West, but in Japan it is one of those games you have to play. Owners of a PlayStation Vita and a PS Plus Membership can now recreate a day on the Bullet Train by downloading Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for free.
Fight The Dragon aims to offer a true RPG experience while letting player creativity run wild. Connecting each user generated level in an interesting and clever way, Fight The Dragon is a welcome addition to the plethora of user generated games.
Though its been on Steam's patented Early Access since December, info out of GDC reveals that Dungeon of the Endless is destined to support four player co-op at full launch. Now all you need is three friends who are willing to endure hours of being devoured by aliens in loincloths in the dimly lit ruins of an ancient maze.
It's a special birthday episode of the Co-opticast as one of our hosts celebrates theirs. There's a whole lot of Dark Souls 2 talk this episode, much to the chagrin of Nick. Ready to praise the sun and all that? Listen in or watch!
The folks down at Turtle Rock Studios take co-op very seriously. They'd have to, given they were the developers of Left 4 Dead, which is one of the cornerstones of recent co-op titles. Turtle Rock isn't about to rest on their laurels by making Evolve a four player zombie genocide simulator, however. Innovation drives the industry, of course.
We informed you guys about The Red Solstice last May, when the game was entering alpha. Just recently, however, developer Ironward launched a Kickstarter campaign for just enough outside funding to help finish up its sci-fi RTS/RPG co-op game.
It's no secret that Tom Clancy's The Division looks incredible. Not just from a visual standpoint, but also on a technical level. Bullets blaze through cop car windows and leave bullet holes, not just blasting out the glass entirely. Likewise, your agent will thoughtfully shut said cop car doors as they are taking cover behind it. No idea why they feel the need to prioritize that while being shot at. Maybe they're just trying to keep the "door open" light off.
Blizzard recently confirmed that they are, indeed, working on an Xbox One edition of Diablo 3, but Microsoft has yet to confirm that the game will be coming to the console. Kind of perplexing, we know.
The latest Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare DLC, "Garden Variety Pack" had caused a few issues on consoles last week that Popcap is currently trying to remedy. Please be aware that they are doing everything they can to get the bugs fixed promptly.
We love Typing of The Dead: Overkill's wacky style. When the original launched, typing phrases like "Ample buxom" and "Is it too late to shake hands" always had us giggle as we shot off the heads of various zombies. Then the Shakespeare DLC was released and we were suddenly trading horses for zombies heads (instead of kingdoms) all while washing blood off our hands. When things couldn't get any better, the Silver Screen DLC dropped and we were typing our favorite one liners from Apocalypse Now and Die Hard. Just when we thought developer Modern Dream reached the top, they go one step further.
There are two co-op releases this week and technically, both are expansion packs in one way or another. I guess at this point in time you need to take whatever gaming content you can, especially cooperative games, as they seem so few and far between lately.
