I hark back to the days when pirates used to say things like "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum", rather than "I have just installed Malware on your PC." Ubisoft obviously feel the same as they are finally ready to smash that bottle of champagne against the hull of the olde worlde HMS Assassin's Creed IV:Black Flag.
Upcoming PS4 launch title Knack has a rather unusual co-op mode, but until now it's been just a bunch of verbal descriptions. Two new videos finally show off some multiplayer action, including remote play using a PS Vita!
Second screen co-op seems to be one of those next-gen features that everyone wants to implement, but nobody is really sure if they are going to stick and take off. While not a traditional form of co-op play, these modes allow a one or more additional players to utilize a tablet or phone to somehow enhance the primary player's experience. The latest game to give this a shot is Madden NFL 25 from EA Sports on the Xbox One.
With its cute voxel chickens and adorable sheep in a rainbow of colors, Minecraft doesn't exactly have a reputation as the scariest game around. Even the whole Enderman thing is, at best, creepy in a weird sort of way. Mojang is releasing a limited time Halloween texture pack for the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft that looks to add a little bit of spookiness to your awesome subterranean cave empire.
Welcome back to Beyond Co-Op, the weekly piece that looks at gaming news around the industry that may or may not pertain to cooperative gaming. This week we've got some mobile gaming news, a release date for the biggest game of "next-gen" and a next-gen trailer for another sports game.
Playing video games for 25 hours straight may seem like the laziest thing a person could do, but the truth is, it’s extremely difficult. The first few hours are no problem, but when you get into the teens, your body starts shutting down because it thinks it needs sleep. Too bad we can’t just tell our bodies that we’re gaming for a...
This Tuesday, I got to go hands-on with upcoming co-op puzzle/adventure game, Tiny Brains by new indie studio Spearhead Games. I was invited to TriplePoint PR’s New York office where I was courteously shown into a room complete with a developer-only version of the Playstation 4.
We do love our Skylanders around Co-Optimus HQ. The series has been a co-op staple for years now, but the latest game, Swap Force, is the best we've seen. Don't worry, not everyone is unleashing their inner-child.
Our hands-on session with Super Mario 3D World was very informative about how the co-op aspects worked, but we wanted much more time to experience all that the game has to offer. Luckily for us, a 6 minute long video of Super Mario 3D World was recently released by Nintendo, showing off many of the aspects we discussed in the article, but also some new elements we have yet to try ourselves.
The first time I played Skylanders at E3 I knew Activision had something special on their hands. Combining physical collectible toys and a video game has been done before, but not to the level where those toys are actually placed in and become part of the game. Once the game was released I jumped on the Skylander train, and while I found the game e...
The ever-so seasonally conscious folks down at Tripwire have flipped the switch for their own Killing Floor Halloween event, Hillbilly Horror Fright Yard, active until November 7th. It's only natural that a horror game celebrating the summer solstice and Christmas should also feature a Halloween-themed update for the spookiest holiday. Grab your weapon of choice, five buddies, all the dosh you can carry, and jump into a redneck zombie-infested train yard for some super British survival horror.
