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.
Hello web heads, its Co-Optimus here with another exciting LEGO Marvel Super Heroes adventure. This 2 player local co-op game is out now across multiple platforms for any comic book fan to enjoy. To celebrate, TT Games have released a branch new launch trailer. Excelsior!
The Co-Opticrew is back to talk about their recent dealings with the recently released FORCED, a game they streamed the prior week. Also on the table Mike gushes about the Hearthstone Beta, Locke hints at How to Survive, and Nick reverts to a 9 year old boy.
Combining gameplay mechanics from the likes of Gauntlet with puzzle-solving elements, BetaDwarf’s FORCED is a cooperative arena brawler unlike anything else I’ve played. It’s simple, straightforward start quickly gives way to a much deeper strategy game that requires you to be as agile with your fingers to attack and dodge as you ...
Another game bundle has appeared, and this time it's quick 'n dirty. Or, at least quick. The Quickfire Indie Bundle from BundleStars features over half a dozen Steam-redeemable games for a small minimum price. It even includes credit for the co-op game Warframe as well as a copy of Cannon Fodder 3.
