Warface is a free to play online shooter that has over 5 million players and has been around for a while. You don't own it yet? Probably because you are not Russian. If you live in the rest of Europe or America you can now finally get your hands on the 5 player co-op shooter.
The formerly iOS-exclusive multiplayer online battle arena Solstice Arena has spawned its very own PC counterpart. Recently released via Steam, Zynga's MOBA makes for a more luxurious experience with the added screen real estate, not to mention the comfort of mouse and keyboard controls.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has been around for quite some time now, and yet nothing has slow down it's evolution in the slightest; it's as popular as game's can get. Since there's so much to experience in the title, let alone playing it cooperatively, it's easy to ask, "Where do I even start?" Luckily, we have some of the most common co-op related questions we've heard since release:
The first in the headhunter add-on series DLC for Borderlands 2, TK Baha’s Bloody Harvest, is available now on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. It'll set you back $2.99 / £2.39 / €2,99. The Halloween themed adventure reminds us of the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned from the first Borderlands, though the goal in this is to obtain a unique skin for your character by collecting the head of a boss.
Set to launch alongside the PlayStation 4 in November, Knack is a curious action adventure title from Japan Studios that stars a form-changing robot fighting against goblins who have invaded a human settlement. A handful of new screens show off some of the other important characters, as well as new abilities for our robotic pal.
It’s a tough start for launch titles. The new highly anticipated IP Watch_Dogs has already been delayed until 2014, and we’ve got word of another delay hitting the PlayStation 4 specifically. Evolution Studies announced that DRIVECLUB is delayed until early 2014, and that includes your PlayStation Plus Edition as well.
Sony will be making an appearance this year at BlizzCon demonstrating the new expansion for Diablo III, Reaper of Souls on PlayStation 4s and PCs. Those wandering the halls of BlizzCon might be some of the first folks to ever play Reaper, given that a demo has yet to be released for any platform. Neither Blizzard or Sony have commented on a PS3 edition of the expansion, nor has there been any hint from Microsoft that a 360 version may be coming.
Half a year after the game's release, Pocketwatch Games has released what is dubbed the "Huge Free Update" for the stealth action game Monaco. It's called huge because there's lots of new stuff, and it's free and an update because, well, it is.
Not long to go now, less than a month's worth of sleeps until the release of the new PlayStation 4 and with it Killzone: Shadow Fall. We already know that the game will have 4 player co-op in the form of a wave based downloadable extra, but it is nice to have a little confirmation on some other elements of the co-op.
Last week, we learned that the PlayStation 4’s audio options would be a tiny bit limited at launch. Mainly due to Bluetooth and USB based headphone chat being non-applicable, a post release patch will be issued in 2014. Similarly, Microsoft’s top, 3rd party headsets will be pushed into 2014 also, due to a delay on the promised headset adapter.
Earlier this year, Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army (the zombie spin-off of the Sniper Elite franchise) rolled onto PC. It combined the Nazi-sniping of Sniper Elite with, you guessed it, zombies. This Halloween, the Nazi zombies are back in Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2.
There are a few co-op titles sneaking out this week, but the "big" one is a new LEGO game, which are always a great couch co-op experience.
