Those that have experienced BattleBlock Theater know that the large assortment of wearable Prisoner heads is a highly sought after commodity. Heck, more than half of the game’s currency is used to purchase those things! If standing out from your co-op buddies is your thing, then this month is a great time to boot up the title and grab some specialty goodies.
It's August! You know what that means? Summer's almost over! Come in out of the heat and play some games. This week we have a nice variety of new releases for your couch-warming pleasure.
What would happen if Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Joan of Arc teamed up to fight a zombie invasion? Could they put aside their nationalistic differences for the common good and rise up again as heroes? That's the question Second Chance Heroes, an indie co-op PC game from Rocket City Studios, is hoping to answer.
A few weeks after PC owners of Sanctum 2 got their hands on the first piece of DLC, Coffee Stain Studios has confirmed Road to Elysion will hit XBLA. Eventually.
The long wait for Rayman goodness is finally starting to come to a close. Following off the success of the wonderful Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends will finally be coming out in a little less than a month. Fans of the gorgeous 2-D platformer are probably well aware of the systems that they can enjoy the game on. Those systems include the Nintendo Wii U, Playstation Vita, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC.
Gather round my hearth ye gentle folk and come play Splinter Cell: Blacklist with me. Except for you Nintendo Wii U owners, if you want the game to be released on the same day on the Wii U as on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, you are going to have to forgo the 2 player local co-op.
Procedurally generated levels, permadeath, local co-op for half a dozen players, and a smooth running speed of 60 frames per second. Yes, please.
Saints Row IV will be hitting store shelves later this month. The game looks like it will be an interesting extension of the events of Saints Row: The Third. The leader of the Saints (played by you) has parlayed their celebrity status into the Presidency of the United States. I think the whole thing is an allegory for the Reagan years, but I'll have to play more to find out.
Side-scrolling beat em' ups have been making a comeback in recent times. Once a staple of the video game world, these types of games took a hiatus, only to be revived once again when retro-themed games once again entered the gaming scene. One such game, Fist Puncher, was released recently for the PC. Fist Puncher, from Team2Bit, was a very zany brawler that featured tons of characters, content, moves, and achievements.
Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, the weekly piece where we look at industry news that may or may not directly relate to cooperative gaming. We're rapidly approaching the Fall season, a time of year that's normally pretty busy for gamers, but with two new console launches it should be extra crazy. Enjoy this quiet time folks, we're gonna be overstimulated before we know it.
505 Games has been churning out a steady stream of Payday 2 videos. We kind of fell behind in our coverage since we were busy with our awesome Free to Play Co-Op Week. Well no more. Today we're bringing you four new(ish) Payday 2 videos to get you ready for the upcoming launch.
Did you see all of the awesome content we posted this week on Free to Play games? We were just as surprised as you too see so many great, quality titles. It's no surprise then that a lot of our gaming time this weekend will continue on those very titles we checked out.
