No headset for you!

Microsoft Will Not Offer Free Headset with Xbox One

In yet another marketing blunder by Microsoft, they have revealed that they will not be packaging a headset with their next gen Xbox One system. While it seems like a poor decision, Microsoft has publicly stated that they hope that players will turn to the Kinect for their voice chat needs. The mandatory Kinect, while capable of serving as a means of communicating with others over Xbox Live, has obvious negative implications involved with its use. The most egregious offense is that when we go online, we will not only hear people's voices, but we will also hear all of the background noise that goes along with it. The Kinect is also not ideal for gamers who are hearing impaired, or those that have children with sensitive ears. A simple and cheap headset would alleviate the issue, but it seems Microsoft's plans are much more exacting than that.

Indie Royale Bundle Features Four Co-Op PC Games

The Indie Royale Bundle has unveiled its latest offering, packing together a handful of games for a low "pay pretty much whatever you want" price. As long as you beat the minimum, of course. This bundle is dubbed the Spiral Groove Bundle and it's all about action games. And what makes an action game even more actioney? The chance to show off your skills in co-op! All four of the games currently featured have co-op modes, so you can stop worrying about how you were going to fritter away your weekend instead of doing something that, I don't know, solves world hunger or something like that. Whew.

In Soviet Russia, Company of Heroes plays you

Company of Heroes 2 Co-Op Review

Approaching World War II from a different perspective, Company of Heroes 2 tells the tale of the Soviet Union as they fought to turn the tide against the Wermacht. While the story is suspect, the core gameplay is extremely rewarding. There is a great deal of content present, with a lengthy campaign, a war theatre, and a competitive online community. Virtually everything you do counts towards your overall level, with unlockable rewards being given along the way. Co-op is also quite rewarding.

I think I'm starting to know why we are to explore the dungeon.

Box Art Revealed for 3DS and Wii U Versions of New Adventure Time Game

Box art time! Looks like D3 Publisher decided to squeeze out a few pieces of box art for the upcoming WayForward action game Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!. Strangely, we could only locate the Wii U and 3DS boxes, which can only mean the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 boxes will be a bunch of dumb scribbles with "Adventure Time" written in Comic Sans. At least, that's what our sources* tell us.

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z Brings New Meaning to 'Dream Team'

As soon as we saw the trailer for Namco Bandai’s newly announced title, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, we realized we could possibly have a real gem of a game here, as far as Dragon Ball Z franchise goes. We asked ourselves: where could they possibly take the Dragon Ball Z games after making practically every character in the series playable? Well, how about mixing and matching them together to form super squads and fight as one?
