Earth Defense Force games have traditionally been M-rated affairs, if only because the giant insect and frog enemies spray lots of goopy blood when shot. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, the new spin-off game from Yuke’s and D3 Publisher, is a more family-friendly entry that trades in low-budget but realistic visuals for colorful and bloc...
Next month is all about upcoming games with E3 as well as Summer Game Fest, PAX Online and several publisher-events most likely chock-full with new announcements to get us excited for autumn and beyond. We are however not here today to look forward to June but instead look back at May which was a bit lighter in terms of new releases compared to the rest of 2021 so far but still saw quite a few highlights including the surprising re-release of couch co-op classic Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. Another note-able achievement was the release of Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition for iOS. A huge game you would think would never work on a iPad let alone with full splitscreen-co-op-functionality but Larian actually pulled it of. And if RPGs are not your cup of tea: No problem! How about playing around with old people in Just Die Already, scaring your pants off with Outbreak: Endless Nightmares or shooting huge block-bugs in Earth Defense Force: World Brothers? As always there's something for every taste and friend circle. Just take a look below.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human, the sequel to the open world co-op survival action game, releases December 7, 2021 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Many were wondering if the game was still going to see the..uhm...light of day after staying dark for so long. But developer Techland has put out a ton of new content showcasing what players can expect at the end of the year.
It has been a long time since an EDF game launched on multiple consoles simultaneously, but that changes today.

Are you ready to save the Voxel Earth from devastation, soldier?
With the recent sale on the Civilization VI franchise over on Steam, a few of us decided to dive back into the now five year old title. There's been a solid steady stream of content added thanks to last year's New Frontiers Season Pass. On top of all of the new civilizations to choose from, there's a bunch of new rule sets and modifiers to keep the game feeling fresh.
We just hit a milestone with our friends over at HyperX. We've now written and covered over 30 pieces of gaming gear from headsets, to mice, and finally keyboards. It's the latter today we wanted to focus on with a special giveaway sponsored by HyperX.
Back 4 Blood is inching closer to release, and after watching Zombie Army on Netflix last night, I'm itching for a zombie shooter. We've now gotten the reveal of the full list of 8 playable characters including bios and other details.
ROCCAT is back with an new gaming mouse in its Kone lineup, first introduced in 2007. The new Kone Pro though is taking design cues from the recent Burst Pro Extreme. What sets this apart from other mice out there? Let's fine out.
The headset wars continue on Co-Optimus. In our quest to find the ultimate gaming headset for your co-op communication needs, we're working through the ever growing list of options. Up next is from a manufacturer we haven't looked at in quite some time - Logitech. Their Pro X Wireless Headset is a fully featured DTS set of cans with a Blue technology microphone to capture crisp chat. Let's dive in.
The Red Solstice was one of those hidden co-op indie games we adored a few years back, so it's great to see it getting a proper sequel. The Red Solstice 2: Survivors takes place in the year 117 after Earth when corporations rush to secure dominance over the last remnants of humanity. Like it's predecessor, players team up with up ...
Second Extinction, the three player co-op dinosaur action survival game just hit Xbox Game Pass this month. But the Co-Opticrew felt it was time to dive in and check out the Steam version, which has been in early access since late last year. Last night's stream didn't quite go as planned, but boy, we had some fun.
After the insane month that was March full of new releases, the publishers and developers allowed us coop-fans at least a bit of rest in April with "only" around 35 games hitting the store fronts - many of them smaller indie titles with interesting concepts and/or visuals. Definitely worth to take a look down below at which gems you may have missed.
