The last time we checked in with Marvel's Avengers was over three months ago. At that time the game had only just launched and it was loaded with bugs, glitches, and frankly was almost unplayable in co-op. Recently the game got its first character DLC with Kate Bishop, released for free for all players. So we decided to dive back in.
The Co-Opticrew is on the lookout for things to pillage this weekend. We don't care if it's enemy ships, antagonistic aliens, or our own dreamscapes. If there's loot to be had, we're on the case. What will we do with said loot? Probably just ogle it for a while until something better comes along, if we're being honest. C'est la vie.
SEGA and Amplitude studios have announced a new game set in the Endless universe called Endless Dungeon. The game is a stylistic three player online cooperative twin-stick shooter
Last night at The Game Awards, Warner Bros and developer Turtle Rock Studios unveiled a brand new cooperative shooter called Back 4 Blood. The game is being developed by many of the original developers of the Left 4 Dead series and from the first videos, it clearly shows.
ASTRO debuted its first A20 (Gen 1) wireless headset three years ago as a mid-tier alternative to the pricier A50. As the gaming industry prepared for the launch of the current gen consoles (PS5 and Series X), so, too, did ASTRO; this past October they launched the Gen 2 version of the A20 wireless headset, which touts a couple new features over the Gen 1 while still maintaining that mid-tier pricing.
One of the consistent things every Halo game has had is co-op play. And while it simply started as clones of Master Chief running around in 2 player co-op Halo, the game progressed to integrate it into the story with Halo 2 as the Chief and Arbiter were the focus of that campaign. And with four player co-op being added in Halo 3, it changed the benchmark for the series.
It's getting mighty chilly around Co-Optimus HQ. If things get any worse, we may be forced to take a few days off and wait for the routes to clear between our bedrooms and... our other bedrooms. There's no telling what could happen if we tried to commute in these conditions, so it's probably better to play it safe.
Not only did the Next Console Generation(TM) finally hit the shelves last month - there were so many games with some kind of co-op feature released that our release date calendar couldn't keep up any more and stopped displaying them. Don't worry though: Our elves in the server mines are of course working hard on the problem. In the meantime check below to see if you might have missed something interesting. The database on the other hand saw an addition of over 185 entries of all shapes and sizes. Dig in!
A long time ago a music games were all the rage. Battles were fought on consoles for the ultimate "hero" game with the likes of Guitar Hero, Rock Band, DJ Hero and many others. But the bubble burst and those games were found few and far between. Now one of the original studios is back, with Harmonix bringing us a brand new game that teaches players about mixing together music. It's called FUSER.
The Co-Opticrew is back at it again with the weekend video games. Now that we're well and truly into those chilly temperatures, we'll be cozying up with our game of choice and enjoying a nice cup of... whatever it is folks are into these days. Pumpkin spice? TikTok dances? Who knows.
The zambies are back. The ZAAAAMBIES return. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has released and with it the ever present zombie mode made famous by Call of Duty: World at War. The new flavor of zombies is a lot of the same, but also tweaked to feel decidingly different.
Earlier this year in May, HyperX and Ducky launched a collaboration: the HyperX x Ducky One 2 Mini Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. This was an exciting collaboration that partnered Ducky signatures (like 60% keyboard size and Ducky Macro 2.0) with HyperX hallmarks (such as in-house HyperX switches with exposed LEDs). Only 3700 units were released, and they sold out very quickly.
