More than 50 games offering co-op features were released last month across all the major platforms. So while everyone (yes, including us) is waiting for the Next Generation(TM) to arrive in a few weeks, there's still more than enough co-op fodder available to pass the time with friends. The database meanwhile saw an increase of 170 old, new and upcoming titles during the month, making sure that we remain your primary source for co-op gaming!
As part of our roles as Gaming Journalists, we're contractually obligated to bring forth some of our spookiest gaming material for the coming weekend. From what I can tell, it seems like the Co-Opticrew has landed on Hades as its game of choice this time around. What's scarier than having a douche-y dad telling you what to do all the time? Trying to disobey him, failing, and listening to him gloat over and over for eternity, of course.
If you were looking for some new, spooky video game to play with some buddies this Halloween, well you're in luck! The newest entry in the Dark Pictures Anthology, Little Hope, is available today for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Supermassive Games made quite the name for itself with its first interactive horror title, 2015's Until Dawn, and the first entry in its Dark Pictures Anthology, Man of Medan, earned additional praise for the way it allowed you to enjoy this kind of game with friends.
Earlier this week, HyperX released its latest mouse in the Pulsefire line: the Pulsefire Haste. This mouse takes the general shape and configuration shared by other mice in the same family and applies a honeycomb hex shell design to be lighter in weight. At only 59g, the Haste is 28g lighter than the Core (the previous lightest mouse in the wired P...
The HyperX Cloud II Wireless (released earlier this week) takes the successful Cloud II wired headset and makes it wireless! While I haven’t reviewed the wired Cloud II, the wireless version is extremely similar in form, matching in their adjustable aluminum frames, signature HyperX leatherette-encased memory foam padded headbands/earcups, le...
The Cloud Stinger S is the latest headset in HyperX’s Cloud Stinger line, which focuses on delivering a quality sound experience at a lower price-point. Headsets in the Stinger line range from around $40 - $80, and the Stinger S (released earlier this month) fits right in the middle at $59.99. The Stinger S shares the same somewhat blo...
This weekend, the Co-Opticrew is abandoning their ailing reality for a newer, better one. With their virtual life partners at their side, they'll explore new worlds, combat fearsome foes, and drain their bank accounts on highly detailed body pillows. What fun! I hear the nuptials are already being planned, so I'd advise going ahead and picking out some extra tasteful Second Life outfits.
Sucker Punch's stylish samurai third-person action game, Ghost of Tsushima, received its 1.11 update today, which not only brings New Game+ to the title but a whole new co-op mode as well. "Legends" will let you and some friends work together in three different mission types: Story, Survival, and Raid (coming at a later date). Players will choose to play as one of four different classes - Samurai, Ronin, Hunter, and Assassin - and will gain new gear and abilities for their class as they play.
Baldur's Gate is over twenty years old, and while a sequel only took two years, the third game in the series is arriving sometime next year. Players can begin to participate in an Early Access version of Baldur's Gate III which features the game's first chapter, a lot of the core systems and characters, and best of all - online co-op play.
Two weeks after its release, Genshin Impact has made quite the impression in the gaming scene. The free-to-play, third-person action game draws a ton of inspiration from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as well as an elemental system that's reminsicent of the Divinity: Original Sin titles (i.e., combining two elements produces a new result). We spent a little time with the game's co-op and showed off what it has to offer, as well as its limitations.
Vertigo Gaming's Cook, Serve, Delicious series welcomes a new entry today: Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! Similar to the past two games, you'll be in charge of cooking hitting a series of buttons to prepare, cook, and serve food to patrons, but this time you'll be doing it all in a food truck as you go from location-to-location driving through a war-torn America in the distant year of 2042... Yeah, maybe a bit too real these days?
Last week, HyperX released another keyboard in their Alloy Origins line: the Alloy Origins Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with HyperX Blue Switches. This is their first full-sized keyboard to receive HyperX blue (clicky) switches. I’ve reviewed the Alloy Origins keyboard with both HyperX Red and Aqua switches in the past, and (as expected)...
