It's another year and another Call of Duty game is upon us. Like the yearly Madden game, Call of Duty has become a ritual for some with an incredible focus on the game's competitive gameplay and over the top Michael Bay-esque campaigns. But along with that co-op has always been present, sometimes a mixed bag and sometimes something truly special. This year's game is Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and it may be the most ambitious title yet.
Last month, Harmonix announced that Korean sensation PSY's hit song 'Gangnam Style' would be coming to Dance Central 3 as downloadable content, along with Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe.' The K-Pop single seems to pops up everywhere, even during the recent hurricane news coverage, so its arrival in the world's best dancing game is only natural. But Harmonix's initial announcement did not mention when the song would come along. Luckily, Co-Optimus has received first word of the Dance Central 3 'Gangnam Style' DLC release date!
As the Fall gaming releases wind down it's time to start looking at the next big season of gaming. Apparently that's going to be the late Winter of 2013 with a whole bunch of games hitting in the February and March time frame. One such game is Dead Space 3, scheduled to hit on February 5th. While we've been watching the game for months, wondering just how well co-op can work in a survival horror game, EA has been on a campaign to prove that it does work.
It seems someone at the production facility had the wrong disc in the duplicator when it came time to press the copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for the PC. Several users are reporting their copy of the game, which comes on two discs, is incomplete. When prompted to installed the second disc, it actually launches what appears to be the second disc of Mass Effect 2.
In our exclusive interview with Joe Fricano, Producer of Dungeonland at Critical Studio, we get down to the nitty gritty of what makes this title a unique Action / RPG on the PC. Exclusive screenshots await you and details on how you can enter to win access into the beta.
The majority of us here have played Mass Effect 3, completed it and then replayed it for the new ending. However, none of us have experienced the Wii U Special Edition of the game. The 360 may have had Kinect functionality, but the Wii U has unique Wii U Gamepad functionality. Check out the new trailer to get a taste of what the fancy controller brings to the game.
Lots of work has gone into the online matchmaking capabilities of Happy Wars recently, but more work is still to be done. This past Friday, everyone received an update to help correct these flaws, but Toylogic needs help from you to make the next update even better.
When Call of Duty: Black Ops II hits the stores midnight tonight, what’s the first thing you think many gamers will try to do once they get their grubby hands on it? If history says anything, there will be those that want to make the next title their little playground of trolling, cheating, and inappropriate behavior. To prepare for the inevitable, we’ve got the latest information on Treyarch’s crackdown on gamers that don’t play by the rules. Study up!
Earth Defense Force 4 may not come to North America and it may not have co-op. But it probably will. So we're covering it. We've actually covered it a little bit here and there, so we felt a data base entry was warranted. Nothing's officially official, yet - other than the game will support online multiplayer, which will probably focus on co-op. Do all of these details sound kind of wishy-washy and up-in-the-air? Yup. Are the new Air Raider screens so kick ass you won't care? Also yup.
Happy Monday, people. This week we have a whole mess of games releasing to coincide with the launch of the Wii U. Let's do this.
A couple months back we looked at the MMO co-opportunities of the highly anticipated Guild Wars 2. In this month's installment we do a follow-up, focusing on the PVE end-game of the same game.
While the initial release date announcement for Guardians of Middle-Earth illicited some confusion, with only a PlayStation Network and retail date being announced, we've now gotten confirmation of the Xbox Live Arcade release date. The game will be out on December 5th, the day after the PlayStation Network release and will be priced at $14.99. It'll launch with two maps and 20 guardians to choose from.
