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.
We've got a handful of new screenshots for the two player cooperative Family Guy game coming out on November 20th for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse features Stewie and Brian on an epic adventure through time and the universe, with both characters playable in local co-op.
Barcelona is one of the must see cities of the world; the culture, the food, the drink, the ambiance. All of this would be undermined should the dead rise and walk the Earth. This is exactly the turn of events in the Left 4 Dead 2 user-designed campaign Warcelona, available now to download on Valve's official servers on PC.
Welcome to a slightly late but still delightful edition of Beyond Co-Op, our weekly wrap-up of non-cooperative gaming news.
As a long time Halo fan the mythology and evolution of the series has fascinated me. As someone who has been playing video games for the past 30 some years and covering them for the past 10, I've taken a keen interest in the process behind making them - even making one myself. One of my favorite things to do is to look at concept art from video games, like those we saw at the Into the Pixel Exhibition at E3 this year. These pieces of art not only serve a purpose for developer, but are most times beautiful masterpieces that can stand on their own.
Orcs Must Die! 2 received its third booster pack at the very end of last month. Entitled “Are We There Yeti?” it packs a very similar amount of content as the other booster packs. The folks at Robot Entertainment generously hooked us up with a couple of review codes, so I got to sit down with the newest OMD2 DLC and give it a whirl.
The internet can be an awesome place from time to time. I never cease to be amazed at the sheer ingenuity and dedication of fans who are passionate about their interests, and today we have a great video game example of this phenomena. Super Mario 64 was an instant classic when it was released in 1996, and it was incredibly influential to the 3D platforming genre. Great as it was, though, it was missing one thing... co-op! Even the remake for Nintendo's DS system didn't fix this tragic flaw.
Early next week, hungry Halo 4 fans will be given a second helping of Spartan Ops missions to download and play. Are you ready for more?
This week was both a highlight and a low light in America as we held our presidential elections. Obviously it's a great thing to see a country vote for its leadership and democracy in action. But it was ugly as friends, coworkers, and gamers alike turned on each other with nasty vitriol after the outcome. Needless to say it's a good thing we had Halo 4 to distract us.
This week in Indie-Ana Co-Op, A Jolly Corpse steps up to the microphone to share with us their own story of how two plucky adventurers can bring out the best (and at times, the worst) in us, all in the name of cooperation.
Everyone should probably take a break from shooting dudes in the head and take a look at what Junction point has in store with Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. The latest video is a quick glimpse into what Mickey and Oswald can do when they combine their co-op powers.
Too Human developer Silicon Knights has been locked in a legal battle since 2007 with Gears of War developer Epic Games. The lawsuit was in regards to engine licensing and support and was originally filed by SI, but later counter sued by Epic Games. Needless to say it was an ugly battle, one in which Silicon Knights eventually lost. While initial damages were set to cost them $4.45 Million, it appears things are even worse.
