Dungeon Fighter LIVE Update Fixes a Few Issues, Ignores Most

Prior to its release, Dungeon Fighter LIVE: Fall of Hendon Myre simply overflowed with potential. A combination of beat-em-up and RPG with an online multiplayer focus; how could things go wrong? Well, they did go somewhat awry, as our Co-Op Review explains. A complete lack of visual character customization and an online interface that would've been outdated in 2006, let alone 2012 makes what should've been a fantastic game into only a decent one. Developer Nexon has just published an official update that tweaks a few things here and there but sadly ignores just about all the issues that keep DFL from greatness.

Our thoughts go out to those affected by Sandy

Our Weekend in Gaming - Natural Disaster Edition

To be fair, most of the Co-Opticrew was spared from Sandy's wrath, but it's definitely put a crimp on our coverage of a certain AAA game that's set to be released next week.  But our slight inconvenience is nothing compared to the devastation that some felt this past week from Hurricane Sandy.  So please visit your local Red Cross to help out those in need.
