It's almost time for another chapter of Microsoft's public humiliation game, Dance Central. The third installment in the series, appropriately titled Dance Central 3, will allow players to shake their respective groove thangs at their partner's money makers.
EA have announced that Command and Conquer Generals 2 has gone from a full fledged retail title to a Free to Play game powered by the Frostbite 2 engine, the same engine that powers Battlefield 3. The game is being developed by new Bioware studio, Bioware Victory. In an interview with PC Gamer, the game's producer said that the new title will be without a single player campaign, and instead focus on competitive and cooperative skirmishes.
This summer has had one of the worst droughts in living memory. Not in terms of water, but in terms of quality new games. Like a shambling corpse the game industry is beginning to awaken as the winter closes in. What better way to fill in the time between now and Borderlands 2, but by purchasing Dead Block on xbla for only 400 Microsoft Points?
War has been glorified in videogame form since the days of Wolfenstein, perhaps though no game has brought it more mainstream than Call of Duty 2 did during the beginning of this console’s life cycle. Still despite the horror that truly exists on the battlefield, very few games have attempted the emotional toll it takes upon a soldier, instead choosing to make players into a one man army capable of saving the world most of the time. Spec Ops: The Line is doing things a bit differently.
We simply cannot get enough of watching Leon Kennedy or Chris Redfield take down hordes of infected in practically pitch black environments. It brings us back to a time where a Resident Evil game was truly a frightening experience all on its own. After watching these new videos of Resident Evil 6 gameplay, they seem to help elevate the game to another level beyond that.
Co-Opticast Episode 91 is assaulting your ears with the melodic tones of Locke, Nick, Mike and Jason as they sing you the song that is cooperative gaming. This episode we talk what you been playing with the highlight being Team Fortress 2's new Mann vs. Machine mode. After that we talk about Diablo 3 and how more people are playing single player than are playing co-op. What a bunch of chuckle heads!
These Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Skin Packs cannot be stopped (not that we'd want to)! Possibly one of the biggest XBLA titles ever to be released is constantly giving players more content to play around with. This time, more character skins will be coming to console players while we wait for a title update of real substance.
For the past week or so, Blizzard's been teasing the just-released 1.0.4 patch for Diablo 3, detailing many of the systems and class updates, but surprised us a bit when they dropped details on their take on alternate advancement: the Paragon System (Sorry, there's no Renegade counterpart). Once your character hits level 60, you'll begin accumulating experience towards your Paragon level, which bestows core stat increases and permanent boosts to your Magic Find and Gold Find ratings.
Fans of giant alien robots should be pretty hyped. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is rolling out to store shelves today. The sequel to the excellent War for Cybertron will cover the last days of the Transformers' home world. Expect to see Optimus Prime, Megatron, Grimlock, Metroplex, and many others in action.
Ever wanted to hack and slash, ARPG-style, through a Silent Hill game with three friends? Now you can! Well, not now, but come Halloween, you can get your co-op on with some friends and brave the horrors of Silent Hill: Book of Memories. We have some dark and dingy new screens for you. If you look close you can see inventory elements, puzzle pieces, and weapon durability on display. Here's a hint: if your weapon icon turns red, it's about to break.
Hot off the fresh trailer from Gamescom 2012, we've got the 10 minute demonstration of Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel from the EA Press conference. It showcases the game's co-op gameplay as Alpha and Bravo deal some serious damage in what is claimed to be a much more mature game. As long as they are wearing those ridiculous masks, it's hard for me to take that last line seriously.
It's been almost two months since Spec Ops: The Line was released and finally we have the game's promised free co-op content. Called the "Co-Op Challenge Mode," two players can cooperative online through four different maps each with varying objectives. In one you'll need to disable a series of communication towers scattered across the ship graveyard, another has you fighting off waves of enemies while you try to make your escape to a helicopter.
