One of the most important elements of any First Person Shooter is the weaponry on offer. Science Fiction epics such as Halo 4 are not constrained by piffling concepts such as physics or reality. Even so, 343 Industries are doing a good job creating believable future weapons for UNSC troops to handle. Check out the trailer to see an artillery of them.
Using the forces of gravity with… colours (also known as “colors” in the Western world), Colour Bind takes an original approach to gravity-based mechanics in a thinking man's game. If you’re big on puzzle games (especially ones with co-op content) then this is a title that you might want to take a look into.
The Achievements list is out for Resident Evil 6. Do you like spoiling stuff for yourself? I sure as heck don't. I got the goods from Xbox360Achievements.org and Eurogamer. I didn't so much as glance at the content. I don't know if there are co-op chievos, solo chievos, or versus chievos. I don't even know if the list is in English.
I think we can all agree the world needs more side-scrolling brawlers. Nick and I recently played through the arcade classic, Golden Axe, for our regular "This Week In Co-op" column. We had a lot of fun, but something was a little off... oh yeah, it was the eye-ravaging graphics. I would like to get my old-school brawl on, but I don't want to do irrepreable harm to my vision. Whatever will I do? Play some Sacred Citadel, that's what!
Cannon Fodder 3 was released earlier this year, but was only available via Gamersgate. I was initially excited to learn the game was now available via Steam, allowing me to play the game's four player co-op mode with my friends via the service. Sadly once I purchased the game I learned there's no Steam integration to speak of, it's simply a method for delivering the game to your computer.
It is an age old question: who would win in a fight between an Elf and an Orc? I would like to think the Orc would use its brute strength to decimate the light footed elf. We no longer need to ponder this question as the upcoming Guardians for Middle Earth, based on popular film trilogy (and it says here, book) Lord of the Rings, will let you pit one against the other.
Blizzard has recently announced its launch of the Character Profiles system for Diablo 3. Players are now able access their in-game character’s, including their friends', skills, stats, play time, etc. all with a few clicks of the mouse.
Ubisoft's videogame adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a pretty stellar brawler with River City Ransom-inspired gameplay and unparalleled pixel art. It's also based on one of the best comics ever - at least the first four or five volumes of the book. Let us not speak of the sixth. But since the game's release, one major criticism has always plagued it: the lack of online co-op (it's 4-player offline). Well, color us all surprised: a DLC pack entitled 'Online Multiplayer plus Wallace Pack' is set to launch soon, just two years after the game's release. Timely!
It was only a few short weeks ago the Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition gained its highly sought after 1.7.3 patch, giving us loads of new trinkets to play with, such as autosave options, piston mechanics, and shears. Unfortunately, this included a whole slew of new bugs to address. Luckily, Mojang and Microsoft have released a new patch to correct these minor problems and get Minecraft back on track.
Previous incarnations of MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers have enjoyed a fair amount of DLC, and Duels 2013 will certainly be receiving a similar treatment. All you planeswalkers out there might be happy to know that it will be getting a substantial amount of content, including new decks, challenges, levels, and unlockables.
Are you ready for this? If you said "yes," you're a damn dirty liar. No one is ready for "The Expendables 2: The Video Game: The Launch Trailer" NO ONE! I've dubbed the following video "One Minute of Pain." Watch your heroes of yesteryear kill-up all the bad guys, ever.
Do you know what we need to do? We need to play more Iron Brigade! Who doesn't want to stomp around in a WWII-era mech Mobile Trench while fending off waves of demonically possessed TVs? No one, that's who. It also features four player online co-op, funny salutes, and collectible hats. What's not to love?
