Another month, another co-op Japanese shoot-em-up goes under the magnifying glass. The first Radirgy game made it to the American Wii, but its sequel is import-only. Can indie developer MileStone compete with the likes of shmup gods CAVE? Read on to find out!
Remember Bad Dudes, the arcade beat-em-up/platformer that once went toe-to-toe with Double Dragon? The folks at newly-formed Pinstripe Games do, and they've even got plans for a sequel. The best way for small developers to resurrect a classic franchise these days seems to be Kickstarter, and naturally that's exactly where Pinstripe has turned to finance the sequel.
A new trailer for Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two has surfaced on Youtube recently, one that should give Wii owners a reason for one last gaming experience before the coming of the Wii U.
We’ve been discussing the Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition “Skin Pack” DLC for a little while now, but up until now we’ve only been able to show off a handful of the skins now available to players. Without further adieu, we’d like to reveal the remaining skins your Steve model will be able to wear in-game. Enjoy!
I know most of you have been totally absorbed with Comic-Con news, the Steam sale, and trying to avoid spoilers for The Dark Knight Rises (the butler did it). However, a few observant gamers might have noticed some of teeny tiny Borderlands 2 previews which came out last Friday.
We've been following Indie Puzzle darling, A Virus Named TOM for quite some time now, and we're happy to say the game is finally getting an official release date after a lengthy beta. The PC version, which will be available on Steam, Desura and direct from developer Misfits Attic will be out on August 1st, 2012 for $10. You can still pre-order the game for the low price of $5 and get immediate access.
What do we have here? One new game this week and a rehash of bundled releases from three weeks ago? Smells like summer. Let's get this over with.
Welcome to Good Coop. Bad Coop. a tale of three friends who love playing games together. Episode 9 is the last part of mission 3, where the boys finally catch their fugitive and 'persuade' him to talk.
Time for another delightful installment of Beyond Co-Op, where we tell you about all the non-cooperative news that matters. Anything else that happened last week was just white noise! This week we got some fun announcements coming out of Comic-Con, a slew of fighting game news, and a Kickstarter campaign that might just shake up the games industry.
The past few years have given us Spider-Man games on an almost annual basis, including the recent Amazing Spider-Man movie tie in and the excellent Shattered Dimensions. Sadly, only one Spidey game in this console generation offered co-op: 2007's mediocre Friend or Foe. If we head back in time even further, we have to travel quite a ways until more co-op webslinging shows up, and one of these games is the topic of today's Co-Op Classics: Spider-Man the Video Game, which hit arcades in 1991.
Might & Delight's previous Pid trailer certainly wowed me with its fantastic music. As it turns out, the game's soundtrack comes from a group called Retro Family (who sound quite similar to The Minibosses). The latest video coming from Might & Delight eschews gameplay footage in favor of showing Retro Family in action. The song will accompany a battle with one of Pid's gigantic bosses, The Butler. Don't worry, we've got new screens of The Butler to show you as well.
We're a bit late with this feature, but that doesn't make it any less pertinent. Last week we spoke with Dylan Barker, designer and semi-community manager for Cadenza Interactive, about what's going on with their latest game and their Kickstarter campaign (which is now closed). Dylan offers some interesting insight into their design process this time around and what Kickstarter means to them, and what happens if it fails (which it sadly did). So give it a listen!
