It has been revealed that co-op has finally come to Assassin's Creed 3. The new mode dubbed 'Wolf Pack' will feature four player co-op that will have your team taking down NPC targets. This is a first for the franchise and we are definitely excited to be running as a group rather than a one man wolf pack.
Back in May, we caught wind that console MOBA Awesomenauts would possibly be getting not just one, but two new characters in an upcoming free patch. Looks like the information was good, as we recently got word that patch 1.1 will indeed include Coco Nebulon and Derpl Zork, rounding out the Awesomenauts roster to 8 characters.
Game Informer recently spied a teaser website for Earth Defense Force 4. The site offers no details, so we don't know what platforms will carry the game, if it will come to the U.S., or if it even supports co-op. So why are we covering it? The last two games in the franchise were cheesy awesome fun, and they both support co-op, that's why.
We're in the middle of a summer drought (not just in gaming either), but the parched release schedule does offer us Orcs Must Die 2 on July 31. As the game approaches, more and more details creep our way, just like the relentless orcish hordes. The latest bit of news reveals a nice bonus for owners of the first game.
The live action series, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn is set to come out this fall, it's by all accounts "The Halo Movie." At San Diego Comic Con a full length trailer has been revealed showcasing the visual style, characters and effects we'll see when the series launches this October on the web.
Q-Games has quite the kaleidoscopic pedigree, touching on very different genres with each game they produce in the Pixeljunk series. Pixeljunk 4AM presents itself as a ‘Virtual Audio Canvas’ that is a musical toy using motion controls in an innovative way, allowing the user to create a soundscape of rhythmic synesthesia. 4AM does away with the traditional sense of mixing music but is built on the foundation of loops, beats, and samples.
After waiting a long while to hear some news on Epic Game’s announced title, Fortnight, Epic Games producer, Tanya Jessen (along with Cliff Bleszinski) have unveiled some sweet details regarding their new, sandbox survival title to the fans over at Comic-Con.
Gearbox's other four player cooperative title, Brothers in Arm: Furious 4, was notably absent from this year's E3. The studio's head honcho and co-op aficionado, Randy Pitchford, recently told CVG "the game has evolved." He wouldn't say what the game had evolved into... I'm hoping dinosaurs, because, well, WWII-era Nazi-eating T-Rex's would be a glorious thing. But that seems unlikely.
The robed wizards of Magicka will not be attending San Diego Comic Con. They had a run in with a Necromancer from their "Other Side of the Coin" DLC. The following video may be the last we see of the mustard wizard. As you can see from the images above and below, the video is not lacking in the ball-gag and gold-trimmed...
Not much more to say - if you're headed to the San Diego Comic Con this weekend you should stop by and check out the LEGO The Lord of the Rings video game in all its co-op glory. If you aren't headed to sunny San Diego to schmooze it up with celebs, check out comics and cosplay, and get your hands on the latest video games - perhaps a handful of new screens from the game will make up for it.
It's almost time for another gaming convention, or in this case, comics and games. The San Diego Comic Con kicks off today and with it comes some gaming goodness. If the last full Borderlands 2 trailer we saw had too much DubStep for your eardrums to handle, perhaps you'd prefer the latest rendition - with a little Wimoweh. Yes, this will be stuck in your head the rest of the day.
Most people, myself included, have a group of friends who really click and spend the most game time together. I like to call this group "my crew" because, well, they're by my side through thick and thin. They're the guys or gals that churn fun times out of terrible games, and create smiling-so-hard-your-cheeks-hurt moments out of great games.
