Download only games are well and good, but not everybody likes to buy something they can't trade in. Thatgamecompany and Ubisoft have independently come up with the same idea; to bundle up some of their most popular download games and sell them in shops. ...
When Eric and I were deciding on a game to play for TWIC we ran through a plethora of titles that would work just fine but outside forces stopped us from finding that perfect title. One of us would not own a game the other chose, or when we did own the game it would be on the wrong platform. For whatever reason; call it luck, destiny, or predetermination, fate would conspire to finally find the game that we were to play together.
Holy Hanna Barbera, Batman! In case you were hiding in the back of the Batcave, Lego Batman 2: DC Heroes now features a playable demo on Xbox Live.
It was just the other day that Andrew was lamenting that July looked quite barren for co-op gamers, with Anarchy Reigns being delayed until next year there wasn't much else on the release schedule, well, except for THAT indie game. It looks like Blue Shield Alliance is about to get a buddy on the calendar as Robot Entertainment have announced an official release date for their co-op tower-defense like game, Orcs Must Die! 2.
Saints Row: The Third's giant, super-powered DLC that was expected to come out later this year has been gobbled up by Saints Row 4. "Enter the Dominatrix" will now be a part of the next installment of the franchise, which is due to come out in 2013.
Did you hear that the new Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor game came out? The mech simulator has picked up some pretty harsh reviews. I'm eight missions into the game after one evening, and apparently that makes me the Crown Prince of Gamer Masochism. I can say, without a doubt, it's the best motion controlled mech game I have ever played.
Last month Mass Effect 3 got a bit of co-op DLC, which was released at no cost. But since then we haven't heard much about the game, other than the fact Bioware is working on another piece of free DLC to "enhance the ending" - which was the cause of much controversy when the game was launched. An internet leak, as reliable as those always are, may point out some more information about the free ending DLC along with some new co-op DLC called Earth.
Consider yourself Gods Gift to woman/mankind? Then prove it with split screen co-op in Babel Rising (please note this is the smiting type God)
It's a facial hair extravaganza with Locke rockin the stash and Andrew going baby face. Oh right, we talk about games though, not men's grooming habits. It's E3 news the entire show as we talk about the games we played, the people we saw, and the goods we delivered.
Many players like shaking things up with Nintendo games. Much like Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s own Project M, the WiiBrew community has developed a mod for Super Mario Galaxy 2 that has added a sweet co-op mode to this 3D Mario title.
Remember that one time in Magicka, when you accidentally killed everyone? Get ready to do a lot more of that. New DLC launches today. Embrace your evil side in "The Other Side of the Coin." This evil expansion allows you to play as Alucart and his Necromancer lackeys. Your mission is to make life miserable for humans, dwarves, and elves. Sounds simple enough. Watch the evil-doers in the following video.
We didn't get to play Dead Space 3 at E3, but we did get to watch a pretty sweet video. As I mentioned in our preview, we got to see the main character, Issac, interact with NPC/potential co-op partner Carver in both single player and cooperative play. EA and Visceral Games were quick to point out that the co-op would not affect the honorific atmosphere the Dead Space franchise is known for. Don't take their word for it, you can see for yourself in the video below:
