PSA for the PSN: Down for Scheduled Maintenance

Everybody stay calm! You may have noticed that you're having difficulty logging into the PlayStation Network today. Online gaming, the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, and the ability to access and manage your accounts are all offline. This is part of scheduled maintenance. Obviously, online co-op has been disabled for all of you favorite PlayStation 3, PSN, and Vita games. How long will the system be down?

Majestic-12 Announced Featuring 4 Player Co-Op

This one has me a bit confused.  The title of the game is called Majestic-12 and it's a retro style co-op action game.  Sweet I thought, that could be pretty chaotic with twelve players.  As I continue to read the description I read it says only four player co-op, ok, still cool in my mind.  But I read on and learn that you are one of only two surviving members of a group called the Majestic 12.  Let's dig deeper into this XBLA and PC game, shall we?

Our Weekend in Gaming - FEZ Are Cool Edition

As we inch closer to a May release of a certain game, some of the staff felt it would be wise to play a 10 year old prequel to celebrate.  Others will be diving into Mass Effect 3 and its new co-op content and one staff member is determined to go to the hospital with a dislocated shoulder.  Surprisingly not many of us are playing FEZ, the Indie darling that came out on XBLA today.  That may change though.  Ahhh...Spring.

A Video Update For A Virus Named Tom

It's been a little while since we've covered A Virus named Tom, an upcoming cooperative/competitive puzzle game from indie developer Misfits Attic. Players work together (or against one another) to complete circuits and spread a virus... named Tom. Today we have two new videos for you: the first is the intro scene from the actual game, the second is a dev blog that shows off several different controller configurations for four player local co-op on a PC, plus a few other things. (Cute baby alert.)
