Almost a year ago, THQ announced that the Left 4 Dead co-developer, Turtle Rock Studios, was signed on to do another first person shooter. Today, we can announce that their currently unnamed FPS title has finally shown some sign of life and they’ve begun its full development!
Today we have a nice little video featuring one of Diablo 3's range-based classes, the Demon Hunter. (Well, technically, it's IGN's video.) The video showcases a number of skills and abilities for the adventurer. Her special powers are fueled by Hatred and Discipline, so it sounds like she'd be a pretty neat date. Her "entangling shots" look like a valuable asset for co-op play.
If you are still trapped in the mindset that Warriors games are nothing more than mashing an attack button to win, read on and discover the wealth of content that you have been missing out on.
It's time for another ears on look at a pair of headsets. This time we're looking at the Razer Chimaera 5.1 headsets, Mass Effect 3 edition. Do these full wireless headsets live up to our co-op standards? Does Commander Shepard approve of the chat quality for squad commands? Find out in our latest review.
Ska Studios has given us some fantastic co-op games, including the XBLA titles The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, and XBLIG I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1NIT!!!1. The small studio (we're talking two people) is hard at work on their latest bloody adventure, Charlie Murder. We don't know much about the game other than that it supports four player drop-in co-op. The previous Dishwasher titles had both local and online co-op, so our fingers are crossed for combo co-op. We do have a kick-ass video to show you. Enjoy.
An arcade-style, first-person shooter has been revealed by the developers of the Sniper Ghost Warrior series. City Interactive have announced Alien Fear for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network later this year. The Unreal Engine 3 powered game will feature plenty "visceral action."
The new Xbox Live Deal of the Week should bring tears to many an SNK fan's eyes. Most of the Japanese publisher's Xbox Live Arcade games are on sale, which means there's co-op deals to be had! Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug XX, Trouble Witches Neo, and KOF Sky Stage all support 2 player co-op, and they're all half off for Xbox Live Gold members.
PAX East is coming, 6-8th April in Boston to be exact. Whilst some of the Co-Optimus crew will be going this year and even showing off their game, others will be forced to endure the snow that has just arrived in Britain. As well as better weather, another perk that visitors to PAX East will get is some free Penny Arcade DLC for the Steam version of Dungeon Defenders, the rest of us will have to pay $1.99 for the privilege.
Amid the flood of March releases, the Kinect version of Country Dance All Stars seems to have largely fallen through the cracks. But the gaping hole in our coverage becomes more apparent all the time, especially after viewing the game's amazing launch trailer. Frankly, features like co-op campaigns and combo co-op sound like meaningless buzzwords when compared to Country Dance All Stars' exclusive co-op innovation: the ability to "Shake Your Badonkadonk with a Friend!" Why haven't games let us do this sooner?
It is important to take a true work masterpiece of a video game, Portal 2, and fully appreciate every single thing that was put into making it. Now we can, as Dark Horse announced its upcoming book, The Art of Portal 2 will make taking a break from the controller totally worth doing.
Sandswept Studios is pouring their heart and soul in trying to give us the ultimate zombie game, The Dead Linger; an open world, survival apocalypse game with almost limitless potential. However, they are going to need all of us to make the title a true reality.
Orion: Dino Beatdown has a lot of things going for it - mainly dinosaurs and beatdowns. There really isn't much else I could ask for. Well, maybe some bacon and breasts, but I have yet to find the one game that can properly contain the four cornerstones of my adolescence.
