Last week we had some news about an upcoming indie puzzle/platform co-op title, Wyv and Keep, that's currently slated for a PC release; though plans are in the work to take it to other consoles/platforms. We got a few additional details about what the game’s co-op mode would entail, and this week we bring you a full hands-on preview of the alpha version.
For five years now, we've been roleplaying Commander Shepard, making hard moral decisions about the fate of the galaxy, and pining about the lack of campaign co-op. With Mass Effect 3, we're still pining, but Bioware has graced us with a separate co-op mode. Can Mass Effect 3 successfully wrap up the trilogy as well as provide entertaining co-op? Let's find out.
Oh good! The PlayStation Network is getting more on-rails shooters with Move support! They may not be for everyone, but I love this genre. Maybe I just like shooting things without the added hassle of having to walk anywhere...
Don't you hate it when each retailer offers a different piece of preorder DLC and you just can't get them all without skipping out on paying your rent? Sometimes you can buy the DLC later online and sometimes you can't. Well, everyone has a fair chance at Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City's preorder DLC. The game may not be out until next week, but for some reason you can buy its DLC packs right now at Xbox.com.
Another day, another contest at Co-Optimus. This time we're giving away a Collector's Edition of Star Wars: The Old Republic as well as a Prima Games guide for the game. We've talked about the MMO on a few occasions, now is your chance to check it out for yourself!
Good Co-Op, Bad Co-Op - a tale of two friends who love playing games together. The man who gives the best upsidedown hugs, Sunflower4000 and the love wizard Locke have put their differences aside and teamed up cooperatively in a battle against fate.
Were you like me and highly intrigued with Relic and THQ's Warhammer 40K: Space Marine until you found out the co-op mode was more of a Horde mode instead of campaign co-op? But a nice low price can make a difference, and that's where GameFly comes in. The rental service/used game seller has both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of Space Marine on sale for $9.99 with free shipping until 5 PM Pacific Time today. GameFly includes original materials like online passes in the games they sell, so don't worry about being locked out of multiplayer. What better chance to step into a space marine's bulky armor?
Aw yeah! Another House of the Dead game is getting the PlayStation Move treatment! We've been anxiously awaiting the release of The House of the Dead 4 ever since it was announced back in January. Well, at least I've been looking forward to it. I loves me some on-rails shooters!
After much speculation, after a lengthy beta, after almost 12 years...hell will be unleashed again. Diablo 3 is coming to retailers and Battle.net on May 15th, Blizzard have announced today. The action RPG is part of a series that is one of the most popular and longest played co-op series of all time.
As a long time PC gamer I have fond memories of the Cannon Fodder franchise. It was a game where you controlled a mini group of soldiers that either lived or died on deadly missions through the jungle, desert and snow. If they lived, the characters (all named) moved on to the next, if they died, their grave was added to the list of the fallen. Because of this, you became attached to the little guys, and did everything in your power to make sure they survived to see the next battle. Despite what sounds like a sobering game, it was incredibly entertaining - and actually quite silly.
If my Xbox friends list is anything to go by a lot of Co-Optimus readers are currently playing Mass Effect 3, both in single player and in co-op. The co-op maps may be fun, but I have played them all, shot all the bad guys and juiced up my hero to over Level 40. I want more and this leaked image suggests that I will get what I want.
Yep, looks like Sega will need to think of yet another way to re-invent the Blue Blur, as they have decided to possibly halt Sonic the Hedgehog 4 episodes indefinitely.
