Fans of Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and pretty much every other Warriors-based franchise have a lot to look forward to next March. Warriors Orochi 3 will feature over 120 playable characters, including favorites from the Three Kingdoms as well as appearances from Ryu Hayabusa, Joan of Arc, and Achilles. We've got some fancy new screens for your viewing pleasure today.
I have seen many customizable options in my day, but nothing quite like this.
February is coming to an end, so let's take one last look at your Most Anticipated Games of 2012. We already heard from Biohzrd451 and BigBadBob113 who can't wait for Gearbox's upcoming titles. One other community member was brave enough to fire up his blog, and it's definitely worth a read.
Ghost Recon Future Soldier looks as if its finally going to see the light of day this May. The four player co-op game has been a long time coming and after our hands on impressions with it at E3 last year, we couldn't be more excited for the first Ghost Recon game in years. Like any game these days, if you want to get the "entire package" it all depends on where you pre-order from - as most retailers offer exclusives as an incentive.
EA has announced a sequel to the recent modern reboot of Medal of Honor called Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Warfighter... really? Besides the unfortunate subtitle the game is going to be powered by the Battlefield 3 engine, Frostbite 2. That means we should be treated with some truly impressive visuals as well as destructible enviornments.
After a few months in the doldrums of Winter, the Co-Op Monthly Round-Up is back bringing you all the co-op news and info you may have missed in a surprisingly busy February. What did the month of purification bring us? How about a brand new handheld system in the PlayStation Vita and major releases like Syndicate, The Darkness II, and Twisted Metal.
When I turned 7, my Dad threw me a Star Wars themed birthday party. This consisted of all the kids dressing up as Star Wars characters and chasing my Dad (playing Darth Vader) around the garden with rolled up newspapers. Nothing I have seen since has come close in terms of re-enacting the original Star Wars trilogy (certainly not the second trilogy), but Kinect Star Wars has the potential. Two new preview videos have surfaced that give an impression of what the game will provide.
Co-Opticast Episode 82 is here. Our new quad of hosts are finally hitting their stride as they manage to talk about all the co-op goodness they've been playing. From Syndicate to the Vita there's lots of impressions to be had. Then it's on to user blogs to discuss what we want from our games. After that it's onto the news and the biggest announcement, or rather hype, Borderlands 2. Yes we spend 30 minutes talking about a 3 minute trailer. Not really. Maybe.
As one of the worst kept secrets in a long time, the Syndicate franchise has gotten a reboot as a FPS. Developed by Starbreeze many nostalgic gamers were disappointed to learn of the more action oriented direction. But perhaps this was for the better? We go hands on with the single player campaign and deep co-op mode in our review.
We've got three trailers today for Mass Effect 3 each bringing something new to the table. The first trailer was revealed this week during The Walking Dead, it was a 60 second live action trailer that sets the mood for the game. Yes the reapers are coming, yes Commander Sheppard is the only one that can stop them, yes violins are sad.
I don't know why companies still insist on creating code names for their products before coming out with the official title; I was happy with the Nintendo Piddle, before they changed it to the Wii. The latest name change surrounds the spiritual successor to Panzer Dragoon. Project Draco shall now been known as Crimson Dragon. Along with a new name, some equally new details are beginning to appear about this elusive exclusive for the Xbox 360 Kinect.
It was only last summer we showed you the process of renting games from a RedBox kiosk. Hopefully a few of you have gone out and given it a try - it's a good way to check out a game for a relatively cheap fee on a whim. If you haven't actually done it, perhaps this week you will. Why? They're offering one night's free rental.
