Knights and Bikes, the adorable hand-painted, cooperative, action-adventure game from Foam Sword, is riding from its PC and PlayStation 4 roots out onto the portable Nintendo Switch today. The game can be played in both single player and co-op, so whether you want to grab a friend (and your pet goose) as you head out, or if you prefer to stay solo, Knights and Bikes is ready to roll.
Sky Rogue, the hottest procedurally generated flight combat game around, is now available to anybody with one of those fancy Xbox Ones. The title was originally released on PC in July of 2015, and in 2018, the folks at Fractal Phase were gracious enough to bring the game's roguelite sensibilities to living rooms worldwide via the Nintendo Switch. Now, thanks to its release on Microsoft's flagship console, that availability expands even further.
The Co-Opticrew has a whole heapin' pile of video games to play this weekend. We'll likely be preparing the base camp this evening, with the ascent coming on Saturday morning. Luckily for us, the peak of Video Game Mountain has essentially the same oxygen makeup and temperature setting as whatever's in our offices or living rooms. I'm not expecting any injuries, but I've sent the staff an extremely thorough list of breathing exercises and hand stretches to ensure nothing goes awry.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War arrives on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One next week, and ahead of its impending release we've got a preview of what to expect from Rebellion's arcade shooter. Join us as we play through the first Story chapter and then switch over to the Horde Mode.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 may have left the public eye ever so slightly since its 2018 release, but that hasn't stopped the game's constant flow of new content. Similar to its predecessor, Vermintide 2's expansions have come in both the free and paid variety, with the most recent release being free to all of the game's current owners.
Despite the world locking down and social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Larian Studios believes they will have a version of Baldur's Gate 3 ready for the masses via Early Access come August, 2020.
Zombies are back in, apparently? After nearly a decade of being the en vogue antagonist for games, books, comics, and movies, I kind of figured people were more or less over the undead phenomenon. As it turns out, though, I was dead (heh) wrong. Luckily, the Co-Opticrew has jumped into action and are spending the weekend mowing down the newly risen hordes of putrid brain-eaters. Their skills may be rusty, but that's nothing a few light machine guns can't fix.
After getting out a patch that addressed some major issues with the PC version of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Capcom continued the good news train with announcing this weekend that they would finally get all versions of the game aligned so that event quests and other content would be available at the same time. Ever since the PC version released back in August 2018, there's been a content delay of at least a few weeks between it and the consoles. With Title Update 3 (coming sometime April 2020), that'll all be a thing of the past.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has yet to receive a release date, but the newest trailer (below) does an impeccable job of showcasing the warm, family-friendly fun that comes with LEGO; both the games and the plastic toys themselves. Although the trailer is light on gameplay, the finished product will likely be full of memorable moments to be had as it will encompass the main nine Star Wars films in digital plastic form across PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 when it comes out later in 2020.
If you’ve been waiting for an update to your favorite Hell-ravaging shooter from the 1990’s, now is your time! Whether you prefer 1993 original DOOM or its 1994 sequel, DOOM II, both games have been re-released on modern consoles and received a new quality-of-life update that brings the framerate up to a smooth, modern 60 frames per second (FPS). Along with this aesthetic change, the update has brought the ability to quick save your progress and play community-created content and add-ons. This content is available now wherever you own the DOOM and DOOM II re-releases.
The Co-Opticrew has resumed its on-again, off-again romance with the number three this weekend. What do we see in this number, specifically? Maybe it's those luscious curves, or perhaps that irresistible symmetry. Regardless, we simply can't get enough (for the weekend, anyway).
There is a third entry in the Cook, Serve, Delicious series - appropriately named Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! - making its way onto the PC in just a couple weeks via Early Access on Steam and GOG.com. The title will eventually see a full release on that platform as well as Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, but if you just can't wait to man your own food truck and start cooking with a buddy, then you'll want to set a reminder on your device of choice for January 29, 2020.
