The folks at Misfits Attic have been in the festive mood and decided to create some holiday themed DLC for A Virus Named TOM, their four player co-op action puzzler. The DLC adds a snowy effect to the game as well as a good ol fashion scavenger hunt.
5 Dead Grunts, 4 Screaming Men, 3 Active Reloads, 2 Total Wars and a Chainsaw in a Locust's Knee. Nothing says Holiday Greetings than 12 festive days of absolute violence. This is exactly what the team at Epic are offering owners of Gears of War 3 with the '12 Days of Gearmas' - a dozen special events.
It's Christmas this weekend and that means plenty of time with family and friends for a lot of you. It also means the perfect opportunity to get in some quality couch co-op gaming! Here's what the staff is going to be playing this weekend during their time off. We hope everyone has a great holiday and we'll see you back here on Monday!
Nothing brings holiday cheer more than a shotgun, a sexy Santa outfit and a hard rock version of your favorite Christmas song. The folks over at Croteam have put out a video of the multiplayer Santa skin available for free in Serious Sam 3: BFE in a crazy 16 player co-op match set to "Carol of the Bells." Ding-F-ing-Dong.
Sam Stone is feeling the holiday spirit. All that running around in the desert has made him miss the snow, candy canes, and shiny wrapped presents. But Sam has a present of his own, in the form of a 16 barrel grenade launcher armed to the teeth for Mental's hordes.
While the holidays are wrapping up for some, they are just beginning for others. If you still have folks you need buy presents for, Co-Optimus has your back with a few gift ideas in a variety of ways. Not only do we have our holiday gift guides for co-op gamers, but we have some other exclusive merchandise that can make your family or friends feel truly special.
Today is Thanksgiving in North America. It's a holiday about family, friends, eating and togetherness. Most importantly it's a holiday about giving thanks for the things in life we may take for granted. We give thanks today for co-op gaming as well as the hobby that we all love to enjoy.
With only a few days left in 2009, it's time once again to look back at what an awesome year it was. There were plenty of great co-op games to play, brand new franchises were born, and tons of great content was made available for games. All in all, looking back, it almost feels like there was more gaming than one person could digest.
The holidays are here and most of the Co-Opticrew are enjoying a well deserved break spending time with their families - and hopefully - playing some co-op games with them. We hope everyone else will do the same!
Here at Co-Optimus we realize the holidays can be stressful, insane, and otherwise distressing. So, in the spirit of sharing we'd like you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the Lizard of Odd's brilliant rendition of the holiday song "My Favorite Things" in the realm of Left 4 Dead 2. Oh, and don't forget to join us for our Left 4 Dead 2 Co-Op night on Thursday!
Nothing says Happy Holidays quite like headless zombies, boomer bile, and lots and lots of sugar. These Left 4 Dead 2 cookies are made of wholesome gingerbread and make the perfect gift for the zombie slayer in your house this year.
Today is Thanksgiving in North America. It's a holiday about family, friends, and togetherness. Most importantly it's a holiday about giving thanks for the things in life we may take for granted. So to celebrate we thought we'd give thanks for co-op gaming, and the staff each weighed in on the subject.
