It's our first sports game review of the site, and up for grabs is Madden NFL 10. The game promises an online co-op mode for two players. We promise our review isn't filled with too many football cliches, but really, how could we not at least use some?
I've been hitting the gridiron, almost nightly, in Madden NFL 10's co-op mode. We'll be having a full review of that later this week, but until then you'll want to check out GameTrailer's coverage of the mode.
Members of the Madden team go in detail about some of the tweaks they made for the two player co-op, special cameras, unique achievements, and co-op moves.
Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, a weekly piece that talks about industry stories that may or may not be related to co-op gaming.
The stories for this week:
- Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo Released
- Brutal Legend Lawsuit Settled
- StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Delayed to 2010
- Dragon Age Delayed to Early November, PS3 Version out Later in November
- Madden Holiday This Week
Somewhere down the field, your buddy runs free.
With the inclusion of an online co-op mode in this years Madden game, comes the inclusion of co-op Achievements. Interestingly enough, the PlayStation 3 trophies for the game are entirely different and none are co-op specific.
The good news for gamerscore lovers are the three achievements total 165 points total, and with the exception of one of them - should be fairly easy to complete.
He just wants to share, Co-op style.
Hut, hut, hike! ShadokatRegn passes to BApenguin, Touchdown Co-optimus! After 9 installments, Madden NFL 10 will finally have online co-op! Although the spirit of football is competitive, it's refreshing to finally see co-op open up in a popular sports game. Game developers talk about the decision to add co-op to the long-running Madden franchise, emphasizing playing with others and having fun instead of competition with the usual trash talk.
