Look, pinball RPGs are pretty much a dime a dozen these days. You can't throw a rock without hitting some pinball game that features archetypal fantasy heroes knocking around fantasy environments, casting spells, and thwarting skeletons and goblins and such. Still, Rollers of the Realm: Reunion promises one extra ingredient that will make it stand out in the crowded pinball RPG genre: local co-op. Now we're talking!
Tooth and Tail is a real time strategy game set in an eastern European anthropomorphic rodent revolution. The team at Pocketwatch Games previously stole our hearts with Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine, and they are back with their take on ‘Popcorn RTS’. Pocketwatch has removed many of the barriers of entry for the genre such as a rel...
Early on in Halo Wars 2, I kept getting the feeling that I had lived this all before in an almost dream-like way. I played through campaign mission after mission, trying to shake the feeling and find my 'Ah-ha!' moment that would set the game apart, letting me tell my friends and associates of the special moments I wanted to share with...
For Tabletop Co-Op this month, we are taking another look at a game we have covered previously.

Boss Baddie's Really Big Sky is a twitch-based shooter designed for the modern gamer. You know, they say that, but when you sit down with the game you won't be able to stop thinking about the mid-80s and how you spent all those quarters on Gradius and R-Type.
For the most part, Epic Games has been a pretty quiet developer for some time now. Since the release of Gears of War Judgment last year and some entries in the Infinity Blade series, we haven't heard much from the company after this. What happened to the development of their highly anticipated game, Fornite?
The Rainbow Six line of games has been a long established franchise spanning many years and a multitude of platforms. Originally announced in 2011, Rainbow Six: Patriots was supposed to be a current-gen game that would be released on Xbox 360, PC, and Playstation 3. Ubisoft recently revealed that they would be pushing back the game to next-gen. Tony Key, a Ubisoft marketing director, stated that that "Rainbow 6 got caught in the transition of going to next-gen and essentially we're figuring out 'well, are we making the right game for the right hardware systems?'"
Thus far, we’ve been pretty damn excited to have the explosive Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel co-op action in the palms of our hands. Unfortunately, behind the scenes of the game’s development, things aren’t going that well in terms of employment. Recently, EA confirmed that they let go its entire Visceral Montreal staff after completion of the game.
Cliff Bleszinski has been with Epic Games since he was a teenager, joining the company early on and helping create franchises like Jazz Jack Rabbit, Unreal and Gears of War. But it seems this year the winds of change are blowing through the industry. Late last month both Bioware founders left the company to pursue other interests and now "Cliffy B" is leaving Epic for a much deserved break.
Realms of Ancient War launched quietly on XBLA during a week dominated by Borderlands 2 and Torchlight 2. Is it worth tearing yourself away from those other Action RPGs? Find out in our co-op review.
Realms of Ancient War has got itself a release date! The action RPG features two player local co-op and your standard Warrior, Wizard, and Rogue classes. On paper it sounds kind of vanilla, but is looks pretty good in motion. Check out the trailer after the break. It features cooperative gameplay footage, huge area of effect spells, and some banging opera. I love damage indicators!
