Dead Space Extraction Isn't your Standard Co-Op Light-gun ShooterJuly 04th, 2009 at 8:39 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

What you see above is a screen grab from the "controls" video for Dead Space Extraction, the two player co-op title coming out for the Wii this September.  What you might not garner from the screen grab is a unique cooperative moment in the game.  

Players are required to alternate solving the puzzle on the right side of the screen, while the other player fends off waves of attackers.  This co-op moment is something not present in the single player game, and when you see it in action, you'll understand how it works.

New Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles ScreenshotsJuly 03rd, 2009 at 8:52 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

Capcom has released a fresh hot and steaming batch of screenshots for their upcoming two player co-op on rails shooter, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.  The game was announced back when Resident Evil 5 released, and is a wii exclusive title that takes players through the story of Resident Evil 2 from a slightly different gameplay style.

The game's co-op mode allows each player to control an on screen cursor to shoot up those pesky zombies, creatures, and other nasties that litter the way as you control Leon and Claire.  According to the press material, the main characters will face their own inner demons - I think that's just a code for the dilemma of releasing a mature title on the Wii.

Grandmaster Flash Spinning Records in DJ HeroJuly 02nd, 2009 at 3:17 PM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

Grandmaster Flash is one of the most influential and well known DJs ever.  Today, Activision has announced that the GMF himself is lending his voice and likeness to DJ Hero.  Many consider Flash as the father of modern DJing.

Grandmaster Flash will walk players through the game's tutorial, as well as contribute two of his tracks "Boom" and "Tap" to the game.  The DJ has also created two exclusive remixes for the game, Grandmaster Flash’s Herbie Hancock "Rockit" vs. N.E.R.D. "Lapdance" and Grandmaster Flash "Here Comes My DJ" vs. Gary Numan "Cars" mixes.

You and your co-op partner are going to have to fight over who gets to be Mr. Flash when the game releases this fall.

Dead Space Originally Had Co-OpJuly 01st, 2009 at 7:59 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 
Hold still...there's a fly on you.

It's already known that Dead Space Extraction for the Wii will contain a two player cooperative mode.  But what isn't known is the fact that the original Deadspace had a cooperative mode as well, at least, until it was cut like the limbs of the infected.

Glen Schofield, the General Manager for Visceral Games (which was EA Redwood Shores), stated the following on EA Podcast Episode 2:

“We actually had co-op for about three/four months in Dead Space. In the original one, we had it running and we’re playing it and we had a little team developing it and it was actually pretty cool.”

Ghostbusters: The Videogame for the Wii Co-Op ReviewJune 24th, 2009 at 1:27 PM by Katrina "ShadokatRegn" Pawlowski

By allowing a complete re imaging for the Wii release of a game, Atari did something much different with Ghostsbusters than what we normally see with games. Co-optimus.com was interested to see what those differences were between the Ghostbusters releases from a co-op specific point of view. Since we've already reviewed the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Ghostbusters, all that was left was the radically different looking and controlling Wii version. Does Ghostbusters on the Wii do co-op as well as the Xbox 360 version, or perhaps, even better?

DJ Hero Priced and Possibly DatedJune 18th, 2009 at 9:03 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

Are you ready to spin me right round, baby right round?  It's almost time to grab some vinyl, scratch, cross fade, and glow stick the night away.  Both Gamestop and Amazon have listed the prices for the upcoming DJ Hero game with the accompanying turn table.  

The verdict?  $120.

Seems a bit high for a single instrument title if you ask me.  It'll make finding a co-op partner that much harder as well, I think a lot of people are going to be reluctant to pick up the game and controller at that price.  Currently,  DJ Hero is listed for a October 27th release date on the 360, PS3, Wii and PS2.

Mad Dog McCree Gun Slingers Pack Shoots It's Way on the Wii-WagonJune 17th, 2009 at 8:53 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you 1992.  It was a land filled with these new fangled things called "CD-ROM" drives.  And with them came the advent of Live Action Video Video Games.  One series of games found it's way not only onto consoles, but to the arcades.  The western themed game was called Mad Dog McCree - and you had to do everything in your power to stop him.

Some 17 years later, the series is back, and it's been freshened up with co-op play for four players on the Wii!  All three games are included in the $20 bundle; Mad Dog McCree, Mad Dog 2: The Lost Gold and The Last Bounty Hunter.

Co-Op Release Alert: GhostbustersJune 16th, 2009 at 8:15 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

   

It's time to strap on our unlicensed nuclear accelerators, and clear our minds as Ghostbusters the Videogame hits the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PS2 this week.  There's also a PC version coming out, which we originally thought had co-op, but reports are coming in that's simply not the case.  

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game support a four player online co-op mode that's separate from the story.  The Wii and PS2 versions support a 2 player split screen mode that follows the story.  

On a similar note, this week is the 25th Anniversary of the first movie, which is now available on Blu-Ray.  Be sure to check out our Single Player and Co-Op Impressions of the game, with a full review coming soon.
