For The King's unique blend of JRPGs, strategy games, and roguelikes has intrigued the staff at Co-Optimus to no end. Fortunately for us, there's a new batch of free DLC coming later this month, so all that time spent staring at the game, mouths agape, will hopefully come in handy.

Fatshark Games' time as developer of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 (as well as its predecessor) has mostly been forward-thinking.  Since releasing the game in March of this year, the Stockholm-based studio has sought ways to enhance their first person bashing simulator through the addition of new stages or unique items.  This time, though, their inspiration has come from the distant year of 2015.

Aces of the Luftwaffe - Squadron is receiving some new content today, in the form of new levels, six new bosses, and enhanced cooperative play. The DLC is called Nebelgechwader and follows an alternative view of the events of the base game. 

The cold and often rainy days of November are perfect for sitting inside, sipping a cup of hot tea or coffee, and getting in some quality gaming time. For this month of November, we have content updates for SWTOR and DC Universe Online and a new way to play LOTRO. Jedi Under Siege Announced for December Bioware recently announced that the 5...

The Steam client is constantly getting updated, and with it, usually comes updates to the related services. The latest update to the Steam client provides enhancements for those folks that have a Steam Link in their home, or more specifically, have two.

Crackdown is hands down one of the all time best co-op experiences I've ever had. Climbing the tower with a buddy, trying to make the biggest wreckage possible by piling cars, or simply speed running to collect orbs - it bar none set the open world standard for co-op sandbox action. Now it's yours for free on Xbox One or Xbox 360. 

The results are in, and it turns out the Co-Opticrew is violently opposed to even remotely showing any bias towards a single game, at least based on our weekend plans.  Maybe it's for the best, though, as we'll now have all sorts of fun, unique anecdotes to share on Monday.  If our staff wasn't based all over the world (and if water coolers were still a thing that people used), we'd be standing around them the whole day.

No matter what criticism can be leveraged at ARK: Survival Evolved, you certainly can't say the game isn't unique.

The Sennheiser GSP 500 is a high-end headset from Sennheiser, a manufacturer beloved by audiophiles. Released earlier this summer, we got our hands on one recently for a full review.

Anthem still has another few months before it's ripe for the picking, but BioWare has been showing off clips of the game in action since its announcement in 2017.

Last night we dusted off the arcade machine, pulled out a pocket full of (virtual) quarters and checked out the latest nostalgia release from Capcom. The Capcom Beat Em Up Bundle is a beat em up fan's dream featuring seven classic Capcom games, two of which, have never been released on a console or PC.

It's been planned for sometime, in fact, Epic Games have said that Fortnite's "Save the World" co-op mode would go free to play to match the success of the Battle Royale mode by the end of 2018. But in the latest blog post from the game's developer, it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer till more folks can get their hands on the co-op play without dropping some hard earned cash.

We're officially deep into Extra Life 2018, and you just know the Co-Opticrew is getting in on that action.  Specifically, Eric and the gang will be streaming a plethora of co-op games on Saturday, so if you're into that sort of thing, check them out through the link below.  Between Extra Life and GDQ, it's really encouraging to see that the gaming community can come together and cause some real, no-joke good in the world.

As part of Blizzard's (and Activision's) BlizzCon celebration, the company has announced that Destiny 2 will be free on PC for a limited time. You'll need to redeem your code for the game by November 18th, after that, it'll go back to normal price. Existing players will receive an exclusive emblem not available anywhere else. 

Earthfall and its four player online co-op first graced our presence back in July of this year, and the first person shooter has been churning out minor improvements ever since.

It's only been a few weeks since Strange Brigade's first DLC mission was plucked from The Great DLC Tree and dropped into our waiting mouths.  We've barely had time to digest all of its nutrients, and yet Rebellion Developments is already holding out another fresh batch of DLC for us to consume.

It's been a hot (Get it? Like in Hell?) minute since we last covered Helldivers, but Arrowhead Game Studios certainly hasn't forgotten about it, as they've put out a new update celebrating Liberty Day 2018.

A certain Western Video Game has been dumped into the gaming populace's eager hands this weekend.  While the Co-Opticrew hasn't fully latched on yet, we are certainly nibbling furtively, unaware of the impending hook.  Give it a week or two.

QC Games unveiled their debut title, Breach, a couple months ago during this year's Gamescom. Billed as a third-person, co-op action RPG, there weren't a lot of details about what the game actually was at first. After getting my hands on it for a bit, I can see why. This might be one of the hardest titles I've ever had to describe while also being one of the most fun.

I'm told that in space, no one can hear you scream, which is probably for the best given the latest update coming to No Man's Sky.

Aww, yeah!  You all know what time it is! 

The HyperX Cloud Earbuds address a niche in the market: people who want gaming peripherals for mobile devices. While targeted towards Switch and phone/tablet gaming, these earbuds also work in PS4 controllers and any other device that has a 3.5mm CTIA standard connector. The Cloud Earbuds are minimalist in their design, featuring an in-line ...

The Co-Opticrew just can't seem to untangle itself from Bungie's wacky sci-fi shooter.  Maybe its loot-based tendrils are wrapped too tightly around us, or perhaps it's because we honestly aren't trying too hard.  Either way, a decent portion of our staff have their minds firmly focused on engrams, light levels, and anachronistic dance moves.

Ah, capitalism, the only economic system based around picking yourself up by your bootstraps, earning the sweat of your brow, and things such as.
