"A Christmas Carol" - a beloved holiday classic, it's probably the best known of Charles Dickens' work. As we consider the Co-Op Holiday Gift Guide for the Nintendo Wii and DS this year, we'll tie in the games to the major events and characters of "A Christmas Carol".
After an addictive few weeks with Borderlands, the game ended up on the bottom of a pile of a ton of new fall titles. With the promises of new content on the way, I knew it was time to head back and get reacquainted with my old friend. The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned has been hyped for weeks now, promising a handful of new areas, new monsters, and almost 50 new quests. But does it deliver?
Perhaps Crackdown 2 is closer than we think? Earlier this week we got a nice in depth preview of some of the new features, and now we get a ton of new screenshots to go with it!
While Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners will be getting two brand new Resident Evil 5 episodes and a ton of costumes to play with next February and March, PC owners of the same title might have to wait. Or worse yet, they might not get it at all.
Every time a new cooperative title is announced, and we post it, the question comes up: "How many players?"
GoGamer has posted their Black Friday deals, and some of them are a total steal.
On the second day of the Co-Op Holiday Gift Guide, the Co-Optimus staff has put together for thee, some co-op recommendations for the PS3 and PSP.
We do love a good co-op beat em' up game. Soon PlayStation 3 owners will get a new game, with a classic taste called Revenge of the Wounded Dragons. Taking inspiration from titles like Double Dragon, the kung-fu title supports 2 player local co-op play.
Information seems to be rapidly coming out about the recently announced Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days.
Lego Indiana Jones 2 was released last week, to the delight of plastic block fans everywhere. The game is an excellent sequel, adding in levels based on The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as well as a co-op creation mode. All this, plus the original game's levels, too! But one thing was missing, and it's a feature we dearly love: online co-op. Couch co-op is great, but sometimes, your real life partners aren't around to bust some Nazis. According to the LucasArts Twitter feed, this problem will be fixed soon.
It's not even Black Friday, and the deals have already started. Dell is offering Left 4 Dead 2 for $20 off the normal price.
The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned should be out very very soon, and with it comes the an action packed adventure in downloadable form for Borderlands players. Gearbox has released a trailer for the content pack, which is chock full of zombie goodness. It's not only pleasing to the eye, but informative.
