We really enjoyed Sacred 2: Fallen Angel last year on the PC and earlier this year on the consoles. Despite the fact the game's developer, Ascaron, has gone belly up - sales were solid enough to warrant an expansion pack called Ice and Blood.
When Nick invited me to play the newest Call of Duty: World at War Nazi Zombie map Der Riese, I was all too happy to oblige. The trouble with two-player survival games, however, is that if you're both in the same boat -- namely, the S.S. I Have No Clue -- you're not going to get very far. After several attempts to ward off the undead, we finally gave in and went in search of two more comrades in the spirit of 4-player co-op survival.
1UP has a brand new batch of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves screenshots. All this week 1UP is going to feature exclusive content and info on Naughty Dog's upcoming adventure title, which comes packed with three different cooperative modes for three players.
There's been a trend in games lately to remake older classic titles and add a modern flair, the latest of those is Arkanoid Live for the Xbox Live Arcade. With new puzzles, enemies, and co-op play - the game adds quite a bit to a familiar formula.
It's a big episode - Episode 25. I believe this graduates us from amateur to "guys who sorta know what they are doing."
The new Xbox 360 dashboard is live this morning for all to download. You'll be prompted for a system update once you boot your Xbox 360 and connect to Xbox Live.
GameSpy has a hands on preview with two of Left 4 Dead 2's campaigns. While you've heard quite a bit already about the Swamp Fever campaign, thanks to it's public playability at the San Diego Comic-Con, you haven't heard much about Parish.
Which would you like first: The good news, or the bad news? Just a few months ago, we were wowed by the amount of community support pouring out for the guys responsible for Interstellar Marines. Then, the dream of four every-day guys were unfortunately put on hold. Rafoca, one of our own, had found this upsetting message to share.
Codemasters has released a 3.5-minute video showcasing a lot of on-foot gameplay from their upcoming title Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Despite being hailed initially as a spin-off or "copy" of Bohemia Interactive's ArmA II, Dragon Rising looks to have plenty of breathing room, thanks in part to our disappointment with ArmA II's co-op, and thanks again to today's video, which we've embedded for your convenience.
Droids, Bounty Hunters, and Jedi - what more could you possibly want in a game? Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes has all these things and more in store for you, packed in one neatly stylized package. Many will agree that the best part of the prequel movies is the cartoon envisioning of the Clone Wars timeline, and Republic Heroes delivers all of the Clone Wars goodness and more - complete with co-op. Even the best Jedi never travel alone.
Sometimes we forget just how far a game and its graphics have come. When Serious Sam was launched in 2001 it looked amazing for its time. While eight years might not seem THAT long ago, in computer graphics terms thats like uncovering a piece of Renaissance art in your back yard.
Every year Microsoft holds its DreamBuildPlay contest to promote the XNA Development Kit on the PC and Xbox 360. The contest allows independent developers a chance to showcase their best work and enter for a chance to win some great prizes - including a publishing contract. We had a great tip from a member about two upcoming entries that feature cooperative play in a unique manner.
