Just recently, they announced that September 15th will see the launch of the remaining three.

Gather up your allies and prepare to take on the forces of h-e-double hockey sticks itself in Ares Games' Hell Warders. This four player, third-person action title will challenge you to battle off waves of demons and keep the Nexus safe by deploying towers and battling foes mano-a-diablo.

When Ulf Andersson, co-founder of Overkill Software, left his previous dev studio and founded 10 Chambers Collective back in 2015, he had one goal in mind: making an FPS title with a heavy emphasis on co-op. After a long time of teases, that game, GTFO, has been revealed... sort of.

If you're only somewhat interested in slaying oni with your friends, then Koei Tecmo has a deal for you. Toukiden 2: Free Alliances arrived yesterday for the PlayStation 4 and Vita and it allows you to check out some of what the full game has to offer as a kind of free-to-play version. In this case, it means you can only play a few missions each day before you run out of "Stamina" and have to wait for it to regenerate.

Live streaming is all the rage these days and there are a variety of services, like Twitch, YouTube Gaming, and Smashcast, that allow gamers to watch others or show off their own gaming skills to others. Microsoft has been working on their own service, originally called "Beam," that's gotten a major overhaul along with a new name.

While there's still time to grab both Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for free this month thanks to Microsoft's "Games with Gold" program, you can start looking forward to next month when Assassin's Creed 3 "goes gold."

With E3 right round the corner, a number of studios attending are releasing videos teasing or covering what they will have on display for the show, come June 13-15.

Forget the usual opening text here, that song is in your head now, so just sing with me "doo doo doo DOOOOOOOOOOOO! doo doo doo DOOOOOOOOOOO!! AHHHH! AHHH!"

The next entry in the Far Cry series made its worldwide debut today. Plenty of rumors had pegged Far Cry 5 to take place within the borders of the U.S. this time, Montana specifically, and early teaser images hinted at the primary antagonist being a religious cult. With the official trailer out there now, all that has been proven true but there's some particularly good news for us: the entire campaign can be played with friend.

Are you ready for the baddest buckled hat you've ever seen? I hope so, cause Victor Vran is making his console debut next week, and then a week later is continuing to slay monsters with his friend Lloyd Kaufman as he rocks out to some Motörhead in the Victor Vran: Overkill Edition.
