For a kid who's all bound up, Isaac certainly seems to get around. Afterbirth, a big expansion to The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, has been in the works for some time, promising over 100 hours of added playtime with 1,000 new rooms to explore. With an October 30th release date, we're eager to see just what sort of twisted, bloody things we'll be haunted by for the following few weeks.
Looks like How to Survive taught us a lesson. Namely, how to survive. We did such a good job surviving, now we're off to New Orleans to do it again. How to Survive 2 was recently announced as a Steam Early Access release for early October, and so far we like what we hear. Because there's four player co-op, you see.
PC MMO, WildStar, from Carbine Studios has joined hands with NCSOFT to announce that on September 29th, 2015 the game will finally release in its free-to-play form.
In case you were worried about a shortage of cooperative beat 'em ups on the market, Rake in Grass has got you covered. Fresh out of the oven is Rampage Knights, a randomized dungeon crawling action game that lets you and a buddy explore and fight from morning 'til night with more items, spells and enemies than you can shake a sword at.
Hey there! Enoch here, your guide to all things Weekend in Gaming. The most obvious choice for our government-mandated vacation time is Destiny's new "The Taken King" expansion. Thankfully, some of our staff isn't legally insane, so we're also playing virtual hockey, sneaking into military compounds, and and piloting poorly designed space stations. Check it out, and be sure to catch F.A.L.C.O. tonight at 9PM CDT!
It's been a while since we've posted any videos, but Friday Awesomely Live Co-Op is still live (nearly) every Friday. Our two most recent successful streams include episode 6, where the F.A.L.C.O. team finished off Trine 2 and played a bit of the Goblin Menace DLC, and episode 7.1, where we massacred brain-hungry zombies in Zonaco.
One trend I really don't mind seeing is game genres taking place in outer space. Once the sole property of sci-fi releases, just about any title can relocate to the middle of the black without having to slap a science fiction label on the cover. Rogue Continuum keeps the tradition going with a cooperative roguelike planet-crawler shmup that just hit Steam Early Access.
If there's one thing I could do just about all day, it's watch the videos/trailers that Paradox puts out for Magicka 2. Sure, there's something new they're trying to communicate here (a new element type and ice/steam elements now combine in the spell combo bar), but I mean, it's more fun to just watch!
Outside of the odd MMO, it's not often that players get to experience the Star Wars universe cooperatively. I suppose this makes a certain kind of sense when you consider that "wars" is in the franchise name, but nevertheless, the desire to blast Droidekas, Sith, Rebel Scum, etc. with a buddy was starting to reach critical mass. That was, until Star Wars Battlefront was announced to have a dedicated two player co-op mode.
In the realm of twin-stick shooters, I figured I'd seen it all at this point. Then we got tipped off to a little game called Pixel Galaxy, which arrives on Steam today, September 18. The title is billed as a "non-shooting 'shmup," which seems to mean that you will be dodging enemy bullets, but you won't be firing back.
The annual Tokyo Game Show (TGS) started up earlier this week and while much of what's been seen/discussed there has either been seen at E3 or Gamescom, there's always a little something new. Like, say, Dark Souls 3 getting a release date. Oh yes!
While the future of Mega Man is unclear, that's not stopping others from looking to the blue bomber for inspiration. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Batterystaple Games' has just pushed their tribute title, appropriately called 20XX, into beta on Steam Early Access. We spoke with Chris King, the lead programmer and d...
