Ever wanted to dive into the bureaucratic world of red tape, lobbying, and endless debates?  Well then, do the developers of Dungeon Defenders II have an offer for you!  Trendy Entertainment announced on October 21st an expansion to the Defense Council, “an advisory board that allows players with an interest in the development of Dungeon Defenders II to provide early, focused feedback directly to the development team.”  Presumably in an attempt to phase out the bourgeoisie “Old Money” types, Trendy is allowing political aspirants to buy their way into the Defense Council on a first-come, first-serve basis, as a limited number of seats are available.  These nouveau riche upstarts will have access to a number of perks besides influence on the development of Dungeon Defenders II, including:

The Midlands, a magical place full of heavy industry and the UK's second largest city.  A great place to visit, but last time I looked Far Cry 4 was not set in Birmingham.  My mistake, this new trailer for the game highlights some of the locations of The midlands of Kyrat. 

The latest Nintendo Direct released has outlined a ton of new and returning features coming to the Wii U verison of Super Smash Bros, 50 big ones to be exact. Minus the narration done by the in-game Announcer, Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U has a bunch of co-op options for up to two players to dive right into.

Devil’s Dare could easily be written off as just another beat ‘em up. It has its fun moments, it does an excellent job of emulating 16-bit era graphics, and it reminds of you such-and-such game “back in the day.” Spend a little more time with the game, however, and you will find more depth than you would have thought po...

Sunset Overdrive launches today on the Xbox One. Hopefully you've already taken the time to read our written review of the game, detailing both the single player and co-op content. But Sunset Overdrive is a very visual game, it's exploding with color and style and while words might adequately describe the technical merits of a game, seeing the game in motion paints a more accurate picture of its glamour and chaos.

When Beethoven wrote Moonlight Sonata in 1801, this video is exactly what he had in mind. Techland is rolling out the Dying Light zombie flicks in preparation for Halloween, releasing a few short videos that are filled with the kinds of things you would expect from a game about murderizing zombies in broad daylight.

While it's probably too soon to make a joke comparing A World of Keflings to ebola, those little buggers sure are starting to spread. They began on XBLA, moved to Windows 8, and now they're heading to Wii U. Developer NinjaBee recently announced a firm release date for the Wii U incarnation: November 13th, exactly six months before ebola jokes become fair game!

Few games enjoy the longevity of Killing Floor. Released in 2009, Tripwire Interactive's "co-op survival horror" enjoys relevancy in no small part due to Developer support. Killing Floor enjoys updates and events throughout the year, and the spookiest holiday can't be forgotten. For the second year running, KF is unleashing the Hillbilly ZEDs on your British Special Forces until November 3rd. The Redneck-themed mutants/clones are far wackier than your standard bunch of zombies; but this particular horror is a double feature.

Deathtrap is now available on Steam early access so you could be out there zapping enemies with up to 4 friends right now.  Not sure what Deathtrap is, or how good the game looks?  Check out the new trailer that has more gameplay and traps than a Saw related themepark.

If you've been thinking about pulling the trigger on an Xbox One, you might want to wait just another week. Microsoft has announced that they'll be running a special holiday season promotion on Xbox Ones - $50 off any Xbox One console or bundle starting November 2nd.

We've got a handful of co-op releases this week, with one standout AAA game that we've already reviewed. What else is on tap? A fresh coat of paint on a 15 year old game and a new version of an odd yearly franchise.

Sunset Overdrive from Insomniac Games is their first title since the multiplatform and co-op friendly FUSE hit a few years back. FUSE was the first Insomniac game to not be exclusive to a Sony platform and their next game, Sunset Overdrive is now an exclusive game on a Microsoft platform. How times have changed. The game is an open world actio...
