Are you a glutton for punishment? Our Co-Optimus staff sure is, and that's why we are very excited to hear that developer FromSoftware has finally released the first of three Dark Souls II DLC's, Crown of the Sunken King, today! As the very first portion of The Lost Crowns DLC trilogy that will be coming to Dark Souls II in the comin...
Even though Sacred 3 launches in just two week, Deep Silver has revealed yet another CGI trailer for the game. The "Fighter CGI Trailer" is meant to focus on the co-operative aspect of the game, increasing your kill counts as a mini competition between players.
If you've been playing Sniper Elite 3, you've no doubt seen a fair share of Nazi organs being destroyed in slow-mo. And, let's be honest, if you've gotta watch a bullet liquefy someone's vital organs, it might as well be a Nazi. But how often do you get to covertly waste fascists in the personal defense of Master Politician / Boozehound, Sir Winston Churchill?
Co-op play is usually an afterthought in RTS games. The Command and Conquer series may have flirted with co-op campaigns in the past, but normally our beloved humans versus robot play is relegated to a skirmish mode. Well, the folks down at TyrZ got fed up playing through story missions by themselves, and produced a co-op Campaign mod for the original Starcraft.
Warface may have been on out the PC for quite some time, in fact, it was released in Russian territories almost two years ago. It ran on a new platform for Crytek called GFace, with a closed beta in EU and NA territories on the PC. Shortly afterwards it was followed by an actual closing of the game as they retooled and rebooted the service. After relaunching, it also found itself on Xbox 360 where it launched as one of the few free to play titles on that console.

Sometimes, you come across a game you're not sure how it came to be, but you're glad it happened. In this case, a successful Kickstarter campaign gave us the gift of Spintires. Spintires is a driving game where the primary goal is to not get your vehicle stuck in the mud while trying to brave Russian wetlands and deliver logs. The terrain deformation is just about the best I've ever seen, and trust me, you're going to fall victim to the mud early and often. Luckily, you can winch your way out, or even get a "gentle" push from other players.
If you haven't gotten in on the Destiny beta that launched yesterday, now is your chance. Courtesy of Bungie we've got a handful of codes for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in all regions to give away. But you have to be quick - they are first come first serve.
