This week we looked at Conan Chop Chop in our weekly Monday evening co-op stream. Mike, Jason, Locke and Nick put on their loin clothes, strapped on their swords, and slaughtered the baddies of Hyboria together. But this isn't a dark and gritty game, instead it's colorful, goofy, and over the top.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the most exciting Kirby games in years. That's partially because of the game's beautiful, ruined new world and partially because of its excellent 2-player local co-op. However, the main reason The Forgotten Land is so exciting is because it introduces Kirby's best-ever form: Carby. What's a Carby? Check out this screenshot gallery for a good look.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is now available on Nintendo Switch. This installment of the Kirby series switches from 2.5D gameplay to full 3D platforming. Despite the change in perspectives, the game still manages to include 2-player local co-op. However, co-op play is not unlocked from the start. Read our quick and simple guide to learn just how a...
Welcome back to Beyond Co-Op Reviews, our critical look at games that don't feature co-op modes....
Neon Giant's The Ascent made waves when it launched on Xbox Game Pass last year. It was mostly notable for its detailed cyberpunk world and 4-player online co-op, though the launch version was awfully buggy as well. Now, PlayStation gamers have a chance to jack in and maybe deal with some bugs because The Ascent has just launched on PlayStation 4 and 5.
I've been fortunate enough to have a steady stream of PC gaming mice to check out, the last ones have been from ROCCAT. The Kone Pro and Burst Pro have been my daily mice for the last few months and I've been pretty satisfied with the quality and brand overall. The latest entry in ROCCAT's lineup is a return to the mouse that started it all - the ROCCAT Kone XP, a take on the Kone shape which is a derivative of the Intellimouse Explorer design.
Rebellion's Sniper Elite series is the most venerable and successful series of sniping games out there. Heck, one of my first reviews for our site was 2012's Sniper Elite V2. Time flies in real life, but not so much in Sniper Elite 5, which, like previous entries, takes place during World War II. The new game sees series protagonist Karl Fairburne fighting to stop the Nazi's Operation Kraken. Xbox, PlayStation, and PC gamers will get the chance to get kraken when Sniper Elite 5 launches on May 26.
The recently released Egret II Mini arcade cabinet includes Rastan, Taito’s classic fantasy-themed action-platformer. The game’s two sequels, however, didn’t make the cut. Thankfully, all three Rastan games are available on the iiRcade home arcade platform. In fact, Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga Episode III just released on iiRcade. ...
Dawn of the Monsters, the first real kaiju themed beat ‘em up, has just launched on consoles and PC. It’s a titanic occasion as players can finally become giant monsters and robots and stomp through cities in 2-player local co-op. We spoke with Alex Rushdy, CEO at 13AM Games and Creative Director of Dawn of the Monsters, about the game&...
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Gearbox and 2K's quirky fantasy-themed Borderlands spinoff, is set to debut on March 25. We've got plenty of new details to share about the game, but the most exciting one has to be that the PlayStation version of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will support crossplay with other platforms, something that Borderlands 3 on PlayStation does not do at present. Xbox and PC will support crossplay as well, so crossplay co-op adventures are in the cards for everybody.
The Taito Egret II Mini arcade cabinet has just launched in Japan; preorders for the non-Japanese version are scheduled to ship in May. With the English version still available to preorder from Strictly Limited and Games Rocket, fans of classic Taito arcade games have some time left to pick up a cabinet and accessories. Prices for the Egret II Mini start at $230, though. They're not cheap! We've got a Japanese model, so we'll show you what you're getting when you buy Taito's mini arcade cabinet.
Ever since the golden age of arcade games, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games have been known for their cooperative multiplayer. Well, not every TMNT game features co-op, but the brilliant arcade games and many of the home games do allow players to team up as the turtle brothers. Konami developed most of those classics, and now 13 of them ...
