Lilith, the Siren of the original Borderlands, will always hold a special place in our hearts. Come September, however, a new Siren named Maya will emerge to forge her own path in the upcoming Gearbox title, Borderlands 2. Today, we’re taking a quick look at what types of carnage she’ll be capable of within the game.
Halo 4’s fall release is quickly approaching, and online retail stores are updating their pages for in-game, pre-order bonuses for specific stores. Gathered together by All Games Beta, pictures of all of the content we’ll be seeing for preorder will come in the form of wicked weapons and awesome armor skins.
A few days ago we broke the bad news (yet again) that Inversion was being delayed to July. Turns out we were only half correct. While the game is certainly delayed til (at least) July in Europe, according to a Namco Bandai rep, the game is still on track for a June 5th release in the states. That's next week! Here's hoping.
It has been way too long since we've had a proper Ghost Recon title. Like many other Tom Clancy games, the series originated on the PC and has gone through an evolution thanks to a large console userbase. The latest title, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier, further follows the trend of integrating cool gadgetry into your arsenal, making you feel more like a Halo Spartan than a modern fighting machine.
Some of my fondest co-op memories are from my high school and college days, when some good friends and I fired up Serious Sam and played all night until the crack of dawn. Serious Sam games have always had the ability to make entire nights disappear. The frantic action paired with ridiculous over-the-top enemies is perfect for keeping a group of co-op buddies laughing for hours. This is why we think Serious Sam 3: BFE should make for a perfect co-op night.
It's patch Tuesday...for Diablo 3. Blizzard has taken down the servers, uploaded a new build, and required you to enjoy its nerfing goodness in your game. Version 1.02 of Diablo 3 includes a host of new fixes and enhancements, including some balance tweaks to character skills in what looks and sounds very MMO. Expect to see quotes like this quite often.
The team over at Critial Studio shared their first developer diary for their upcoming co-op game Dungeonland. Previously known as "The Co-Op Sheep Killing Simulator", Dungeonland is a 4 player co-op action RPG that focuses on creating a meaningful cooperative experience. The devs at Critical are designing for cooperation first and formost as they want to create a hack and slash game that gets people playing together.
Conquest of Planet Earth is an incredibly appealing game. It has a great theme, fantastic miniatures, high production values, and plenty of replay value. There are two gameplay variants included in the rules. One of them is competitive, the other cooperative, both using largely the same mechanics, but changing the overall goal. In the cooperative game, the alien armadas put aside their differences and combine forces to destroy the fierce human resistance.
Double Fine's second Kinect title, Happy Action Theater, is not a traditional game. Rather it contains 18 minigames or visualizers that play one after another while everyone in your living room jumps around and acts a fool. The lack of structure made reviewing it tough, but we still loved its support for more than two players and general insanity. The game must have sold pretty well too, as Double Fine is already at work on a sequel.
There is an English idiom that says, "I would give my right arm for that.” You must really want something to give away what is essentially the 'fun' arm for around 90% of the population; world peace, ultimate wealth, VIP access to this year's E3? One thing that I would be interested in seeing, but not enough to offer any body parts, are some new screens and artwork for the 4 player online co-op title Soul Sacrifice, coming soon to Playstation Vita.
Sure, the Harry Potter series might be finally completed, but we still can’t get enough of Hogwarts and the Harry Potter universe. Today, Warner Bros. Interactive announced a new Harry Potter Kinect title coming to Xbox 360 this fall.
Ghost Recon Future Soldier does feature the promises couch co-op gameplay, but sadly it's limited to the game's Guerilla co-op mode. This mode is a survival based mode where players fight through 50 waves of enemies. A long time ago, in a news post far far away and more recently on various online retailers it was claimed that Future Soldier supported couch co-op gameplay through its campaign. Sadly, that isn't the case.
