EA has released an Indie Bundle on Steam which features six titles for the low price of $21. The normal asking price for all six games would total almost $70. Best of all, five of the six include cooperative features - score!
Wednesday has come and gone - did you pick up either of the co-op friendly titles released on XBLA? It might be worth downloading the trail versions of Awesomenauts and Fable Heroes whilst you yearn for the definitive co-op review from Co-Optimus. Whilst we wait no one said we have to be bored, check out Read More for the launch trailers for both games.
The PlayStation 3 exclusive space shooter, Starhawk, is coming out next week. It's a third person shooter that features space combat, mechs, energy weapons, orbital building drops, and twangy music. It also features a co-op survival mode for up to four players.
Do you fancy yourself a digital version of Simo Häyhä? Do you spend most of your FPS time behind a scope, obliterating any enemy soldiers foolish enough to come under your crosshairs? Then Sniper Elite V2 may be the game for you. The WWII title is a hybrid of third-person shooting and first-person sniping. Its big selling point (other than the online co-op modes) are the gory X-ray kills, because sometimes a fine red mist just isn't good enough. Check out the launch trailer to see what I mean.
I know, I know. Most of you took your copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and threw them straight in the toilet as soon as that Black Ops 2 trailer hit last night. Never mind the fact that MW3 has a ridiculous amount of new content on the way. It's not just you. Take a look at the Call of Duty website. The current edition of the franchise has been reduced to a mere afterthought. Speaking of afterthougts, PC gamers are finally going to get MW3 DLC this month. Timely.
Orion: Dino Beatdown, the co-op-centric first-person dinosaur shooter, debuts on Steam in just a few more days. To help train the next generation of dinosaur hunters, indie developer Spiral Game Studios has released one last video documentary to tease the game before its release. Give it a watch (or simply read on) to find out about the game's worlds and the repitllian beasties that will inhabit them.
After hearing the announcement of the upcoming prequel, God of War: Ascension, we found ourselves looking at a video of a God of War multiplayer mode for the first time and hoping for some co-op love.
Nine years after Max Payne 2, the iconic character is coming back sans the scowl. Rockstar Games is releasing Max Payne 3 next week on the 360, PS3 and PC and with it comes the first time the series features multiplayer. Like the last big Rockstar game, Red Dead Redemption, it appears Max Payne 3 will be adding a co-op mode via DLC shortly after release.
Indie game Nekro has successfully reached its funding goal on Kickstarter, but with less than two days to go, there's still a chance to influence some content in this game. The concept of Nekro is simple - play as an evil necromancer and wreak havoc on the world.
The weekly sales on PSN and XBLA are amongst the highlights of my gaming week. What will appear this time; a selection of co-op friendly titles for next to nothing, or some overpriced DLC reduced to slightly less overpriced? Admittedly some of the weekly sales are less emphatic than others, but do you know what is a bargain? A game that is permanently reduced. This has just happened to Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, now yours for 800 Microsoft Points, or as I like to call it - the price that all download games should be in the first place.
Right on schedule, the trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been revealed. The setting? The future. Your arsenal? Lots of toys including quad copters, giant mech like tanks, and of course plenty of guns. Did I mention the horses? Oh yeah - in the future everybody rides horses.
Just two weeks away before Diablo III’s release day, scheduled for May 15th, Blizzard has continued to reveal character class information on their website. Next in the sequence comes the Wizard character class, having yet another epic trailer aimed to get you even more pumped to play
