Resident Evil: Revelations will be hitting the 3DS in less than a month, and no one has a clue as to what's going on in this game. There have been rumors of boats, ooze, terrorist attacks, and floating cities. Today we have three videos which won't explain one damn thing, but they look cool. Enjoy.
It seems like only yesterday that a colleague of mine asked if we should delete the Ghost Recon Future Soldier PC entry, since well, we were pretty sure it was never going to happen. I have a natural talent for deleting things (especially my own work), so I obliged him. The very instant I hit the "OBLITERATE GAME FROM DATABASE" button I got a memo from the boss man. We had just received a press release from Ubisoft. GRFS was back on for the PC, and I was saddled with painful hours of re-entering the game into the database. I don't want to name names, but it was Paul's fault. (Don't worry Paul, we have a new new guy coming on soon. Then I can start blaming him for all my typoos.)
Are you looking to add a little Magick to your in-game life? If so, join us this Friday, January 13th at 8PM Central, for a co-op romp through the world of Magicka. If Steam didn't force-feed you this game yet, you should really consider picking it up before Friday. This $10 title earned a score of 4.5/5 and a runner-up position in our 2011 Co-Op Game of the Year Awards, so you can be sure it is well worth the purchase.
Do you know what my favorite number is? Three, because it sounds like free! Starhawk is an upcoming shooter that will have a 4 player co-op mode. If that is not enough goodness for you, Senior Producer Harvard Bonin has promised loads of DLC - some of which will be free.
$15 bucks is a little steep, even for a great co-op game like Dungeon Defenders. Have you been waiting to take the plunge? Well all your hard work (sitting idly by and doing nothing) has paid off. Dungeon Defenders is 800 MSP ($10) on the XBLA. It's part of the LIVE Arcade's Deal of the Week, so you'll have until January 17th to make up your mind.
You're at the dentist's office, perusing a three-year-old copy of Highlights. You're crushing the Hidden Pictures puzzle, easily spotting items that have yet to be circled. Your total dominance of the children's magazine brings back memories of the previous night's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 shellacking you took at the hands of what were clearly uncouth, cheating adolescents. Their wicked laughter causes you to shudder, drawing stares from other waiting patients. Hanging your head in shame, you pause for inward reflection, knowing you were bested by boorish children half you age.
Diablo has paved the way for the Action RPG genre and Blizzard is recognizing this legacy this week with the Diablo 15 year anniversary celebration. Make sure to check out the extended retrospective video that is an extensive video covering the whole story of Diablo, the evolution of the series, and the timeline up until now. The video will have fans of the series bleeding with nostalgia and if you have yet to play a Diablo game, it is a great way to catch up on the 15 years of lore that you missed.
This past weekend I packed my bags and headed south to Washington, DC to check out Magfest - a festival that celebrates videogames and videogame music. The show has plenty of stuff for folks to do including a free play arcade with many classic cabinets (including my favorite Moon Patrol). There's also a LAN party area, table top gaming area, and plenty of independent artists selling their wares.
Shoot Many Robots is a game we're excited about around Co-Optimus for many reasons. Sure the game is going to have some kick ass four player co-op action with some insane items to use as you destroy wave after wave of mechanical enemies in your path. But it's got Billy and friends and that alone is reason enough to get excited.
Co-optimus really enjoyed the recent 2D platformer Rayman Origins, but it lacked a certain something; ultraviolence. I did not grow up on a diet of video nasties and shocking images just to play a game a child could watch. I want blood, guts, chainsaws and viscera. Thankfully, as this new gameplay video shows, Shank 2 will provide all my grue based needs.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is sure to be an awesome take on the Aliens franchise, with its authentic design and 4-player online co-op. But you know what would make it even better? A Collector's Edition, that's what. Thanks to French gaming site GamesKyo, we now have a detailed picture of the Collector's Edition contents. Hope you like big boxes!
Praise the Sun! We're nine days into 2012 and we haven't done a Dark Souls article yet? Truly it is the end of days. It's about time I fix that. Over the weekend I received an email from a Co-Optimus community member concerning a petition to port Dark Souls to PC. That's a mighty fine idea. The more people playing Dark Souls, the better. (I'm hoping for a sequel titled Darker Demon's Souls: Back to Boletaria) I was curious if anyone would get behind the PC petition. Lo and behold, as of this writing 52,392 people have signed on.
