We're finishing off our December co-op nights with Dungeon Defenders for PC. The event kicks off at 8PM Central on Saturday, December 17th. After all the holiday sales, this game found it's way to most of our Steam libraries, and everyone seems to be enjoying it. If you somehow managed to miss out on those sales, you can still pick it up from Amazon at the regular price of $15, and as an added bonus, you're treated to an Amazon exclusive pet, and $5 credit on downloadable versions of this year's best sellers (including Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3). Not a bad deal for a quality 8-player co-op game.
This week in Indie-Ana Co-Op, an astronaut gets stranded on an alien planet and a group of determined elves set out to save Christmas! Yeah, only one of these really has anything to do with the holiday season.
Gears of War 3 has received two, count'em, two new DLC's in past few (okay, six) weeks. The first was the Horde Command Pack, which features new multiplayer characters, weapon skins, Horde mode upgrades, and a few new maps. That's all well and good, but the meatier of the two DLC's came out yesterday. RAAM's Shadow offers a whole new co-operative campaign which takes place before the events of the first Gears of War.
Some months back, we talked about an online action-rpg coming to the PC that offered the kind of cooperative gameplay found in classic Super NES games like Secret of Mana. The game in question is Wanderlust: Rebirth and you can now hack n' slash your way through foes with friends at a fraction of the cost! Until December 25th, Team Wanderlust is selling their debut title at just half its usual going rate of $10. The savings really start to add up when you purchase mutliple copies to share between you and your fellow adventurers, as you can get four copies of the game for just $15! That's almost as good a deal as the latest indie bundle.
The latest Humble Indie Bundle, number four to be exact, includes co-op titles Jamestown and Shank along with single player indie games Super Meat Boy, NightSky HD, and Bit.Trip Runner. Spending more than the current average price of about $5.33 will also net you Cave Story and Gratuitous Space Battles.
Tecmo-Koei have announced a new Dynasty Warriors game, called Dynasty Warriors Next, is coming to the PlayStation Vita. From the description it looks to be a standard Dynasty Warriors affair with several additions just for the Vita including four player co-op, control enhancements and several social features.
Voltron: Defender of the Universe has some new DLC for fans of the game. The "Arena of Doom" offers a survival mode that can be played cooperatively with the five robot lions. I was cleaning out my car and managed to find 240 Microsoft Points, so I ponied up the points and gave it a spin. I've got to say, I wasn't too impressed.
Sam Stone is feeling the holiday spirit. All that running around in the desert has made him miss the snow, candy canes, and shiny wrapped presents. But Sam has a present of his own, in the form of a 16 barrel grenade launcher armed to the teeth for Mental's hordes.
Shoot-em-up fans know that XBLA shmups seldom go on sale, if ever. That’s why we’re both surprised and delighted to see not one but four Xbox Live Arcade shmups on sale this week, all of them with 2-player co-op. The highlight of the sale has to be Radiant Silvergun, a port of the extremely rare Sega Saturn classic from Treasure. But heck, if you’re a fan of the genre you’re probably going to want them all.
