The Co-Opticrew is back at it again with the weekend video games. Now that we're well and truly into those chilly temperatures, we'll be cozying up with our game of choice and enjoying a nice cup of... whatever it is folks are into these days. Pumpkin spice? TikTok dances? Who knows.
The zambies are back. The ZAAAAMBIES return. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has released and with it the ever present zombie mode made famous by Call of Duty: World at War. The new flavor of zombies is a lot of the same, but also tweaked to feel decidingly different.
Earlier this year in May, HyperX and Ducky launched a collaboration: the HyperX x Ducky One 2 Mini Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. This was an exciting collaboration that partnered Ducky signatures (like 60% keyboard size and Ducky Macro 2.0) with HyperX hallmarks (such as in-house HyperX switches with exposed LEDs). Only 3700 units were released, and they sold out very quickly.
Following up on our review of the ROCCAT Vulkan TKL Pro comes the other piece of recent gaming hardware, the Burst Pro gaming mouse. The weight of a gaming mouse has always been one of the most controversial features, while in the past gamers tended towards heavier more stable mice, the new trend is as light as possible. To that end we've seen ...
Since Sony and Microsoft's latest consoles are finally seeing the cold light of day, it's the Co-Opticrew's solemn duty to test them out and report back. I'll give you a quick teaser, though: they're probably just fine. Nevertheless, the examinations must commence, so we'll be slingin' webs and swingin' axes all weekend long.
This is a simple stream recap, we jumped into the final moments of Destiny 2 before the Beyond Light expansion pack hit which saw Bungie deleting several planets including Io, Titan, Mars, and Mercury. With those areas gone the game world has shrunk considerably and strange things are afoot with the new darkness power incoming.
Thanks to Co-Optimus, I've been fortunate enough to get fingers on a lot of keyboards over the years. It's clear that in the 12 years this website has been around keyboard technology has progressed quite a bit. The latest keyboard from ROCCAT Gaming is the shining example of this when looking in retrospect. I've been using the the ROCCAT Vulkan TKL Pro for the past week and I've come away incredibly impressed with modern keyboard keyboard technology.
The Co-Opticrew is getting an extra life for the weekend, and we couldn't be more excited (not a Second Life, though, that's for the Co-Opticrew After Dark stream). Sure, we'll be playing a frankly unhealthy amount of video games over the next 48 to 72 hours, but we're doing it for charity. We're practically heroes.
Sometimes first impressions aren't everything. On the surface Drake Hollow immediately reminded the Co-Opticrew of Fortnite's Save the World co-op mode. But after getting below the surface it was clear that Drake Hollow was less about defense and base building and more about exploration and growth.
More than 50 games offering co-op features were released last month across all the major platforms. So while everyone (yes, including us) is waiting for the Next Generation(TM) to arrive in a few weeks, there's still more than enough co-op fodder available to pass the time with friends. The database meanwhile saw an increase of 170 old, new and upcoming titles during the month, making sure that we remain your primary source for co-op gaming!
As part of our roles as Gaming Journalists, we're contractually obligated to bring forth some of our spookiest gaming material for the coming weekend. From what I can tell, it seems like the Co-Opticrew has landed on Hades as its game of choice this time around. What's scarier than having a douche-y dad telling you what to do all the time? Trying to disobey him, failing, and listening to him gloat over and over for eternity, of course.
If you were looking for some new, spooky video game to play with some buddies this Halloween, well you're in luck! The newest entry in the Dark Pictures Anthology, Little Hope, is available today for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Supermassive Games made quite the name for itself with its first interactive horror title, 2015's Until Dawn, and the first entry in its Dark Pictures Anthology, Man of Medan, earned additional praise for the way it allowed you to enjoy this kind of game with friends.
