Microsoft unveiled a slew of Xbox Series X titles today for their next generation console, and with it came a handful of cooperative focused titles. The one that really caught our eye was from Avalanche Studios called Second Extinction.
There may not be much traveling or commuting going on right now, but sooner or later, folks are going to start getting back on the road (or in the air), and they'll need their arcade driving games to accompany them. Luckily, Nintendo has just the thing.
With folks around the world stuck indoors, it's only natural that the average person would spend a substantial amount of their waking hours daydreaming about travel. While we can't quite visit many places in person right now, Saber Interactive is offering a chance to digitally explore one specific locale at your leisure, assuming you don't mind the slightly more aggressive populace.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 may almost be almost be three years old, but the game is still going strong. Yesterday to celebrate the unofficial Star Wars holiday (or possibly official?) May the 4th, EA had the game on sale for just $6. And while it's back up to a price of $16 dollars today, it's still a steal with a ton of content to play and enjoy.
Combo Co-Op, if you didn't know, is the ability to mix a co-op game with both local and online players at the same time. It's one of the only features Streets of Rage 4 doesn't support out of the box. Thanks to Twitter user @SolKeizer26 though - we've found a workaround to at least get 3 players going in remote play on PS4.
Few games have captured the creative and adventurous hearts of gamers like the crafting and combat heavy Terraria. The title has managed to keep its longevity over the years with a steady stream of updates ever since its initial PC release back in 2011.

Gears are turning around the world as folks create plans for re-emergence, but Co-Optimus HQ is still buckled down for the foreseeable future. That's not the worst situation, though, as there are plenty of new games to sink our pale, sterile claws into. Maybe when summer rolls around, we'll start looking wistfully out our windows again, but for now, things are golden.
Streets of Rage 4 is out today, the first true Streets game in 26 years. You can read our review of Streets of Rage 4 right here, needless to say, we've been thrilled. If you prefer more of the visual review though, we've got that below. Last night Mike and Nick jumped into the two player co-op online action taking the game for a spin in Arcade, Boss Rush and even Battle modes.
There's very little moving going on in the world right now (much less shaking), but luckily, you can still spend a few hours each evening explaining to your friends how to rotate a dining table to your left.
As the world shelters in the relative comfort of their own homes, it's natural that some folks will yearn for the harsh, messy expanses of the great outdoors. What more perfect time could there be, then, for a new game about exactly that?
The synths kick in as the neon lights reflect off the city streets, slowly the drums add to the atmosphere. From off screen strolls a a gruff man with long blond hair and an ere of anger in his stride. Soon the screen is filled with a gang intent on being served justice...with your fists. It's a familiar scene for gamers who grew up in the 90s ...
Sega's phenomenal co-op strategy game, Total War: Shogun 2, may not have been lost to time, but it's certainly fallen a bit by the wayside in light of Sega's more recent iterations on the Total War franchise. Thanks to the current pandemic, though, it's been given one more shot at the limelight.
