We love when a new developer comes out swinging, and that's just what New Zealand-based Space Rock Games is doing. Composed of industry veterans who have worked on the Fable series, Path of Exile, and Chivalry 2, Space Rock Games is going all in on co-op. Their first game, Criminals Within, is a medieval fantasy action game with 2-player split-screen and online co-op, and it's coming to both PC and consoles.
Developer Flying Wild Hog really burst into the action scene with their shooter Hard Reset back in 2016. After the co-op friendly Shadow Warrior 2, they began working on a single player only sequel. Apparently though they've also been working on a new game set in the old West that's not quite as grounded as say...Red Dead Redemption. Enter the Evil West.
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.
NEXT Studios have launched a two player co-op platformer this week on Steam called Biped. The family friendly game is perfect for your quarantine couch or online co-op adventures while you ride out the COVID-19 wave.
There are quite a few open-world/survival games out there these days; from the fantastical to the prehistoric and even in space, you're not lacking for options. However, not all of these games support co-op play, and even fewer (none?) support mechs. Enter Iron City Games' open-world, survival/tactical FPS game, GearStorm.
Ghost Recon Wildlands isn't he only Ghost Recon title to see some new content. The PC modding community often extend the life of many classic games by adding graphical or UI features that many players wish the game included to begin with, or adding new content altogether. ApexMods has released a 30 Gb mod today, titled "Heroes Unleashed," for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon that adds new physics, new AI behavior, and "hardcore realism" to the game.
Total War: WARHAMMER II arrived last Thursday, bringing with it the opportunity to play as spell-casting frogs, the darkest of elves, the highest of elves, and some other race that probably isn't worth mentioning. Mike and Jason took it for a spin last night and discussed what's new from the previous entry, and how the co-op works this time around.
According to the folks over at Nintendo Everything, Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is on its way to the Nintendo Switch, raising the console's game library to, like... five.
You know how you hear about a game before release and you just can't contain your excitement? The agony of waiting, it can be unbearable. Gvoid aims to take the edge off of that with Inviolate: Prologue, a teaser of sorts for the upcoming sci-fi RPG that includes our favorite feature of all, co-op.
War used to be so expensive. Back in the day, you had your horses and your swords, each of which were worth upwards of twenty gold coins. Then, you had your thousand-dollar artillery shells and landmines. Finally, countries decided they just couldn't get by without dropping a couple million bones on stealth bombers. It's hard to believe how cheap things are these now in comparison. For instance, if you were to log onto the Humble Bundle website sometime in the next twelve days, you could basically buy the entirety of World War 2 for ten bucks.
Please stay behind the yellow line. The drama train is pulling into the station. Sven, a co-op mod for the original Half-Life, has been around for just under two decades. Earlier this year the much beloved mod got a free standalone release, an act that, as it turns out, would bring to light controversies building between the community and the development team.
Nvidia has really been pushing its Shield brand as a way to get your game on. We're not talking about flinging birds or ninjaing fruit, either, we're talking real games. Case in point: Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is now available for Nvidia Shield Android TV, and yeah, it's got co-op!
