Back in the 1980s and 90s, games were sometimes renamed when released in Europe. Contra became Probotector, TMNT became the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, and a handful of Bomberman games were called Dynablaster. Now BBG Entertainment, the German company responsible for the really unpleasant looking Boulder Dash Plus, is resurrecting Dynablaster with a brand-new game. The new Dynablaster is coming to Xbox, Switch, and Steam in July, and it will support 4-player local and online co-op.

What would a Roguelike version of Borderlands be like? Chinese developer Duoyi Games have answered that question with Gunfire Reborn, a first-person shooter Roguelike that challenges players to team up and progress through increasingly tough levels, strengthening their characters with each run and unlocking new features along the way. Gunfire Rebor...

Warframe, the free-to-play action/shooter RPG, has been trucking along since 2013. Gamers can download the MMO-like space ninja game on all the big platforms, including PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch. As multiplayer-focused games age, though, playerbase becomes an issue. It's hard to make war on the frames if you can't find anybody to play with. Thankfully, that will soon become less of an issue when Warframe gains cross-play and cross-save before the end of the year.

Co-op games are a great way to spend some time catching up with your friends, but you know what will really enhance those relationships?  Getting super creeped out together and sharing the same skin-crawling tension for a couple hours.  Fortunately for us, The Past Within is due for release later this year, so we'll have ample opportunity to do just that.

Two weeks after its release, Genshin Impact has made quite the impression in the gaming scene. The free-to-play, third-person action game draws a ton of inspiration from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as well as an elemental system that's reminsicent of the Divinity: Original Sin titles (i.e., combining two elements produces a new result). We spent a little time with the game's co-op and showed off what it has to offer, as well as its limitations.

Minecraft has managed to give players limitless potential since its release back in 2009, but some how the game continues to add the content the game always needs, even now, eleven years later. In the most recent update, the game has decided to dive into the depths of the hellish Nether to introduce new biomes, blocks, mobs, and resources.It even introduces a new upgrade to diamond resources, meaning even the most achieved players will need to dive back into the game to upgrade their gear. The update is accompanied with the adorable trailer below, which accurately shows about how many times I’ve personally died in the Nether since the content went live.  The changes are available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.

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. However, it appears the newest update, “Journey’s End,” will possibly be one of the final (development) chapters in the long running saga that is Terraria.

In these unprecedented times during the Corona virus outbreak that is plaguing the world, many of us are stuck in doors due to government mandated "stay at home" orders. While many schools are attempting to offer remote learning possibilities for children, not all have the access or attention the fully get engaged. Microsoft's Minecraft game is hoping to help a little bit by offering free educational content through the Minecraft marketplace.

Earlier this week, the PlayStation 4 version of the popular building-sim, Minecraft, finally got the Bedrock Update. That update made its way around all other versions of the game so that all of them could play together; the PS4 version of the game was the one notable exception. With that update, everybody can play Minecraft on all platforms where it's available and have their progress carry over.

If you woke up this morning, remembered that Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition are all available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch now, and THEN thought, "oh boy! A chance to play those with friends!" we have some unfortunate but also vitally important news. The console versions of those games are single-player only.

UPDATE: The Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, and Icewind Dale do not support co-op or any multiplayer at this time. They are single-player games only. We have removed the console versions from our database. The original news post is below.

Minecraft may be experiencing a resurgence of sorts in pop culture, but that doesn't mean the developers ever stopped plugging along on updates for the game.  All sorts of new features, items, and biomes have been added over the years, and now, at long last, a character creator is on the way.
