Earth Defense Force is a cult favorite series traditionally developed by Japanese indie developer Sandlot and published by D3 Publisher. D3 Publisher has never been shy about allowing spin-off games to come from different developers, including the disappointing American-developed entry EDF: Insect Armageddon. Eight years later, developer Yuke&rsquo...
A new Earth Defense Force is on the way for the PlayStation 4, and it appears to be the series most ambitious title yet. In a series that started as a budget game with a B movie feel, EDF has grown to a full fledged AAA release. Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain is going to bring many firsts for the series, including full fledge character customization. You know what that means? Hats and emotes!
The long-running Earth Defense Force series is well-loved (by those in the know) for its low-budget sci-fi thrills and amazingly addictive co-op gameplay. Heck, I even played an Xbox 360 entry with this site's founder as an initiation way back in 2011. Though the series has since become exclusive to PlayStation and PC, it continues to deli...
It's been a while since we last had the opportunity to cover ourselves in the gooey bits of giant, extraterrestrial insectoids, but that doesn't mean we haven't been craving it all the same. Luckily for us, we have a brand new reason to venture forth onto the streets in search of alien bug gut showers (which is coincidentally the name of my new sci-fi punk band). Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair has made its way onto the PC and brings with it all the four player online co-op your body can handle.
Who hasn't had their dreams haunted by the chant; EDF! EDF!? Recently it would be everyone without a Playstation 4 as the latest outing for the series, Earth Defense Force 4.1, is only out on that platform. To increase any potential jealousy, new DLC is out for the game and is free to download for the first two weeks.
If you've never played an EDF game before, it's hard to describe really. The game is intentionally "bad" - like a B movie. It's campy, over the top, and pure popcorn action. We've seen a few iterations of the game since the original launched early on in the Xbox 360's life. Last year's Earth Defense Force 2025 saw several additions to the series, but it seemed that the older consoles simply weren't capable of handling the game.
Fans of the EDF series may enjoy this little announcement - Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space will be arriving on the PS Vita next month. That's right, the remake/port of this PS2 and (until recently) Japan only title hits store shelves on October 20, 2015. To celebrate, bask in all the glorious giant "alien" slaughter.
XSEED Games is getting ready to release another Earth Defense Force game in North America. Know what that means? Another confusing mess of trans-oceanic naming conventions! Earth Defense Force 2 is making its debut, and it's technically a prequel to the previous games released in the US, which makes sense in other territories since it was actually released before them. Shrug.
Some of you are probably still defending our beloved homeworld from the insect-and-robot menace in Earth Defense Force 2025. But what if I told you that something darker lurked on the horizon. Something that could only be handled by the Playstation 4?
Been feeling the urge to squash aliens in co-op lately? From now until June 2nd, Xbox 360 Deals with Gold is running a sale that may just help you satisfy that urge.

Have you already conquered Earth Defense Force 2025, yet you just can't get enough of flying your cybernetic-ponytail wielding Wing Divers around massive cities? You may want to direct your attention to the final DLC mission pack available now on the PSN and the Microsoft Marketplace. With twenty new missions, you'll be mowing down unstoppable hordes of insects and robots while drowning in plenty of that sweet, sweet loot.
Modern shooters take themselves far too seriously. Sure, they might deal with mature themes like the brutality of war, or discovering the darkness lying in the hearts of all mankind, but they don’t have an ounce of humor at all. They resemble accountants in suits who feel uncomfortable when a client starts smiling. Earth Defense Force 2025, h...
