Despite a few gaps in releases now and then, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been a gaming mainstay for over 30 years. It started with Konami’s first NES game in 1989, and then things really blew up with the arrival of the arcade game that same year. TMNT: The Arcade Game showed the world that the Ninja Turtles and co-op go together lik...
I know, I hear you out there. "Where are the new co-op games," you're wondering. Yeah, me too, buddy. But hey, while we all wait for the inevitable deluge of releases this holiday season, take a little time to check out this week's Deals With Gold where you can pick up Mass Effect: Andromeda, Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax, and more at reduced prices.
RWBY: Grimm Eclipse, originally a passion project created by a fan of the Rooster Teeth web series, officially released last July on PC. A Mac version soon followed. Last week, console fans finally got their chance strap on their Hunter and Huntress attire, with developer Panic Button bringing the game to Xbox One and PS4.
Once again, Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault will be delayed for the PlayStation Vita, but not without some love in return. Sony has issued a free copy of Ratchet & Clank: Deadlocked on the PS3 for those that purchase Full Frontal Assault near release.
Microsoft has launched a brand new dedicated music store section to Xbox Live featuring all the music downloads for Rock Band, Guitar Hero and the Lips franchises.
Last year we applauded Microsoft's entry into the music genre with Lips. Unique LED and motion sensitive microphones, plus a packed song list with plenty of co-op options made for a great party. Lips is back with the first sequel, called Lips #1 Hits. But is it worth your money?
There's five co-op releases this week, highlighted by the monster that is Borderlands. On the opposite end of the spectrum we have two family friendly titles and a karaoke game that's sure to make anyone's next party a blast. All the games release today and are available from Amazon.
If there was one thing holding Rock Band 2 back from being the perfect music game, it would have to be the lack of support for wireless microphones. A patch has just been released that fixes this problem, allowing rockers to use the Lips microphones (also recently released seperately) in a fully wireless environment. We're pleased with the addition of this feature, but curious as to why it took so long. After all, wireless mic support was announced last year!
Few people in the world have heard the beautiful and melodic sounds that resonate from my vocal chords while shaking a brightly colored LED microphone and singing Umbrella by Rihanna.
Sorry, kiddos: this one isn't compatible with Halo 3, so you're going to just have to keep singing your squeaky renditions of Kryptonite into your Halo edition boom mics. Meantime, the real crooners can get down with the new Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone, the first peripheral microphone supported by at least one music game from each series.
Earlier this week Microsoft held an event to showcase some upcoming holiday products including Windows 7, Zune HD, and numerous Xbox 360 titles. We've already written up some extensive coverage of Halo 3: ODST, which if you haven't already, you should go check out. Despite ODST being a highlight of sorts, there were other interesting things worth mentioning
It's time to dig out the parachute pants and eat some California Raisins. The recently rumored sequel to co-op karaoke game Lips has officially been announced. Titled Lips: Number One Hits, the game will include only songs that reached #1 on the charts. Not much has been said about gameplay changes, making Number One Hits sound more like an expansion, and not a true sequel.
