In a blog post earlier this week, Eric Barone (aka ConcernedApe) spread the good word that the co-op update for the Nintendo Switch version of Stardew Valley would be available to download on Wednesday, the 12th (i.e., yesterday). Well yesterday arrived and with it, the co-op patch. Now you and up to three friends can all work a farm together, romance the local populous, and explore some caverns.
While there were a number of exciting moments during this year's Game Awards, perhaps one of the more memorable ones for us was the reveal of a new Ultimate Alliance game, aka MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order. It should come as no surprise that plot of this game - following on the heels of "Avengers: Infinity War" - revolves around Thanos and his collection of cult-like followers, the titular Black Order.
Thunder Louts Games' Eldritch horror meets Metroidvania title, Sundered, is getting a nice little update this month. The game was initially single-player only when it was released back in July 2017 for the PC and PlayStation 4, that's all going to change very soon.
The newest LEGO movie has officially received a game to go along with it and, if there was any confusion which Lego Movie )(and game) came first, the latter’s formal title is The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, ironing out any and all misunderstandings. The newly announced title is set for a 2019 release across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch and PC, although the exact release date remains unknown. However, as The LEGO Movie 2 film is set for a February release, it is safe to say that expecting the video game to release near that time is very likely.
Guacamelee! 2, the sequel to one of our favorite titles of 2013, has been available since August of this year and allows players to power-bomb all new enemies in all new environments. One of the main ways the game spices up its four player local co-op is through the use of different "skins", which each player can select and use to alter their playstyle.
Like many of Nintendo's recent sports titles, Mario Tennis Aces thrives in online play. In order to keep this competitive mode from getting too stale, Nintendo seems to have settled on a slow but steady drip of new characters, each with their own attributes and playstyles.
Everything old is new again on the Nintendo Switch. Seven years after it debuted on the Xbox Live Arcade (BRING IT BACK, MICROSOFT!), Ms. 'Splosion Man arrives on the Switch today so you and your buddies can blow each other up across 50 levels. Cue the 1812 Overture!
Tesla vs Lovecraft, the top-down twin stick shooter from developer 10tons, has been festering in our collective stomachs since its release in January of 2018. Its nutrients have almost been fully absorbed at this point, so it's a good thing the game's next course is coming our way in early December.
Last night we dusted off the arcade machine, pulled out a pocket full of (virtual) quarters and checked out the latest nostalgia release from Capcom. The Capcom Beat Em Up Bundle is a beat em up fan's dream featuring seven classic Capcom games, two of which, have never been released on a console or PC.
Even after tackling all its challenges and achieving the “true ending” for Guacamelee!, I wanted more; more of its unique brawling action, more of its self-aware humor, and more platforming challenge. Guacamelee! 2 delivers all of that (and then some), but after 5 years between games, “more of the same” may not be what I act...
Last Monday's co-op stream featured a pair of indie games on display. Of those, Ninjin: Clash of Carrots stood out for it's wild art style, unique gameplay, and overabundance of vegetables.
As the prophets foretold, everyone's favorite chef simulator, Overcooked 2, was blessed with some new content on October 3rd. The new DLC, titled "Surf'n'Turf", is available now for all to enjoy and adds plenty of new beach-themed content.
Awesome Games Studio's latest title, Fury Unleashed, got an update today that we're pretty happy about. While the game was previously a single-player only platform shooter with rogue-lite elements, you can now play through it all with a buddy on your couch.
