Last night the crew dove into Back 4 Blood a day before its official release. It's the perfect time of year for a game like this and we were immediately reminded what makes these experiences so special. And while on the surface its easy to see Turtle Rock Studios return to the Left 4 Dead formula from many years ago, Back 4 Blood definitely feels like a modern shooter.
I love pleasant surprises. Such as it was with Timemelters, a two player co-op tower defense like game for PC in which players are tasked with stopping hordes of evil creatures. But unlike most tower defense style games, it's played from an on the ground perspective and your towers are different defensive spells in order to manage the baddies.
We checked out Dead Containment the other night during our Twitch stream, its a two player co-op on rails shooter in the same realm of House of the Dead or Virtua Cop. The graphics in fact are very reminiscent of the latter, though it certainly has a modern look to it.
Last night our crew of four dove into the recently released Diablo II remaster, Diablo II: Resurrected. For many of us it was a trip down memory lane as we were all in our prime high school or early college age. It was a time when games actually were sold in stores in giant boxes and DVDs were considered cutting edge.
Mike and Nick are reliving their teenage years thanks to the free update to QUAKE. Bethesda and id Software have brought the game into the modern age with high resolution graphics, controller support, and full internet play including cross platform multiplayer.
Before there was Spelunky, there was a 1980s platformer called Spelunker. The ultra-challenging platformer saw players navigating deadly caves with little chance of survival. That game was remade and expanded as Spelunker HD on PlayStation 3, but it’s not exactly easy (or even possible) to play PS3 games on modern consoles. Hence, ININ and To...
We're back with the second campaign of our Back 4 Blood preview. We head into the countryside and take on the Blue Dog Hollow mission Bad Seeds.
This week for our co-op stream we looked at Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the three player co-op shooter from developer Cold Iron Studios. The co-opticrew sort of slept on this one, but once we landed planet-side we realized that there's a good ol' fashioned fun game to be had here.
The first Puyo Puyo Tetris cleverly combined two classic falling block puzzle franchises, but it almost stayed in Japan. I wrote an import guide for the Japanese Xbox version! The first game did eventually make it to English markets on some platforms, but not poor Xbox. Thankfully, Sega has seen fit to release Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 in English on ...
Time for some finale action in our Back 4 Blood preview. It has been a minute, but this one is a doozy and has some great set pieces as we head to the final chapter in The Devil's Return campaign.
The crew dove into a Viking world for their normal Monday evening Twitch streams this week. Did you tune in? If not you missed out on some great action and horrible Viking impressions. Thankfully we are nice people and have decided to post the recap of Tribes of Midgard for you below.
Welcome back to our co-op preview for Black 4 Blood. In this week's episode we work our way though the third level titled "Pain Train" and clear out the infestation in an abandoned trainyard.
