VooDolls is an upcoming Steam game from French developer SideRift and Tate Multimedia in which a team of living voodoo dolls must work together to protect their puppet master from hordes of angry demons. The full game is scheduled to arrive on Steam in April, but the Voodolls closed beta runs from January 1-23. We've go...

Tower defense games are fun enough, but things really heat up when players get to hop into the action instead of just commanding from the sidelines. We'll be seeing plenty of action in VooDolls, an upcoming Steam game from French developer SideRift and Tate Multimedia. Up to four online players will team up as voodoo dolls who have to defend a ...

It's always fun to ride a mount in games. Indie studio Moving Pieces Interactive knows this, and so they've build a whole game around it called Shoulders of Giants. In this third-person shooter/Roguelike, gamers get to play as gun-wielding frogs who ride around on the shoulders of giant mechs. It's a promising premise, especially since ...

A couple of years ago, Blowfish Studios released a charming action platformer called Infinite - Beyond the Mind. Infinite features an attractive 16-bit style, fast-paced gameplay focused on melee combat, and 2-player local co-op. Now that the digital version has been out for a while on all platforms, Strictly Limited Games is gracing Infinite with physical editions for PlayStation and Switch. What's more, these editions will be offered with two different covers: one featuring each of the game's heroines.

In 2021, Resolution Games released Demeo, a VR game, to Steam Early Access. The game soon received a non-VR edition called Demeo: PC Edition which finally graduated from Early Access (and received a new campaign) in December. Demeo is a "cross platform cooperative adventure" that looks and plays like a fantasy-themed board game. Now that the full game has been released, I jumped at the chance to try it out in both 2-player and 4-player online co-op.

Sports games are competitive in nature, but that doesn't mean they can't be cooperative as well. The upcoming Volley Pals, from indie developer NAISU (maker of Mokoko X and several upcoming games), adapts the sport of volleyball while also allowing two local players to compete against an AI team. That's how you do it, folks! Preorders for the Xbox version of Volley Pals opened up this week, and Switch preorders are soon to follow.

WayForward's Spidersaurs is a charming run-and-gun shooter that launched digitally last year. The game combines the excitement and challenge of Contra with a colorful Saturday morning cartoon style. It also features 2-player local co-op, a helpful feature when blasting away at hordes of dinosaur/spider hybrids. Collectors will soon have a chance to join in the fun now that Limited Run Games has opened preorders for both standard and collector's editions of Spidersaurs.

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...

The Asterix comics have been around since 1959. Originating in France, they’ve been translated into English and many other languages, and continue being published to this day. Microids’ series of video game adaptations has persisted for quite a while as well. The single-player Asterix & Obelix XXL first released in 2003, receiving a...

When it comes to 2022's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games from Konami and Dotemu, it seems like the two titles are always trying to outdo each other. One game gets a trailer; the other game gets a trailer. TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection gets an update; TMNT: Shredder's Revenge gets an update. While today's Shredder's Revenge update isn't as earth-shattering as the one The Cowabunga Collection just got, it does add a cool Custom Game feature that will make Arcade mode a lot more fun, plus some video filters for people who want the game to look less pristine.

When Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection launched earlier this year, 6 out of the 13 included games featured online multiplayer. That number has now increased by one thanks to this week's huge update. The update adds 2-player online co-op to the Super Nintendo version of TMNT: Turtles in Time as well as numerous new options and enhancements to other parts of the collection. It's going to be a cowabunga-cool Christmas for Turtles fans!
