Few games have captured the creative and adventurous hearts of gamers like the crafting and combat heavy Terraria. The title has managed to keep its longevity over the years with a steady stream of updates ever since its initial PC release back in 2011. However, it appears the newest update, “Journey’s End,” will possibly be one of the final (development) chapters in the long running saga that is Terraria.
It's been nearly nine years since Saints Row: The Third glimpsed a world in which the eponymous Saints had reached celebrity status, and what a world it was. Luckily, we no longer have to daydream about such a place (or bust out our old consoles to explore it), because Saints Row: The Third Remastered is releasing on May 22nd.
Sony is joining the fight against Corona, enticing gamers to stay home and play games instead of going out in the world risking spread of the disease. Wow, that just sounds bad. But welcome to 2020 folks.
It's a tale as old as time. Gangster becomes president. President gains superpowers. Superpowerful president defends the earth from aliens. You've heard it a thousand times, and you'll hear it once more when Saints Row IV: Re-Elected makes its way to the Nintendo Switch on March 27th.
In a quick but drastic shift, Starbreeze has declared it will continue development on 2013’s PAYDAY 2 through both free and paid content, which is in direct contrast to their previous ideology of winding down support for the title and providing any future content for free as part of their “Ultimate Edition” of the game.
It's been a minute since we talked about Helldivers; in fact it’s been nearly a year since the last sliver of info came to us so the time apart has only made the release of the new (and free) “Dive Harder “ update that much sweeter. The free content, which is available now on PlayStation 4, Playstation 4, Vita, and PC, includes the new Proving Grounds mode, described on the official blog as being, “[A] unique replayable mission that takes place in a city, purpose built as a training facility. Captured enemies have been let loose to roam the streets and give the Helldivers an opportunity to hone their skills.”
You read that title correctly. Saints Row 2, the second entry in the Saints Row franchise, a title that is now 11 years old, will be receiving a patch on the PC before we know it. The update comes due to Volition, the Saint’s Row series developer, finally finding the source code for the PC version of the game, the port of which was handled by an outside studio. While this is both official and delightful news - especially the bit about co-op working now - the timeframe when the PC version will be patched and content added are still yet to be announced. With Volition also working on Saints Row 5, it could be some time before we see this come to fruition.
Yesterday, Naughty Dog shutdown the multiplayer servers for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (along with the multiplayer servers for The Last of Us). The announcement was made last June via a blog posting on Naughty Dog's website, and the fated day has come and gone, leaving all our co-op adventures in the digital dust.
It's been quite some time since LEGO Jurassic World first graced us with its presence, mostly because it served as a tie-in to the franchise's first movie reboot in 2015. Even though we're a few years off that initial surge of dino-stalgia, at least one person out there has presumably said, "You know what, we should put this game on the Nintendo Switch".
Nine years ago, in the summer of 2010, I began this MMO Co-Opportunities column. As a fan of MMOs, I saw value in highlighting the co-op opportunities (or “co-opportunities”) within individual games. For the first year, I was able to cover one MMO a month, focusing on the unique opportunities I (or my fellow writers) saw within each gam...
Alas, after over a decade of uptime, Criterion Games has announced that they'll be shutting down the servers for Burnout Paradise later this year. If you were planning on completing those last few challenges on your list or getting nostalgic with some friends, I'd recommend doing it soon.
The original Castle Crashers came out 11 years ago on the Xbox 360 and immediately established itself as a game with strong personality, fun quirks, and challenging but wonderful co-op gameplay. That original game was followed up with a remaster on Xbox One in 2015 and it is that version that is now arriving on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch sometime this year.
