For our latest "Let's Play Co-Op," Jason talks a lot, Mike rejoices that someone else on staff is now an advocate for Final Fantasy XIV, Locke tries to keep up, and Nick takes a nap.

One of the best ways to keep a game alive in people's hearts and minds is to release it on modern platforms. One such game, BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition from Frogmind and publisher Qubic Games, is already playable on pretty much every platform out there... except one. That changes on August 6 when BADLAND finally touches down on Nintendo Switch. At last, everyone will get to experience 4-player local co-op in a colorful land gone bad.

Square-Enix have announced a remastered version of the PlayStation 1 classic RPG Legend of Mana is coming to PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch this summer. While the game was available on the PS3 in it's original form, the remaster is bringing several updates and quality of life improvements to the game.

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".
