Fans of frantic finger swiping combat are already familiar with Infinity Blade 2. The excellent action game is one of the most popular titles for iOS devices. A recent patch changes the game from a solitary experience into a social undertaking of thousands. The new Clashmob is a cooperative social battle where players work together to accomplish seemingly impossible goals.
The Xbox.com website has been updated ahead of the new dashboard launch (which just went out to preview members). With the update comes a new host of social features, designed to help Xbox gamers find other players looking to play the same games you are. Need a co-op partner for Modern Warfare 3? No problem.
Dead Rising Mobile for the iPhone and iPod Touch is actually based on the first game that takes place in the Williamette Mall starring photographer Frank West. The events and story of the game aren't identical to the original Xbox 360 title, instead they are unique to the platform. In the game you'll be killing zombies, finding unique weapons, and of course escorting survivors - though the latter has been revamped quite a bit.
It's been a few months since we've heard of the Fate of Carmine charity campaign for Gears of War 3. The goal of the campaign was to raise money for Penny-Arcade's Child's Play Charity and have a little fun by having the community determine whether or not the latest Carmine brother in Gears of War 3 would live or die.
If you don't know what Rockstar's Social Club is, it's the developers web extension of all their games. It's similar to what Bungie.net is for the Halo games. We've seen integration with Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, and now the latest open world game will join the pair with extended features.
Last month we told you about Tweet Defense, a unique take on the desktop tower defense genre. Games like Pixel Junk Monsters and Comet Crash have added co-op to the genre, allowing direct player interaction, but Tweet Defense is trying co-op a different why.
Video games are for the most part a 4 sense experience - touching, feeling, hearing, and seeing. But not all gamers are so lucky to experience everything a game has to offer, and perhaps the most difficult for those handicapped are the blind. Without the ability to see they must rely on their other senses to get through the game's they love so much.
It was almost four years ago the Microsoft touted their Live Anywhere concept at E3 2006. The idea was simple, you'd have access to your friends lists, achievements, messages and other Live related activities on your mobile phone or other device. Since then it has all but disappeared...until now.
It's always interesting to see some unique form of cooperative play pop up, such as that which is coming in TweetDefense. The iPhone and iPod Touch game mashes up zombie survival modes with the tower defense genre and throws in Twitter for good measure. Twitter? Yes THAT Twitter.
We talked a bit about Scribblenauts a few months back, a unique Nintendo DS title from developer 5th Cell. Check out our original post in regards to the concepts of the game. The game will be on store shelves tomorrow, September 15th, and by all accounts looks like it should be a solid seller (#5 at the time of this writing).
