Over the past 20 years, there have been a number of action-RPG titles that fall in line with the reductive/encompassing idea of "Monster Hunter-like." The latest entry into this field - Wild Hearts - comes from Koei Tecmo and Omega Force, and it shows a lot of promise... if it can just get out of its own way.
It's been back to back weeks for the Monday Night crew here at Co-Optimus, hooked on the pre-release beta for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. If you've played one of the Vermintide games, you know what this is all about, except now we've 38 thousand years in the gritty war torn future.
Illfonic's latest 4v1 multiplayer game, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, arrived last week to scratch that certain itch you've been feeling for a while now.

The much anticipated "massive expansion" to Monster Hunter Rise - Sunbreak - arrived yesterday (June 30) and earlier this week, in anticipation of its release, we figured we'd dip back into Rise for a quick High Rank hunt before checking out a couple of the new monsties in the Sunbreak demo.
Nick's got his Riskrunner, Mike's got his snark, Jason's got his unbridled enthusiasm... yep! It's another Destiny 2 co-op stream! This time we're checking out the most recent expansion, Witch Queen, and discussing what's new with the Light and Darkness.
Fans of beat ‘em ups and the Ninja Turtles alike have been hotly anticipating Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge since its announcement last year.

Not only that, but the Turtles’ master, Splinter, will be playable for the first time in a videogame. Cowabunga!
