Back in the early days of VR (2016), Arizona Sunshine made a name for itself as an exciting zombie shooter. This month, Vertigo Games finally released Arizona Sunshine 2 on Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and Steam VR. The sequel promises lots of zombie shooting with a helpful dog companion, a wicked sense of humor, and campaign and horde mode co-op.
The road to Dead Island 2 was longer than most. In 2011, Techland and Deep Silver released the first Dead Island, a sort of zombie-themed take on Borderlands. Following a couple of expansions and spinoffs, Dead Island 2 was announced way back in 2014. We’ve been covering it since then! The undead sequel changed development hands a few times o...
Digital games are more convenient than physical games, and usually cheaper too. Still, there's something about collecting physical games that appeals to many gamers. Preordering limited physical editions directly from boutique labels is always an option, but sometimes retailers offer the same editions for a better price. That's certainly the case with Best Buy, which currently has 14 Nintendo Switch titles from Limited Run up for preorder, including TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Double Dragon Neon, and several more co-op hits.
Call of Duty: Vanguard 's campaign mode might not have set the world on fire, but the multiplayer modes are still going strong. Players who haven't jumped in yet now have a great chance to do so, as both the cooperative Zombies and competitive Multiplayer modes are free to download and play from July 20-26. What's more, July 26 will see the "Mercenaries of Fortune" update arrive (though without a new Zombies map).
For cooperatively-minded folks like us, Zombies mode is usually the highlight of any Call of Duty game. That certainly holds true for Call of Duty: Vanguard, which has the series' best Zombies mode in recent memory. Things got even better this week thanks to the deployment of "Shi No Numa," Vanguard's third Zombies map (and a returning favorite from past games). We spent a couple of hours in the deadly swamp-based map and had a bloody good time.
The latest Zombies map to be added to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is called 'Mauer der Toten,' meaning "Wall of the Dead." The Black Ops Cold War Zombies maps are surprisingly story-heavy, and this one sees the members of peacekeeping force Requiem forced to build a warhead to close the Dark Aether portal that was opened in Berlin by traitorous scientist Aleksandra Valentina. We played several co-op games on 'Mauer der Toten,' and we even found out how to unlock the robot, Klaus.
Back in the innocent days of 1993, LucasArts created a unique 16-bit co-op game called Zombies Ate My Neighbors. The game starred two goofy teenagers who must wield squirt guns and other improvised weapons to save their neighborhood from an invasion of monsters and aliens. It also spawned a less beloved sequel, Ghoul Patrol. Now both of those games...
The eternal rivalry between plants and zombies will be thriving in the Nintendo ecosystem later this year. As much as the hatred between these two has burned over the years, it's worked out quite well for them from a business standpoint. Maybe this "conflict" is more nefarious than we thought. Or maybe not.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is going to receive a major update this week on January 14th, as the "mid-season update" goes live with the game across all platforms. While most of the changes are focused on the game's PvP modes with new maps, weapons, and playlists there is some good stuff for co-op fans.
