Extra Life 2025 Game Day Begins!

Eric Murphy

What could be a better way to spend a day than to spend it playing games and raising donations for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals? I can't think of anything. But what would make it even better would be your company in our Twitch chat, and, of course, DONATIONS! We're joining thousands of other gamers in our favori...

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for October 2025

Christoph Licht

While games like No Man's Sky show that a comeback from a bad release is indeed possible, the reality is that they are the exception to the rule. So we're not really holding our breath. Especially these days, when there are more new games released each minute than anyone can reasonable play in several lifetimes.

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for September 2025

Oh well. Nothing we can do about it (yet). So take a look below, pick what interests you and play away!

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for August 2025

Christoph Licht

There was so much this year surrounding the event, that we almost forgot about all those new releases still happening in the meantime. Its not that they ever stop after all. A couple of examples? Stormgate and Abyssus left Steam Early Access, GRADIUS ORIGINS and Lost Twins 2 hit store shelves, Heretic and Hexen received an enhanced edition as did Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Gears of War. And the devs of The Riftbreaker finally added co-op support.

Daimon Blades Preview

Christoph Licht

French development house Streum On Studio just announced their newest title: Daimon Blades. It’s a first-person slasher set inside an ancient temple filled to the brim with unique environments and hordes of monster to slay, along with online co-op for up to four players. The developers, however, also want to make the game enjoyable for l...

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for July 2025

Christoph Licht

Continuing with this theme: Another turbulent start had Worship, a Pikmin-inspired roguelite, that entered Early Access. They even had to deactivate the multiplayer-mode for now because it just wasn’t working well. An option, the people over at Tripwire Interactive don’t really have with their co-op horde shooter Killing Floor III. Even after several delays the release version seems to be in a very rough shape based on the reviews and not at all what fans expected. A fate they share with all those PayDay 3-buyers.

LintZapper Review: A Fresh Way to Clean Your Keyboard

Paul Acevedo

The product comes in a pocket-sized green package that can be opened and closed like a pack of gum. Inside are 40 rectangular lint sheets measuring 4 x 3 inches each. You just peel one off and use it whenever you've got some mess to remove. It's the same idea as a lint roller but without the bulky roller that picks up dirty stuff between uses. Here, the lint sheets are covered between uses, so they always start out clean.

Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for June 2025

Christoph Licht

Our database saw an increase of around 100 new entries from the showcases alone, and our Database Master hasn't even finished adding all the new titles from Steam Next Fest yet. Yes, it seems like he's getting slower these days - maybe we need to take out the whip again... Oh, and of course, Nintendo decided that this was the best time to release a new console. Not to mention all the games hitting store shelves or leaving Steam Early Access in June.

Not So Co-op: REMATCH

Paul Acevedo

REMATCH is a freshly launched arcade-style soccer/football game on consoles and Steam from Soclap and Kepler Interactive. It features a striking visual style and uniquely streamlined gameplay. In the game, two teams of three, four, or five players face off in a soccer match. Each gamer controls only a single player, so there's a focus on working with your team to succeed rather than doing everything yourself.
