Registration is open for Halo: Reach players to participate in the two-day FLAG (Fight Like A Girl) tournament. Registration costs $10 per person, or $20 per four-player team, and the event takes place from Saturday, October 23rd to Sunday, October 24th. Co-op gamers are not left out - Firefight is featured as one of the four accepted modes.
Blizzard wants you to have a special appreciation for globes when fighting for Sanctuary in Diablo III. Hold these in the highest regard - they are as important as the air you breathe. Without globes you don't fight. Without globes you don't grow and advance. Without globes you don't eminate presence.
3D is all the rage these days. Movies are doing it, Blu-Ray discs are doing it, and games are doing it. But as the saying goes - if everyone jumped off a bridge, would you jump too? The answer for Treyarch, developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops, the answer is apparently yes.
We've been shouting from the mountain tops about our Co-Optimus T-Shirt store at Splitreason for months now - and so far - we've heard nothing but good things from people who've purchased them. But we're still waiting for our first customer action shot - don't be camera shy!
You may have heard that the Borderlands Game of the Year edition comes out on October 12th. What you might not know is that when you purchase this game, you are getting a membership to the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club. Now what is the DNFFAC? It's your ticket to be one of the first gamers to play the demo of one of the most anticipated games in the past decade.
A jackalope has been spotted on the frontier, and like some sort of demon-horned Easter Bunny, it has been hiding free DLC in our Red Dead Redemption baskets. This new content will patch the game enabling players to see the outfits from other DLC like those found in the Liars and Cheats or Legends and Killers packs. There are also two new outfits that will grant special abilities in the single player campaign.
In a move that once again shows the good people at Valve don't like money, Left 4 Dead 2 is now available for the Mac. If you have L4D2 on the PC, then it will cost you exactly zero dollars. "If you already own it on the PC, then you own it on the Mac. All you need to do is load up on your Mac and start playing." Valve is just giving stuff away. And if it's not free, it's on sale. Read on to see the great deals. (Unless you only have Xbox LIVE. If so, prepare to choose ANGER.)
If there is any way to reach out to a gamer, it’s to merchandise their favorite things. Halo figurines, Dragon Age books, Resident Evil snacks/energy drinks (claiming to be T-virus antidote), etc. The list is fairly extensive. What would you like to see in with your game "stuff" from now on?
The votes have been tabulated, and the results are in: co-op rules. A few weeks ago, Xbox Live Gold members had the chance to vote for their choice of potential deals on Live content. The deal with the most votes was the DLC for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, including the 4 player online co-op addition, Onslaught mode. Starting on October 18, this pack will be available for 400 MS points, or $5. If you've been holding off on this awesome addition to the game, perhaps this deal will be enough to sway you. It's nice to see a co-op piece of content rising to the top of the polls!
It's not often we get to bring you new video game system announcements. It's even less often that such announcments aren't related to the big three of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. This rare occasion is the news of a new player in the handheld system arena from Panasonic (their first since the 3DO). Dubbed the Jungle, the device will focus on online multiplayer, namely MMOs. That sounds very co-op friendly, doesn't it? World of Warcraft in your pocket? Well, not yet; the Jungle is rumored to run on Linux. What we do know about the device is sparse at this point: a slick HD capable screen, a full QWERTY keyboard plus standard gaming buttons, wi-fi, and a nifty-keen clamshell design.
Four hosts enter Co-Opticast 52, only two remain when the dust settles. That's what happens when the Co-Opticrew tries to do something special for the latest episode of the Co-Opticast. Celebrating its two year anniversary Mike, Jim, Kat and Nick host an entertaining and technically challenged episode where all things co-op are discussed. Halo Reach? Yup. Game Delays? Yup. Randy Pitchford lovin? Yup. Crying babies? Yup. It's got it all. Thanks for two great years - here's to two more!
Media Molecule has released an official statement as to why Little Big Planet 2 has been delayed until January 2011, crediting the delay to making an experience worthy of the Little big Planet name. Basically, they were going to patch the game immediately, but not everyone has internet or connects their PS3 to the free network to receive the patch.
