With just a month to go before release, it's a shock that anything has stayed under wraps for Fable III for this long. The new buzz about Fable III is the immense amount of fame-laced voice talent as the various characters you'll encounter in the new Albion. Well, by "buzz" we really mean "proof" in the form of a rather amusing video.
It's that time again. Time to take another long look at Left 4 Dead 2 poster art for a delicious taste of the upcoming DLC, The Sacrifice. This pack is a prequel to The Passing DLC that came out earlier this year, in which the new survivors ran into the original pack of four (including one tragic demise).
If you're looking to get your zombie killing fix, and lets face it, who isn't - today's co-op release is right up your alley. Capcom's Dead Rising 2 finds its way to North American store shelves complete with online two player co-op. The reviews around the web are starting to trickle in, we'll have the Co-Optimus one on Monday, but overall they've been pretty positive.
The problem when it comes to the Fall gaming season is there's just too many good game to buy. That's when many gamers turn to pre-owned titles or rental services like Gamefly. Gamefly is the oldest and most popular of these with many of our Co-Optimus members satisfied with their service.
One game that managed to slip under our radar, most likely thanks to the 200 Million Dollar juggernaut Halo Reach blocking its path, is Phantasy Star Portable 2. Both games were actually released on the same day. The sequel to the first Phantasy Star Portable title, PSP2 fixes one huge problem we had with the original PlayStation Portable title - online play. The original title only feature local wireless play while the sequel supports full four player co-op via the internet.
DJ Hero 2 is headed your way next month, but we've got a new gameplay video for you to check out right now. It's all about the details of the revamped Freestyle mode, and details all the options players will have at their literal fingertips. Crossfading, scratching, and sampling are all available, letting players mix their music creatively without worrying about gameplay elements at all. This gives a more realistic DJ experience, where the player is actually using the controller as an instrument. There's also a tidbit about two-player co-op Freestyle, where you and a friend can draw inspiration from each other to create the perfect mix. Definitely worth checking out if you are a DJ Hero fan.
It looks like January is becoming the new November as another game is being delayed from its previous Fall release until early next Winter. We just received word from publisher Southpeak that Two Worlds 2 is being delayed until January 2011. We had our reservations about the title at E3 back in June, saying we thought it'd need a bit more than 4 months in the oven - and thankfully - it looks like we'll get our wish.
Halo: Reach continues its Xbox Live dominance, and Campaign Matchmaking is on the way. Bungie has posted some incredible numbers, despite what their own "Players Online" counter will tell you. Anyone who has played Reach lately has probably seen the online players number in the triple digits. This number might be slightly off, since the online player counter seems to have a half-million point swing. That's a heckuva swing. Never mind that now, here comes the co-op news.
If you're addicted to Bungie's credit system in Halo Reach, you've probably been paying close attention to the daily and weekly challenges they put out in the game. These challenges provide a ton of bonus credits for those that complete them and to this point, Bungie has done a pretty good job of balancing these between all the game modes including single player, versus, and co-op.
A little recon birdie has recently been by the Gamestop website to check out the Call of Duty: Black Ops strategy guide. BradyGames' Call of Duty Black Ops Limited Edition Official Strategy Guide has several features, but one in particular caught our eye. Hint: It's the one about co-op and Nazi Zombies.
While the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 have already flown their way onto their respective consoles, the PC version of the four player aerial combat shooter have gone MIA. The original release date for the game was tomorrow, that's September 28th, but it appears that Ubisoft have sent out emails to those that pre-ordered stating a new launch date of November 16th.
