I must apologize for the rather misleading title. While Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter is indeed coming to Xbox Live Arcade on the 22nd of next month, using the phrase "headed" was probably a poor choice. Why? Well, because of the headless, yet still screaming bomb-carrying berserkers, that's why! They aren't really "headed" anywhere, are they?
Rockstar is letting us know that there is very little redemption in Red Dead Redemption as far as cheating is concerned. Tomorrow (Aug. 24th), the developer will be banning any and all Xbox 360 gamertags and Playstation Network IDs found with hacked game saves.
It's an (almost) all-news episode, since Nick and Mike have to wrap up both Gamescom AND Quakecon, as well as discuss Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (yay) and Kane & Lynch 2 (not so yay). Those rascally Patapons make several guest appearances throughout the podcast. Mike also manages to screw up a news story about Brink preorder bonuses, but it's tough keeping track of such things while being attacked by adorable shadow tribesmen. Outro: Anamanaguchi - Blackout City
It’s been a long-running battle of fans based on a lot of nonsense and personal preference, but how do you choose which system to buy a game on? Content available? Support? Online connectivity? Or are you one that consults all of your friends before coming to a decision on which system to use?
Bethesda and Splash Damage have just released the third (Episode 1 | Episode 2) developer diary for Brink. The focus is on the lines being blurred between a single player story based game and a cooperative and multiplayer game. We're told Splash Damage wanted to convey the pacing and story elements of a single player game but extend that to all of Brinks game modes seamlessly.
It was February of this year that we told you that Halo Reach would have full matchmaking support in both Firefight and the co-op campaign. At the time it was (obviously) unconfirmed. Now we have official confirmation straight from Bungie's website of what we all hoped for. A lot of folks missed it due to it being a short and to the point answer in an otherwise giant wall of text.
If you read our site via RSS you may have noticed a sudden influx of co-op game additions to our database. I know that's not something everyone wants to see - and I'm sorry about that - but we had a backlog of quite a few co-op games that needed to be added to the database and finally got a man on the job after slacking for months. We get dozens of tips on co-op games a week and we are careful with researching and adding submissions to ensure it's a true co-op experience.
Admit it, you loved Deathspank in spite of its somewhat lacking co-op. The brilliant co-op title really blew us away in terms of humor and gameplay, so we’re excited to hear about a sequel to be released next month. Yep, that was quick.
Publisher Atari and developer Cryptic Studios (developer of MMOs Star Trek Online, Champions Online, and City of Heroes/Villians) have announced development of a new co-op RPG title, simply entitled Neverwinter. Taking place in the world of Dungeons and Dragons, the game will coincide with the release of a new book trilogy (the first book being Gauntlgrym) by R.A. Salvatore as well as a tabletop RPG by Wizards of the Coast.
It looks like we're on the cusp of some new DLC for Crackdown 2 as Microsoft has just announced the details of two separate packs coming soon for the four player co-op title. Called Toy Box, the pack will add a brand new Keys to the City mode to Crackdown 2, a jetpack for maxed out Agents, and a vehicle tag multiplayer mode for versus play.
We've got a brand new trailer today showing off DJ Hero 2's multiplayer modes. Only one of those modes is a co-op mode and this time, instead of a guitar and turntable combo - we have two turntables and a microphone. This party style mode allows drop in and drop out play and looks like it'll be a solid addition to the game.
