Transformers games have been a real mixed bag, ranging from the awful 2007 movie tie ins all the way up to the sublime War for Cybertron. When we finished up the campaign in the latter, our thirst for Transformers was unquenched, and so we decided to rent Cybertron Adventures for the Wii.
Yes StarCraft 2 is still dominating the lives of a lot of the staff, and with good reason. We reviewed the game this week, and despite an average co-op score, the overall package is absolutely amazing. There's plenty of other gaming going on as usual - even old goodies like Gears of War 2 and Rock Band make an appearance.
EA Games would now like to invite the whole family to play together in the wonderful world of Create, where the players make the solutions, and the game. Players build their world and solve them together - some have compared this to the largely co-op game Little Big Planet, but it looks like Create is a bigger world that focuses much more on the players to make it work.
Right from the get go Hunted: The Demon's Forge was a game that intrigued us. After getting our hands on the game at E3 for some good ol' co-op action, we were quite impressed. With an expected Spring 2011 release for the game, we got a chance to ask some burning questions on the title with inXile
Last time we saw the #2 bad guy in Antaloor, a Mr. Sordahon, he was having some problems with a nagging boss and a friend who wasn't exactly pleased with his complimentary copy of Two Worlds. Trying his hand at other professions, like kindergarten, it seemed like Sordahon was doomed. Apparently depression set in because the latest promo video for Two Worlds 2 has our helmet wearing friend at the psychiatrists office - just don't discuss his mother.
OK folks, fair warning, this post contains spoilers, though we'll try to keep it as light as possible. Still with us? Good.
Conjecture and rumor are the bread and butter of gaming news, but they are often based on hidden truths. Therefore, when Computer and Video Games get excited about Batman: Arkham City being a co-op game you should take note. CVG base their thoughts on the cover designs of this month's Gameinformer Magazine, on which we see the Bat and the Cat together in less than perfect harmony. With Two Face and Mr Freeze already appearing in the game, this could leave Catwoman as a dubious ally. The relationship between the two characters has always been a strained one; enemies today, lovers the next. There is a distinct possibility that Batman would fight alongside her.
Everybody has to start somewhere, and the sailor speaking, trash talking, mercenaries of Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days. Sure, Kane and Lynch's home vidoes showing off the sensitive times in their lives aren't quite like any of ours, but it's still important to take a look at the roots of Kane and Lynch. For instance, there is quite a bit of gunfire, breaking glass, screaming men, blood - well, you get the picture.
After the fantastic news that Torchlight 2 will feature co-op, we've been jonesing for some details on it. PCGamer sat down with Max Schaefer and Travis Baldree of Runic Games to ask all the right questions about what to expect from Torchlight 2 in terms of class creation, co-op, and character customization. Torchlight was a fantastic release for PC gamers with simple looting, dungeon crawling, RPG action. The one thing it was missing frankly, was co-op capabilities.
The above image is not a screenshot. It's a promotional image, and it's a bit disingenuous. While Operation Flashpoint: Red River is sure to be very eye-catching and realistic...harrowing action and close calls like the one pictured are not a series trademark. Not by a long shot.
Tired of being called "Stranger"? Well, get used to it. Rockstar isn't letting Red Dead Redemption sit stale for too long. In fact, available right now is a title update sure to take the sting out of multiplayer; following close on its heels is the first premium downloadable content pack, affectionately known as "Legends and Killers".
If there's anything that was absolutely necessary in Dead Rising, aside from health items and weapons, it was the massive detailed map. Need to find a store with food? Got it. Need to check out a weapon stash? Got that, too. With Dead Rising 2 you don't exactly get a nice rural Colorado mall to explore, but a beautiful Nevada Fortune City Casino instead.
