So, there's this planet, see, and it's sort of lost. You might even call it Lost Planet 2. And it's cold everywhere, except for where it's hot, and there are pirates and mechs. Oh, and giant freakin' monsters who ooze orange goo from their orifices. It's not strange at all, what are you thinking about?
It's funny how playing games with people of different ages yields a different experience. If Xbox Live has taught us anything, it's that maturity doesn't necessarily come with age. There's still distinct differences in how the games are played. My recent outing with my nephew highlighted this.
The Fragile Alliance mode is making a return in Kane and Lynch 2. If you never played this co-op-ish multiplayer mode in the first game - here's how it works. Your team of four is set to rob a bank, but breaking in is only half the act. Once you snatch the cash you have to make a clean escape and make it to the getaway van.
Ask any self respecting geek these days to quote a line from a Monty Python movie, and it should roll of the tongue faster than asking anyone what their favorite color is. I myself own three different versions of the Holy Grail on DVD and the entire TV show to boot, if that tells you anything of my admiration for the old comedy group. The British troupe were a staple to many a comedic diet, so it's good to hear that John Cleese will be joining the cast of Fable 3 as your faithful butler.
After a long wait, the second expansion for the popular Duels of the Planeswalkers XBLA game was released yesterday. Unfortunately, those who logged in early in eager anticipation of slinging new spells were denied. The expansion pack effectively broke the game, keeping the player stuck in a login/out loop. Magic fanboys and girls everywhere were up in arms, but after a few hours, a patch was released that fixed the issue. I was able to get the expansion up and running, but it required a download of a patched version of the entire game, at least for me when I tried last night.
For those of you who haven't heard yet, two more characters have been announced for the upcoming Transformers game, Transformers: War for Cybertron: Autobot Silverbolt and Decepticon Brawl. We've already told you a little bit about the abilities of Warpath and Barricade as well as Ironhide and Skywarp. Here's what Silverbolt and Brawl have in store for us:
It's time once again for our world famous Co-Op Nights, and this time we're getting a bit lost. Lost Planet 2 that is. We're gonna grapple our way into the game's four player co-op campaign with the rest of the Xbox Community to celebrate Capcom's game.
We've always said on Co-Optimus that communication is key to a good co-op experience, so why not have it look and sound good too? Today we review Astro's newest headset, the A30. Providing options for voice control and compatiblity with the PC, 360 and PS3 - we'll see if it's worth the price.
Donnie Darko 3 took an unexpected twist
While you may have already seen the game in motion thanks to the first trailer, these screenshots from Little Big Planet 2 give you a good idea of the graphical upgrade the game has gotten from it's predecessor. Everything looks so full of life and texture, like you could just grab it and pull it off the screen.
Multiplayer shooter Combat Arms has hit an important milestone, one we told you about in our preview of the new version of the game. Right on schedule, Nexon has reached over 200 different firearms available in the game, all usable and purchasable by either in game credit or actual cold hard cash.
This is Kat "Shadokat" Pawlowski reporting in for Marc "Djinniman" Allie, who is facing an unforeseen crisis at the moment. He has fallen pray to the realm of single player like so many around him, playing the Iron Man 2 game (which should have had co-op because Warmachine, duh) instead of co-op. I'm here to share the importance of co-op gaming caused by this single-player crisis.
