If you don't know what Rockstar's Social Club is, it's the developers web extension of all their games. It's similar to what Bungie.net is for the Halo games. We've seen integration with Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, and now the latest open world game will join the pair with extended features.
Is there a rarer genre than the first-person brawler? How about a game where first-person melee combat not only works, but feels good? Chilean developer ACE Team's Zeno Clash is an extremely solid experience set in one of the most bizarre gameworlds I've seen in a long while.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was an excellent game by any account, but we couldn't help but feel the game's campaign needed a co-op element. While we won't be getting that anytime soon, EA is bringing us premium DLC for the game called Onslaught. Onslaught is a cooperative mode for four players on Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes and Nelson Bay.
E3 2010 is only a month away, and the Co-Opticrew is already in full "get ready" mode. We're feverishly scheduling appointments, planning interviews, and deciding on coverage of the co-op titles and gaming news that we want to bring you.
For some, Kane & Lynch was a so-so third-person shooter that was only made better as a result of the co-op, even if that rewarding co-op experience was hampered by a lack of online co-op. For many, though, Kane & Lynch will always be remembered for the fallout that resulted from Jeff Gerstmann's Gamespot review. The game's director, Karsten Lund, however, came away with a different feeling about the title - that it was an original IP for which a sequel was worth making and worth making right. MTV Multiplayer spoke with Karsten about Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days and what was on their list of improvements to make this time around.
Today's the day. Skating fans will finally be able to ollie, heelflip, darkside catch, and 360 flip, if Coach Frank has anything to say about it, and co-op skating fans will be able to do all of that with their friends as Skate 3 hit the store shelves today. To celebrate the game's release, we've got a special giveaway for one lucky community member. Want to know what it is and how to win? Keep reading after the (hippie) jump.
The day is finally here, after months of coverage, you'll finally be able to get your co-op paws on Lost Planet 2. Gracing the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the game features four player online co-op as well as 2 player local split screen through the entire campaign. You can find all of our coverage of Lost Planet 2 right here.
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter continues the story of Sam's adventures through time, and is a remade version of the original title in the Serious Engine 3. Devlolver Digital have gone and added a handful of new co-op modes as well as online versus modes to the package. So how does it play?
Raiden Fighters Aces is actually three games in one, with classic Raiden franchise games Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters II: Operation Hell Dive, and Raiden Fighters Jet. The game offers two player local co-op play as well as online leaderboards. Be sure to check out our review of the game from last year if you're at all interested in this one.
The beta for Tidalis, a unique co-op puzzler from Arcen Games, launched a few weeks back - but upon initial launch it was missing several cooperative features. Arcen has announced that the latest version includes multi-well co-op play as well as several other improvements to the game.
Besides the teaser trailer, we really don't know much of anything about the next Call of Duty title called Black Ops. Sure we can speculate based on the flashy imagery, but a lot of our questions are still unanswered. USA Today steps up to the plate with an interview with the game's developer Treyarch, and studio head Mark Lamia.
When it comes to licensed games from popular film or other medium, you can consider most of us gamer types to be a bit skeptical. We recently took a look at the PSN co-op title Kick-Ass (of movie and comic book fame) to decide for ourselves which category this beat 'em up brawler fits in.
