Earlier this week we posted a rumor that the latest issue of Game Informer would reveal all the details of Dead Rising 2, and unveil the fact the game has a cooperative mode. Well, the latest issue has hit the Co-Optimus HQ and we've scoured the article for details. Co-Op Confirmed.
If you haven't played Battlefield: Bad Company 2, you're missing a good game. Of course, it's an acquired taste, but there's only one way to acquire it. This month we take a look at the sniper class in Bad Company 2 and why it's so different from other games.
Normally, a high-profile game is hyped to the point of lunacy...especially when downloadable content and special features are being prepared being the scenes. In a surprising move, Ubisoft has managed to sneak in weekly free content for Splinter Cell: Conviction.
Tonight is your Splinter Cell: Conviction Co-op night. Tactical stealthy Sam Fisher gets his night with a buddy, and so do you. A few of us are stuck waiting on a shipment of our copy of the game, so we're left out. Never fear, we get a second chance to play together and it's free-er.
During PAX East, we heard from a couple of the community managers from EA that a demo for Skate 3 would be available on XBLA and PSN on April 15. Well, today is the day and skateboarding fans everywhere can check out the latest in the Skate franchise for themselves. While the demo is a good length and offers plenty to do (a tutorial plus 10 challenges and a few online multiplayer modes), it's a shame that it doesn't allow you to call up some of your friends to skate around and participate in challenges together. Still, May 11 isn't that far away and this is one of the few demos I've played where you get a pretty good feel of what the rest of the game will be like.
The Original Söldner-X: Himmelssturmer has possibly the longest and hardest name to say for a side scrolling shooter ever. Seriously, it sounds like you have a mouth full of hot taco beef and tried to recite Shakespeare. But there's a sequel now, one that isn't as hard to pronounce, it's called Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype and it's an upgrade from it's predecessor in a handful of ways.
Final Fight Double Impact represents a good value, with all sorts of nifty bells and whistles adding to the enjoyment of what is already a strong Co-Op Classic. Or, rather, TWO Co-Op Classics.
According to a CVG interview, Crackdown 2 producer Peter Connely said the game will feature "thousands of onscreen enemies" at once.
Splinter Cell Conviction is out this week, and with it comes loads of co-op play. Seriously, Ubisoft jam packed this game with a co-op campaign and a handful of replayable challenge style co-op missions. So while everyone is complaining the game is only 5 hours long, they seem to be neglecting the meat of the package.
We're happy to announce a brand new contest in partnership with Split Reason Clothing. The idea is simple - we want you to design your own t-shirt based around the theme of co-op gaming. You'll have a chance to win some great prizes, and maybe even have your t-shirt published!
We recently spoke with the Dungeon Fighter Online's associate producer, Luis Reyes, about what inspired them to release a 2D beat 'em up in a market space filled with World of Warcraft clones, what games inspired them, and get some exclusive details about a new feature that enhances the co-op.
