Capcom has announced price and release date info for Final Fight: Double Impact on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Final FIght Double Impact features two co-op classics; Final Fight and Magic Sword. These arcade titles from the 1990's were known for their side scrolling beat em up style.
We told you earlier this week that Valve would be releasing a comic via xbox Live connecting the events of Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, and Left 4 Dead 2's upcoming DLC entitled "The Passing." We weren't very clear, however, what exactly the comic would cover. Now, after getting a surprising look into a major plot point of the Passing, we know. For those who don't mind knowing a spoiler, of sorts, about the events of the Passing, read on.
Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, a weekly piece that talks about industry stories that may or may not be related to co-op gaming.
Sony and Konami have announced a new limited edition green PSP bundled with the four player co-op Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker game. The bundle comes with a 2GB memory stick, download voucher for a movie off the PlayStation Network, and a unique piece of content for the game. The bundle weighs in at $199 and will be out when the game releases on June 8th.
GameTrailers posted a nice, long video interview last weekend with Splinter Cell: Conviction creative director Maxime Beland, who was quite eager to blast through a lot of the new features that would be delighting fans next month.
Bigger, badder, and the cleanest co-op Transformers has delivered to date. Transformers: War For Cybertron has everything a fan of the series could possibly want. Story that fills in the origins of our favorite Autobots and Decepticons, 3 player co-op, and transformations at the touch of a button. ArsTechnica.com was taken on a tour of the war-torn Cybertron, and brought back some details for us to enjoy.
Today, I'll share with you a harrowing tale of death-defying, madness-inducing consumerism at it's very worst: attempting to buy the AC/DC Rock Band Track Pack. On the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, 2008. At a Wal-mart Supercenter. At 4:30 in the morning!
Great music, quirky, awesome animations and art, 4 player co-op and aliens. What more do you need? Well, okay, we agree. There are some other elements that make or break a game, and we'll take a look into those elements with Square Off and let you know what we thought.
It's fair to say that many of us around Co-Optimus HQ (which will be undergoing a few renovations soon) are a wee bit excited about Splash Damage's and Bethesda's upcoming co-op title, Brink. After all, the last cinematic trailer we saw had us making up all new words to describe the game's co-op. Of course, while these kinds of details and reveals are nice, there's still been some questions about what players can expect out of the campaign. Gamespot Australia recently spoke with Richard Ham, the game's creative director, about the game's background, how the experience system works, and the two campaigns players can run through.
Earlier this week, Sol Survivor, the indie co-op tower defense title previously only available via XBox LIVE Indie Games, was brought to the PC through Steam and Impulse. This transition between gaming platforms is more than just a port, though, as the PC version comes with a few community demanded (and needed) enhancements. We've updated our previous Sol Survivor review with a new page that gives our impressions of this latest version.
What could be better than a spiritual successor to Black, one of the most interesting and downright fun single-player shooters from the last generation? A spiritual successor...with co-op.
