Spelunker HD is already available on the Japanese PlayStation Network, and the remake of the classic NES game has garnered some fairly solid buzz. Now we have word that the game will be making its way stateside, along with the included 6 player online co-op mode!
Remember how pissed off you were when you found out you could only get Juggernaut for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 if you preordered from Gamestop? Remember how you wanted to smash your head through a wall in anger? Please remain calm, we're about to tell you how you can stick it to the man and get Juggernaut for yourself without setting a foot inside Gamestop.
After almost 4 months of waiting, PlayStation owners will finally get their hands on the three player co-op title Trine. Developed by FrozenByte Software, the game is a physics based puzzle/platformer that puts players in the role of the Wizard, Thief, or Knight. We really enjoyed the PC game, and have high expectations for the PSN version - we just wish the extra time was used to add online co-op. Sadly, it's still missing. Last we heard the game is priced at $20.
We got our hands on SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo 3 at PAX, confirming 4-player co-op both online and locally (ad hoc) and thoroughly enjoying our limited time with the title. We did not have a release date, however.
Lats spring, to coincide with the most recent (and awesome) Trek film, Star Trek D-A-C hit Xbox Live Arcade. A team-based shoot em up, with a decidedly old school arcade feel, we didn't think too highly of the game, particularly the co-op. Now the game is headed to release on the PC and the Playstation Network, in November, just in time for the DVD release of the film.
For those of you that pre-ordered Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, you now have access to an exclusive beta of the game which features a few multiplayer modes. Among those modes is the new co-op mode called Gold Rush. The goal of this mode is to steal a treasure and bring it to a capture point, all the while avoiding waves of enemies. Each successive capture increases the difficulty and number of enemies. Like other survival and Horde type mode, we found this to be quite entertaining.
It's time the PC got some balls, Madballs that is. Launching today on Steam, Madballs in...Babo Invasion brings four player co-op action to a whole new set of gamers. The PC version of the game is almost identical to the Xbox Live version, though there's a few tweaks under the hood and more graphic options.
After an exciting performance of "I want to Hold your Hand" out of Billy and the Co-Opticrew at PAX 2009, it was time for the band to break up and head their respective ways. Sadly when I arrived home from the show there was no Beatles to be found in my house. This simply did not sit well with my wife, and after several not so subtle hints - including her telling our 6 month old to ask me for game - it was time to trade in some games and pick up the Fab 4's videogame debut.
It's time to tackle the Amazon jungle with Raven Squad, the hybrid FPS/RTS title from Evolved games. We head deep with the 2 player co-op mode and come out covered in...something.
Microsoft launched their latest social media player yesterday with the ZuneHD. In 16GB and 32GB varieties, the system packs an OLED multi-touch screen, accelerometer, HD Radio as well as sleek design. Soon the system will be sync'd up to your Xbox 360 for a host of other features.
EA has announced a brand new version of their SKATE franchise, to no one's surprise it's called SKATE 3. The unique feature of the game will be a complete social aspect where players can create crews of skaters that compete in challenges and missions. This co-op mode is a first for any skate based game, though there's no word as to how many players you can have in your crew
