Dead Space Extraction for the Wii is two player co-op title being shown on the San Diego Comic-Con show floor. The folks at Game Videos managed to snag some footage of it in action. The game looks gorgeous and seems to have a pretty frantic pace to it. I think this might be one of those must own Wii titles that a lot of folks overlook.
The San Diego Comic-Con doesn't offically start until today, and all attendees will get their chance to check out the latest level from Left 4 Dead 2 called Swamp Fever. But a lucky few, oh those lucky few, they got to check the game out last night. More importantly they got to film them playing the game last night - and promptly uploaded it to the interwebs!
The San Diego Comic-Con has been a reliable source of gaming news in the past few years, and this one's no different. PlayStation 3 owners rejoice, you're finally going to be able to play one of last year's finest co-op experiences! Gamespot had some hands-on experience on the SDCC floor and chimes in:
What do you get when you combine a classic 80's franchise based on deformed and demented nerf balls with a cult classic PC top down shooter? You get Madballs in...Babo: Invasion for the Xbox Live Arcade. We take this four player co-op shooter for a roll around the block in our latest co-op review.
Left 4 Dead was covered in January by Blake "broodax" Corner, a previous staff member and current student with over 100 news posts to his credit. Seven months later, Co-Optimus is still rockin' Left 4 Dead as a solid and fun co-op title. Monday night, I took my younger brother for a spin through the No Mercy campaign for some Achievements and bloody survival mayhem.
In what can only be described as an inexplicable twist, it appears that the controversial art style of Diablo 3 has been copied for upcoming music game Band Hero. Rainbows, pastels, and even a healthy dose of pink hues adorn the official Band Hero site. We've got a few initial reactions from fans of the music game genre.
Tripwire Interactive has announced the first piece of DLC for The Killing Floor on the PC. The six player co-op shooter is getting a new campaign map called Foundry which pits players against the zombie like creatures in an old Iron Works building.
Co-op gamers really enjoy Little Big Planet - slapping friends, building levels, and getting additional unlockables in co-op specific areas. Little Big Planet has since gone portable, and we've taken a look at about 2 minutes of PSP play time. While carrying over the things that made Little Big Planet wonderful, the portable version seems to be lacking a few of the key control components. You're still able to build levels through co-op, and play together - which are both important aspects that make Little Big Planet what it is.
UFO Interactive has announced a limited edition of Raiden IV today. There's actually two versions of the limited edition - one exclusive to Gamestop.
Next week Epic Games will be releasing a few pieces of Gears of War 2 content. Included in with a package of multiplayer maps called Dark Corners, Road to Ruin is a brand new single player chapter that was cut from the original game. What makes the content unique is the fact that there's two different ways to play through it.
Microsoft's next big dashboard update is set to go live in just a few weeks, August 11th to be exact. The update is going to add a host of features to the dashboard including performance improvements, sorting options and other goodies.
The original Serious Sam is a really good co-op title, and we are quite fond of it. When the HD remake of the game was announced, there was much hooping and hollering here at Co-Optimus HQ. Serious Sam 3 is currently in development, and considering the winning combination of humor, over the top carnage, and a unique art style in previous games, we've been keeping a close eye on it.
