Upstart independant German game developer Headup Games has announced their first title named GREED. The game is a gritty action RPG set in a sci-fi universe with a story that is said to be very "mature" and "adult." I'm not sure what that means exactly, but the screenshots remind me a bit of Space Siege.
A few months ago we told you about a brand new laptop from Dell and Alienware that would make your friends jealous. The inner geek and hardware addict in me couldn't withstand it, and I decided to bite the bullet and order one. I figured it would be a great opportunity for the site to review the product and expand our co-op territory a bit.
Codemasters has released a new trailer called Fear and Anticipation for the upcoming Operation Flashpoint sequel called Dragon Rising. The new trailer takes a look at a night mission, where you and your co-op crew will be facing enemies in the dark. Presumably this is the "fear" part of the trailer.
Lets face it, the Wii's graphics leave a lot to be desired for gamers with shiny HDTVs. It especially rings true if your gaming is primarily done on the 360 and PS3 - only to move to the Wii and see a jaggie mess on your 52" beauty. But there is hope!
We enjoyed Killing Floor, that's a fact. But there were some issues with the game, mainly little nagging bugs that hampered our co-op experience from near perfection. Today the floor is a lot cleaner thanks to a major patch released by Trip Wire interactive. The patch fixes around twenty bugs and glitches, as well as adds a dozen or so features to the game.
When avatars were announced for the Xbox 360 Dashboard update last year, many hardcore gamers groaned. Yet, over a year later those same folks have meticulously crafted an avatar that's a mirror image of themselves. With the upcoming dashboard update our avatars will be even more customizable with objects and set pieces for our avatar to interact with.
It appears the impossible has happened. The original Left 4 Dead dominated the news last year, but Left 4 Dead 2 seems to be getting even more coverage. Of course, not all of it has been good, as many petition writing fans can attest. The controversy doesn't appear to have altered gamers' anticipation, according to Eurogamer. Preorders for the game are at double the rate of the original at this point in time.
There's something strange in Xbox Live's hood - it's our next co-op night! We're getting together for our next official Co-Op night on Xbox Live with Peter, Ray, and the whole Ghostbusters crew. Want to join up? Read on to find out how.
The GameVideos crew took the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled for a spin through the wayback machine to see how it compared to it's arcade original. The video shows the games running side by side with each other, which gives you an idea just how far this game has come.
What you see above is a screen grab from the "controls" video for Dead Space Extraction, the two player co-op title coming out for the Wii this September. What you might not garner from the screen grab is a unique cooperative moment in the game.
We've had our eye on this article for quite some time, and since our resident classic co-op guy (that would be me!) has been away from his beloved MAME cabinet this week, the time is now right. TechRadar's The History of Co-Op Gaming is an excellent read for any fan of co-op.
