We rather enjoyed Space Invaders Extreme on the Xbox Live Arcade, especially the four player cooperative mode. It's oddly satisfying blasting those 8-bit baddies into pixelated pieces to the thumping soundtrack of techno.
After yesterday's Xbox Live and Xbox.com downtime, which lasted just under 24 hours, members were told not to expect any updates. And while it was partially true, there are no new features on Xbox Live or the Dashboard, Xbox.com got a pretty nice overhaul.
Ladies and Gentleman, start your itty-bitty engines! Burnout Paradise: Big Surf Island DLC not only includes an all new, gigantic, stunt-loaded Island for you to explore, but some more cars to use, as well! A lot of us drooled over the Legendary Car Pack that was for sale to download at $8, with a boatload of shiny new cars for the game. Well, Big Surf Island gives us a miniaturized version of a few of those cars, in the Toy Legendary Car Pack that comes with your purchase of Big Surf Island at $13!
The official Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 website has released a new 3D screenshot from the upcoming game featuring Deadpool and Iron Fist. MUA 2 is set to combine super hero (and villain) powers together to form unique attacks in the most co-op way we know.
Unless someone at Capcom has gone completely batty, Playstation 3 owners can expect the four-player co-op shooter Lost Planet 2 to arrive sometime after the Xbox 360 release. This has been confirmed via Sony's E3 keynote, and now by Capcom's official site.
The Co-Opticast can legally drink this week, and the lack of campaign co-op in Ghostbusters might just drive us to doing so! Speaking of that, Mike rants at great length about misplaced resources and Nick chimes in with his hands-on impressions of Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Mix in a liberal amount of co-op news and you've got our latest episode.
Just a friendly reminder that Xbox Live is currently down for maintenance. The service may be down for up to 24 hours. The outtage is to prepare for a bunch of the upcoming features Microsoft announced for Xbox Live at their E3 2009 press conference.
It's time to strap on our unlicensed nuclear accelerators, and clear our minds as Ghostbusters the Videogame hits the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PS2 this week. There's also a PC version coming out, which we originally thought had co-op, but reports are coming in that's simply not the case.
Right now we all should have been knee deep in xenomorph carcasses. Aliens Colonial Marines was originally planned for an early June release, but has since all but disappeared from release schedules. Instead we saw publisher Sega choosing to hype up a brand new, and non co-op, Alien vs. Predator title. We feared the worst, thinking the four player co-op shooter from Gearbox was canceled. Thankfully that's not the case.
The Zombie Apocalypse, that is. Or, should we say "another" Zombie Apocalypse? Ready or not, here they come to bite, swipe, moan, and growl their way onto your Xbox LIVE Arcade or PSN account. While looking at The Zombie Apocalypse, you'll be heavily reminded of your time in Left 4 Dead, only with a requirement to survive for as long as possible (up to 55 days) instead of simply making it to a rescue vehicle.
Stow those poly dice, fire your GM, and warm up your computer for some new "tabletop "action! Silver Style has adapted the popular German tabletop game, Das Schwarze Auge into a phenomenal looking action RPG now dubbed The Dark Eye: Demonicon. Since we haven't had much information state-side on this title, Gamebanshee sat down with Silver Style's developer Carsten Strehse for some details.
Battleforge has had quite the wild ride in it's two months of existence. The game launched back in April to great reviews, but users and reviewers complained about the initial costs combined with the costs of booster packs. EA responded shortly after dropping the price, and then more recently cutting the price all together.
