Good afternoon! The Co-opticrew is recovering from the PAX West News-A-Thon, and to reinforce the fact that we're all totally human and not at all cyborg journalists attached to a central hivemind, we're each doing so in our own, unique ways.
A little over a year after its release, the console version of PAYDAY 2 for the PlayStation 4 is getting a bulk of the content that's been available on the PC for the past few years. The good news for everyone that owns the Crimewave Edition is that most of the content will be free.
Ubisoft's 30th Anniversary celebrations continue with this month's free game (on the PC): The Crew. Gather up three of your best friends and drive across the contiguous United States as you take on story missions or just see who can make it from New York to California first.
And lo, the number of shmup titles has grown by one this day (well, technically, it was a few days ago). Indonesian developer Magesoft just got their first game, Burst Fighter, Greenlit on Steam and is looking at a 2016 release date.
TT Games is bundling LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 together into one collection for the PlayStation 4. If you missed these titles during their original release, then you can snag LEGO Harry Potter Collection next month
Running with Rifles is a game that is perhaps a little too old school in its ideology. The method by which you have to setup a co-op match alone makes me feel like I should be using a 56k modem. Anton penned our written co-op review, but he also shared a few thoughts in video format, including a helpful "how to setup a co-op match" s...
Running With Rifles is a curious game is a little hard to describe accurately.

From that description and the name, you might think this is a twin stick shooter, but it's not....
As reported by Major Nelson himself, the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility list continues to grow. Three new games were added in recent days, but let's be honest with each other, we only care about the ones that let us goof around with a few friends while beating up on an artificial intelligence.
During this year's E3, Microsoft revealed the "Xbox Play Anywhere" program. This program allows players to buy a digital copy of select Xbox One titles and also get it through the Windows 10 store to play on PC (or vice versa), and it also maintains your progress on both platforms so you can pick up and "play anywhere." A few of these Play Anywhere titles are now available for pre-order on the Windows 10 store, including Gears of War 4 and Halo Wars 2.
One of my most anticipated titles coming this fall is Space Hulk: Deathwing. I love the Warhammer 40k IP and I'll gladly take any chance I can get to dive into that universe. The game is slated for a November release so with just a couple months left until that day, developer Streum On Studio has unveiled the four Terminator classes players will be able to select in co-op mode.
Good news for all our European readers. The stealth action/heist game, Filthy Lucre, made its debut on the PlayStation Store yesterday and should be available for purchase as we speak. For everyone in the States, we'll have to wait a little bit longer.
This past weekend was a pretty big one for gaming events. PAX West was the biggest one, but Activision and Inifinity Ward held their own event, Call of Duty: Experience 2016, as well.
