Like many youths on the mean, winding streets of Bland County, Virginia, my capacity to have fun centered around creating fun for myself. Friends usually lived far beyond walking distance, and getting to see them was an event saved for weekends, summer camps, or Boy Scout meetings. Thus, keeping myself entertained meant playing games an...
Last night the Co-opticrew took to the latest update of the beta version of Orcs Must Die! Unchained - the free to play sequel to one of our favorite co-op games, Orcs Must Die! 2. The game is split into two modes, with one being a competitive MOBA style game and the other more traditional OMD style survival. It's the latter we hit up.
When the game was first revealed during E3, it appeared that Omega Force's next title, Attack on Titan, would be a single-player only affair. Today, Koei Tecmo has revealed Scout Mode, a mode separate from the main campaign that will support up to four players.
While a significant portion of the gaming populous has moved on from Turtle Rock Studio's shooter, Evolve, the developer has not abandoned it. In fact, they're hoping to bring some attention back to the game with the release of Evolve Stage 2 on PC, a free-to-play retooling of the original.
One of Rockstar's lesser known titles is getting brought into the current generation of consoles. The Warriors is now available on the PlayStation 4 as a part of their "backwards compatibility" program for Playstation 2 games.
Some sad news for everyone in Japan who's still playing and enjoying LittleBigPlanet content. A post on the Japanese PlayStation blog (and then translated by NeoGAF) stated that the servers for the original title, its two sequels, the karting game, and portable/Vita version will all be shutdown on July 31st.
If you were to ask me what one Rockstar game I would like to play again/see a sequel to, I'd interrupt you before you even finished the question. The answer is Red Dead Redemption, and based on recent sales numbers for the game, I'm not the only that feels that way. Part of my wish will come true soon enough as the game will be added to the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility list this Friday, July 8.
When a Valve employee posted a tutorial on how to import Source assets into the Destinations platform, one screenshot in particular caught the attention of many. Specifically, there was a folder titled "left4dead3."
Celebrate the gaming lull that is the month of July by picking up a few titles on the cheap thanks to Microsoft's "Ultimate Game Sale." The sale kicked off earlier this week and features more than a few co-op titles, like Battleborn, Assassin's Creed: Unity, and Tom Clancy's The Division, at a discount ranging from 20% up to 50% off.
Descendent Studios has been hard at work reviving Descent, the beloved six degrees-of-freedom shooter that first saw release in the mid-90s. After a successful Kickstarter campaign last year, Descent: Underground launched on Steam's Early Access last October with just a handful of the planned/promised features. One of those features, co-op, will see release soon.
Before M$ had the idea to give away a couple of 'free' games every month, PlayStation were offering the service. Yes, this may be because PS+ is a paid service, but a game for $0(ish) is nothing to be scoffed at. The protagonists of the Saints Row series are used to taking things for nothing, so don't feel bad that in July you will get Saints Row: Gat out of Hell for nada.
Halo 5: Guardians launched as what was arguably the weakest co-op experience for the series. Despite supporting four player co-op in the campaign, the game lacked local couch co-op for the very first time in any Halo game on Microsoft's console. Combined with the missing Firefight or Spartan Ops co-op mode, players were very limited in the time they could spend with their friends in a non-competitive setting.
