The first official mod for the Xbox One and PC versions of ARK: Survival Evolved has arrived. The "Center" map, which was designed by modder Ben Burkhart using official modding tools from Studio Wildcard, is now available for your dino-riding pleasure as a free update. What's more, you can enjoy this map with up to 100 of your friends!
Good news for all you Sword Coast Legends players out there. The free DLC, Rage of Demons, is now available on the PC. You shouldn't have to do anything special in order to access this content, it should just be added automatically. Anyone playing the title on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One can look forward to this content later this year.
Folks started taking back the streets of Philadelphia when Homefront: The Revolution arrived earlier this week, and Deep Silver/Dambuster have revealed some details on what's next for the title. The good news on the co-op front is that additional missions will be added to the Resistance Mode for free.
The next round of content for Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 (titled "Trouble in Zombopolis: Part One") will arrive sometime this summer. Along with a whole litany of bug fixes and character tunings, this free update will add two new characters, a new map, and a new mini-boss battle for that area.
Patch 1.01 for Alienation dropped on the PlayStation 4 on Monday. Much of this patch involves some bug fixes and gameplay tweaks, but it also adds a couple of new features, like being able to remove cores from your guns (previously you had to scrap the thing to get them back) and forming a squad of players before heading into a mission.
Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops was a bit of a different take on the series up until that point. Rather than looking at World War II or modern combat, it delved into the secretive and conspiratorial world of clandestine operations. It also laid the groundwork for the familiar zombie DLC campaign. For all you fans out there, you can now enjoy the game on your Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility.
I've always thought that the one thing missing from our regular Monday night streams was the ability for our audience to impact the game we're playing. EKO Software and 505 Games have been thinking the same thing as they've added Twitch interaction to How to Survive 2.
The free-to-play mech shooter, HAWKEN, may be enjoying some new life on the Xbox One. A Taiwanese game rating board had a listing for the title listed 505 Games as the publisher and Reloaded Games as the developer. No release date was given for the listing, nor has their been any comment from either the publisher or developer, so this is still within the realm of a rumor for now.
It was only just yesterday morning we unveiled Dead Effect 2, released on the PC, and coming soon to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Thanks to the quick response from developer BadFly Interactive, we were able to experience this video game last night on our normal Monday Night Streams.
A couple years ago, developer BadFly Interactive released a sci-fi/horror FPS title, Dead Effect, that wasn't too bad as far as space zombie shooters go. The team has been working ever since on the sequel, Dead Effect 2, to not only improve the overall experience, but to add some cooperative features as well.
When the title first launched on Windows 10, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition had a few problems. The biggest one that outraged the PC Master Race club was having the frame rate capped at just 30 FPS. I mean, what's the point of having a sick rig if games don't look any better than they do on a console?
8-Bit Armies is a solid RTS title that falls into the same vein as older RTS games like Command and Conquer. It forgoes the bells and whistles, i.e., there is no upgrade tree for units/buildings, there's only resource type to collect, in order to provide a more straightforward (and fun!) experience. If you missed it last Friday afternoon, Locke and I teamed up for some co-op challenges.
