Back in the early days of VR (2016), Arizona Sunshine made a name for itself as an exciting zombie shooter. This month, Vertigo Games finally released Arizona Sunshine 2 on Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and Steam VR. The sequel promises lots of zombie shooting with a helpful dog companion, a wicked sense of humor, and campaign and horde mode co-op.
It's always good news when a publisher brings its games to new platforms, especially when that publisher has lots of cool games to offer. German publisher ININ is known to publish a lot of great Japanese games on modern consoles, and they've just released a whopping six of their titles on Xbox. To celebrate, we're giving out four copies each of four of ININ's Xbox releases - that's 16 prizes in total! Update: The contest has ended! See winners at the bottom of this page.
Ask a dozen people, and 11 of them will tell you that the PlayStation 5 is not an attractive console. It's huge, awkward, and looks like a humidifier. One cool feature of the console's design, however, is the changeable cover. Replacing the shell in order to customize the console's appearance is surprisingly easy. One affordable re...
In the early 1980s, it was not uncommon to find console games that were heavily inspired by arcade games of the time. One such game was Astrosmash for the Intellivision console. It combined gameplay elements from Space Invaders and Asteroids, and was apparently well-liked by Intellivision players. This year, BBG Entertainment, makers of Dynablaster...
Roguelike shooters come in many shapes and sizes. The recently announced Atomic Picnic from Brazilian developer BitCake Studio and Mad Mushroom utilizes a Splatoon-like third-person perspective and some genuinely look-looking characters. Up to four online players will get to team up and blast away at waves of enemies in colorful environments. Things are still early, but it looks like a fun, frenetic, and challenging game, and it will be coming to Steam Early Access in the spring.
PowerWash Simulator from FuturLab is a surprisingly fun and chill game to play with friends on console and PC. How do you make all the hose blasting even more fun? With virtual reality, of course! PowerWash Simulator VR is out now on Meta Quest, and it promises even more cooperative dirt-busting thrills.
We're enjoying a Ghostbusters renaissance nowadays, with new movies on the horizon and multiple fresh video games to play. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed has some spooky co-op features, and now virtual reality platforms are getting in on the action as well. Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord from nDreams and Sony arrived on Meta Quest and PlayStation VR2 a short while ago, and it looks like an extremely immersive way to bust ghosts with friends.
Toplitz Productions' Medieval Dynasty just got a co-op update on Steam, and now the publisher has another co-op title in store for the future: Vampire Dynasty. This one comes from Polish developer Mehuman Games and will seemingly have less of a focus on survival mechanics. Up to four online co-op players will team up to explore an open world, fight vampire hunters, and work to ensure the supremacy of their vampire clan.
Medieval Dynasty, the medieval survival simulation from Render Cube and Toplitz, has been in early access since 2020, and leaving EA in 2021. Over the years, the game has grown quite a bit, but the latest update is its most significant. It adds a whole new map, playable female characters, and 4-player online co-op. The update is only available on Steam right now, but it will arrive on current-gen consoles and other PC storefronts next year.
Green Hell VR is the virtual reality version of the popular survival game, Green Hell, from Incuvo and People Can Fly. Co-op multiplayer has been a long-requested feature, which makes sense since the first game received co-op about a year after its release. Happily, Incuvo has finally shared some co-op details and a trailer for Green Hell VR. The co-op update will come to both the Meta Quest and PlayStation VR2 versions of the game sometime in 2024.
Raising cute little critters is inarguably a good time - just look at the Slime Rancher series for evidence of the pastime's popularity. Slime Rancher ain't co-op, though, so there's plenty of room for improvement. Time to Morp from Team Halfbeard and Yogscast Games is a game that does just that, letting four online or LAN co-op buddies team up to raise a bunch of cutesy morps in their own alien colony.
Last month, Italian developer Poncle promised that Vampire Survivors would be getting a new mode called Adventures, and that mode has now been added to the Xbox and Steam versions of the game. That would be exciting enough, but the developer also announced that new Last of Us-themed DLC called "Emergency Meeting" will be released on December 18. Vampire hunters will be busy this month!
