I still haven't checked out ARK: Survival Evolved, even though the idea of taming dinosaurs/mammoths and riding them does sound awfully appealing. The newest dinosaur has been revealed, the flying Quetzalcoatlus, and uh... you can put a gun platform on its back?! *runs off to download game*
The PC version of Sword Coast Legends arrives next week, and I'm getting kind of excited for the prospects of what the game could be. Namely, a way to conduct an entire D&D campaign (complete with DM) for a group of friends using familiar cRPG mechanics. In anticipation of its impending release, please enjoy these videos of a couple of the actors voicing some of the characters.
Rocket League looks to add the flying DeLorean to its vehicle-powered soccer game. The time machine will make an appearance on October 21st which is actually the date Marty McFly travelled to in Back to the Future, Part 2. The Back to the Future Car Pack will costs $1.99.
Activision and Treyarch have released a near four minute trailer for Shadows of Evil, the prologue for the Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies mode campaign. Set as if in a 1940s film, it will feature the voice acting talents of Jeff Goldblum, Ron Perlman, Heather Graham, Robert Picardo, and Neal McDonough. This is just one of the zombie survival co-op storyline experiences that Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be releasing. The additional one being titled “The Giant” will feature alternate versions of the original Zombies characters from Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
Microtransactions have been introduced in Destiny with its new 2.0.1 update. It’s been just over a year since the game was released and it looks like Bungie has decided to give its players the option to buy in game items with real money. The in game items can be purchased at the Eververse Trading Company in Destiny’s Tower where the new currency is titled silver. This new shop will offer "Emotes," which is the game's form of in-game gestures.
The next big play set for Disney Infinity 3.0, titled "Marvel Battlegrounds," is slated for release next spring and, as has been the trend thus far with these releases, will introduce a new gameplay mechanic. Specifically, the ability to team-up with friends to duke it out in an arena against other Marvel heroes/villains. The biggest news here is that this mode will support four-player local co-op, a series first.
Some years back, Mike and I checked out an action-RPG called Din's Curse. It was a "Diablo-clone" in all the best ways (before they started flooding the market post-Diablo 3) and had the distinct advantage at the time of being playable on the Mac. Years later, developer Soldak Entertainment is at it again with their latest offering, Zombasite,
At a rate only slightly faster than that of actual aeronautic engineering, Minecraft has finally given Survival Mode players a chance to soar around their maps and marvel at their sprawling fortresses and hilarious Simpsons statues. No longer must you clamber up the nearest mountain to snap a fancy photo of your Green Hill Zone replica. Instead, a simple hillside and the brand new cape will probably suffice.
Sometimes, you just need to step away from your desk, put down your controller, and wander into the Great Outdoors. Take in the fresh air, bathe in nature, and be sure to watch for out for those hideous, shambling ZEDs that infest the wilds. Oh, you didn't know about the zombies? Yeah. Apparently, "outside" is pretty dangerous. Just a heads up.
Crank up your Portal of Power, kids. The loudmouth villain Kaos has managed to lock all of the Skylanders out of the Skylands, and you'll need join up with some familiar friends to find a way back to the Skylanders Academy, rescue Master Eon, and launch a counterattack against the Darkness. Oh, and you'll probably have to buy a few extra to...
Every year, Co-Optimus participates in Extra Life, a 24-hour gaming marathon that raises money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This year is no different. We're pulling the team together again, and we're hoping to raise $2,500 for kids who need medical help. The donations go to kids who need treatments for scary diseases like cancer, kids injured in accidents, or premature babies who were born way too early. Hospitals can also choose to spend donations on state of the art facilities and equipment to serve local children even better.
It feels like this moment has been a long time coming. Broforce, the explosion-filled, side-scrolling action game, will finally leave its "Early Access" phase and will be fully released on Steam this Thursday, October 15. In celebration of this moment, Free Lives and Devolver Digital have released this "bro-tastic" ballad.
