I remember back in college when Flash-based games were the big thing to kill time in between classes. Many of those turned into now well-known genres, like tower defense, while others became entire games in their own right. Nerdook Productions Vertical Drop Heroes HD falls into the latter category as it jumps from the browser to the desktop....
Now that we've had time to recover from accidentally electrocuting each other a trillion times in Magicka, let's move onto Arrowhead Studio's next game, Helldivers. The Sony platform exclusive is headed to us sometime this summer, so we might as well start working on those apology cards for blowing our buddies up every 15 seconds with a poorly timed grenade.
Following April's "oops we broke it now things should be fixed" Update 15, May's Update 16 can finally resume the long process of catching Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition up with the PC version of the game. Or... it could fix some other broken things, either way is fine.
How do you update a game that looks like it could be at home on an Atari console so it looks gorgeous on next-gen hardware? Let's ask Metanet! The team has been hard at work on N++, an updated and prettified version of the ultra-tough platform game that's been rattling around for several years. And you know what? It actually does look pretty good.
Over the past year, I’ve become greatly involved in tabletop RPGs. I am a Gamemaster (GM) for two Pathfinder groups (one weekly, one monthly) and I have a Player Character (PC) in a monthly Dungeon World group. I view all of these sessions as cooperative experiences. In this editorial, we’ll be looking at how to facilitate a co-op exper...
Hop and stomp gameplay starring a lizard and a panda. Makes perfect sense! Recently announced by Flying Wild Hog studios, Juju and Peyo is an upcoming retro-themed platform game that's more colorful than a mantis shrimp's crayon collection. It's got co-op, too, which is another reason why we're looking forward to it!
The crew is back together after a 3 week hiatus and there's a ton of news to talk about. What's on tap? We've got everything from Halo 5 to Skylander's announcements and much more. We also talk about the games we've been playing, the games that have inspired our love of co-op and not one...but two voicemails. Oh...and don't forget our new badass intro.
Last week, Microsoft made a huge announcement regarding a main component of Xbox One's hardware. Very soon, a new version of the Xbox One without Kinect hardware will be available for purchase.
Insomniac Games is setting to do something ridiculous (again), bringing their hyper stylized gameplay and visuals to the forefront of Sunset Overdrive. In this gameplay preview, Ted Price, Drew Murray, and Marcus Smith give us some insight into their Xbox One exclusive title.
Tozai Games is releasing a compliation of the first two R-Type games on PSN today. Called R-Type Dimensions players can get their hands on the classic side scrolling arcade SHMUP. If the name sounds familiar, another version of the game was released back in 2009 on Xbox Live Arcade. Sadly the online co-op mode that was present in that version isn't present here, instead you are relegated to two player local co-op.
Put on your party hats and fire wildly into a crowd of shambling horrors, preferably in slow motion. Killing Floor has just celebrated its fifth year since release, and Tripwire Interactive has scoured their databases to give us some stats on their zombie-slaughtering co-op survival horror. And really, who doesn't love huge info ...
Are you longing to relive the magic of those original Halo games, yet your cherished copies were stolen by wolves, or some other woodland creature? Weep not, friends. Rumors have it that you'll be able to once again experience the delight of mowing down thousands of Covenant as your favorite seven foot tall space marine and his freaky alien buddy in glorious current gen graphics.
