It’s an unfortunate fact of video game life: tie-in games are often very bad. Whether they are based on movies, TV shows, books, or comics, most games of this type are of substandard quality. Consider recent reviews of Adventure Time and Family Guy, for instance. But every once in a while, there are tie-ins that surprise you and end up being ...
Many Legend of Zelda fans out there have been waiting in anticipation for news on the next (new, not remake) Zelda title on Wii U. Would it be a remake of Majora’s Mask, or possibly a darker themed sequel like Twilight Princess? From what we were shown from today’s Nintendo Direct, I don’t believe anyone had expected this: a combination of both Legend of Zelda and Dynasty Warrior all in one.
Sometimes its easy for a game to get lost in the shuffle. Whether it's a busy news season thanks to E3 or a hectic fall release schedule, it can be tough for any game to get noticed. As we head into the winter months we'll be doing our best around Co-Optimus to do some house cleaning and find those hidden gems. It looks like we missed a slick little twin-stick shooter that was released earlier this year on Steam called Ring Runner.
Twin stick shooter, Halo: Spartan Assault has been delayed on Xbox 360. Originally set to release on Chirstmas Eve, the game will now be available in January 2014 for the 360. Luckily for next gen early adopters, the title will still release on December 24 for the Xbox One for $14.99.
Welcome to the wide world of Minecraft, PlayStation 3 owners! The mega popular title has finally been released as its PlayStation 3 Edition today in North America, opening the creative doors to thousands of PS gamers waiting patiently for their opportunity.
Dead Rising 3 continues the tradition of zany online co-op through the zombie apocalypse. Half the fun is the unpredictable nature that cooperative play yields in the sandbox like environment. Be sure to check out our full review of the game. Here we try to answer some of the common questions regarding gameplay. Feel free to ask more in the comments below.
One of the reasons we founded this site was the distinct inability to determine what sort of co-op features a game has just by looking at the back of the box. Early on in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3's life cycle this was nary impossible. Most multiplayer was simply listed as such - with no discernable way to differentiate between competitive and cooperative.
Supporting Payday 2 for as long as they have, Overkill Studios must have learned it is indeed better to give than receive. This year, they are embracing the spirit of the season and offering a Christmas-themed mission completely free of charge. You don't have to reciprocate, of course. You and your three masked friends can keep stealing other people's money and gunning down rent-a-cops without a care in the world.
Like World War II games last generation, it might be time to put the zombie genre to bed. Yet, just when I think I've lopped off my last undead head, along comes a new game to change my mind one more time. Dead Rising 3 for the Xbox One continues the open world style zombie game the original created back on the Xbox 360 in 2006. We started in a...
We're going a bit old school today, as we heard that the original Double Dragon title on NES is now available on the Wii U and 3DS Virtual Console! Now, how fast can you score 50,000 points?

The DLC won't just feature a re-skinned Nick, but also feature a new custom vehicle, new weapons, and new side missions.
Julius Caesar's victories in Gaul made him a hero in the eyes of his men and the people of the Roman Republic, and his crossing of the Rubicon under arms changed western history forever. How would you like to toss a wrench into the gears of time and make sure ol' Julius returns to Rome in a pine box? For anyone who falls on the Barbarian side of the fence comes the new campaign addition to Total War: Rome II, "Caesar in Gaul," launching December 17th.
