Ready your artillery, because CastleStorm is rapidly approaching its projected spring Xbox LIVE Arcade release. Zen Studios has revealed the specifics of its co-op modes for those looking to try to defend their castles from hordes of man and beasts.
Back in July of 2011 (ahhh, what a heady, magical time that was), we had some news of an upcoming (so it was believed) remake of the arcade version of Double Dragon II, now subtitled "Wander of the Dragons." Between that time and now, the series saw something of a reimagining in the form of Double Dragon: Neon, an effort that Paul found to be quite enjoyable whether playing the game solo or with a friend. Now, the announcement for Neon came around April of 2012 and the game saw release that September. Meanwhile, on the Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons front... Well, we've finally gotten some achievements, so maybe the game will see a release soon? Or at least, this year?
The above screenshot might look like its from a Crackdown game, but it's actually from the recently released Saints Row 4 trailer. The new game looks even more over the top than the third installment - which we didn't know was possible. It's a good thing though - Saints Row knows what it is and what it does well and it continues to push that.
Who needs a TV when your controller's got a screen? The Wii U's Off-TV Play feature allows supported games to be played on the tablet-like gamepad. As long as the Wii U is receiving power and you're within range, you don't even need a television. Perfect for those ugly moments when the TV is being used for a Glee marathon. Oh, the horror...
Described as "Ratchet & Clank meets Zelda meets Uncharted", Oliver & Spike: Dimension Jumpers is an upcoming indie platform adventure game that has high aspirations. Some new details have recently been released about the game, emphasizing its unique story-driven content, dimension jumping abilities, and family-friendly gameplay.
You have to love those tenacious Keflings, like some sort of mutating super virus they are spreading from XBLA over to Windows 8 and Wii U. The original Live version of A World of Keflings was a great 4 player online/2 player offline co-op title, so it is good to see the potential audience widen.
Aliens: Colonial Marines has received a massive patch on the PC bringing it up to date AND past the recently patched console version of the game. The four player co-op shooter was released to mostly negative reviews due to buggy gameplay, poor AI, and unimpressive visuals. While we gave the game a 3 out of 5 for co-op play, it definitely wasn't worth the $60. It's a good thing it's down to $35 already.
We’ve seen plenty of games do crossovers with Capcom over the years, but nothing quite like this! Both Capcom and Valve have proudly announced that both Resident Evil 6 and Left 4 Dead 2 will be holding a crossover in each other’s games, switching things up for fans of these two major zombie franchises.
This week has a lot of potential on the co-op front. 360 owners will get another chapter of the Gears franchise. Capcom will once again try to convince Americans the Monster Hunter series is worth our time. PC gamers will get access to Resident Evil 6, whether they like it or not. And PS3 fans will get... well, you got God of War: Ascension last week. Go play that some more.
One of the surprises from Capcom at PAX East will actually be an arcade port of two beloved beat em' up classics. Capcom will be porting both Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara and Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom to both the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 via the PSN and XBLA, respectively.
Miner Wars 2081, the game that's all about mining and warring in space, has just received a major update, switching the rendering engine from XNA to DirectX for improved stability along with a few other tweaks and fixes. More notable, however, is the fact that both the game and the VRAGE engine's source code have been released, opening the flood gates for the modding community to sweep in and do what they do best.
