A new Skylanders game has hit the store shelves. Here's everything you need to know to keep your co-op partners happy, be they children, siblings, friends, significant others, or spouses. Co-Op tip: Buy a second "Giant" character immediately. This will preempt a lot of fights.
Hmmm, this seems familiar. Oh right, I just wrote about Halo 4 in terms of sales dollars. Now it's the other big juggernaut's turn. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has sold over 500 Million dollars worth of product in the first 24 hours since launch across all three platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Halo 4 has sold a lot of copies since it launched a little over a week ago. While the exact sales numbers are not available, Microsoft has decided to put the sales launch into dollar amounts. So how much has Halo 4 sold? In the first 24 hours over 220 Million dollars were spent on the game. Let's say that the average selling price - when you take into account special editions, exchange rates, and everything else is $75. That would mean the game has sold just shy of 3 million copies in one day. Impressive to say the least.
We’ve been looking closely into the Nintendo Wii U hardware and seeing what sort of capabilities for co-op it can hold. One such game that immediately comes to our minds, Scribblenauts Unlimited, practically screams co-op potential. Though it does have pretty interesting co-op features, the ideal co-op gameplay we’ve wanted since the series’ inception won’t come to fruition until 2013.
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is right around the corner. If these screenshots, a new trailer, and information about the Collector’s Edition of this game don’t rouse you into buying this game, we don’t know what will.
Borderlands 2's second campaign DLC, "Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage," has been confirmed through a Gearbox Twitter account. The @ECHOcasts account was being used by the Mechromancer character until it was "hacked' by Mr. Torgue earlier today. After a poor choice of "explosion-based punctuation," Mr. Torgue went on to tweet:
Orgarhythm is a new hybrid video game for the PlayStation Vita. It mixes rhythm and strategy using the Vita's touch screen. After watching some of the videos, the game seems to have a Pikmin vibe. Players control a central figure who can dispatch three different types of soldiers which are governed by earth, fire, and water elemental strengths and weakness. Two players can use an ad-hoc connection to share control of their soldiers and take on the forces of the God of Darkness. We've got two videos that show the game in action.
We're back with the second episode of the Halo 4 Spartan Ops Overview. This week brings us another 5 missions (chapters) for you to tackle, venturing into familiar territory from last week's episode. You're going to see the same maps from last week, save 1, so get ready for a little repetition.
Today I'm proud to say the Indie game I helped create is now available to purchase via Amazon. SCHAR Blue Shield Alliance is available in standard and deluxe editions via digital download. While not a full retail release, to be listed on a major retailer is quite a milestone in my opinion. We released the game in late August via Desura and had high hopes of getting it on Steam, but even with a Greenlight page I just don't see that happening.
In 2002 Microsoft launched an ambitious service to bring multiplayer online gaming to the console masses. Requiring a broadband connection, which at the time seemed like a bad decision, Xbox Live launched with built in voice chat across every game. This ladies and gentlemen was the best possible decision and clearly it had a large effect on how Xbox grew in the years to come.
