Our previous Co-Op International looked at the Japanese versions of Double Dragon II. This month we follow up with River City Ransom. Think the GameBoy Advance version is the best? No way! Read on to discover the River City Ransom that never left Japan but does feature awesome co-op.
Call of Duty Elite was introduced with the launch of Modern Warfare 3. The premium service for everything Call of Duty was Activision's experiment to extend the product outside the boundaries of the game while providing a premium service for fans of the series. It also provided regular content updates which were also sold as premium DLC to non-subscribers of the $60 service. For the most part, it seems Elite was successful, but perhaps it was a bit confusing and burdensome for the more casual player.
Earlier this year fans of A World of Keflings were asked to vote for what DLC they wanted for the game; Candy, Graveyard or Pirates. Candy won the day and the DLC was duly revealed.

Last Friday I had the pleasure of attending the Aliens: Colonial Marines New York Comic Con Event. I'll just get it out of the way right now and admit that I know very little about the Aliens universe and lore. I have absolutely nothing against it, I just haven't gotten around to watching any of the movies. That being said, however, I have some friends who are huge fans and they've gotten me curious about the upcoming game.
Being an East coaster and an hour outside of NYC, every year I feel obligated to hit up New York Comic-Con despite hitting most of the previous conventions in the year. I'm not what they'd call a comic book nerd by any means, but I do appreciate the art form quite a bit and love looking at all the wares the show has to offer - especially the statues. NYCC has always been a great hub for videogames too, so off I went to the city.
I remember an age when you bought a fighting game and that was it. Our online world has given developers the opportunity to tweak a title after release to their heart's content. Some would suggest that releasing a broken game in the first place is a bad thing to do. We don't mind so much as long as any updates are free, as in the case with Street Fighter X Tekken ver. 2013. This version aims to make the game faster to play and easier to see.
