For this week's This Week in Co-Op, Tally and Eric decide to tackle Left 4 Dead 2's new DLC, entitled Cold Stream. It's been awhile since either of them played L4D, it's a new map, and while Eric's a vet at the game, he's never played it on PC before. How will this all turn out?
The success of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game since its release has been phenomenal. It would sounds like a no brainer to make a sequel to this game, right? Well, the game to follow it up isn’t quite a Scott Pilgrim sequel, but close to it. Mercenary Kings, another 2D action title from the guys that brought you Scott Pilgrim, want to bring the amazing, old school, pixelated graphics right back into the limelight, but only through your help can they make it happen.
It seems as though the gaming industry is truly digging the Call of Duty Elite and Diablo 3 Character Profile style of online stat tracking features, taking notice of how the modern world is truly and frequently on the move. Following in Activision’s footsteps, Capcom has recently announced that their upcoming title, Resident Evil 6, will offer its own version of a free, online, stat-tracking service for all players.
Hey, do you know what we need? MORE LEGO GAMES! Every time I think the formula is over and done with a new franchise pops up and it still works surprisingly well. This latest trailer from, you guessed it, Gamescom 2012 features the LEGO The Lord of the Rings game.
The new Dead Space 3 trailer is live, well, sort of. The action takes place on a derelict spacecraft, most likely orbiting over the frozen planet, Tau Volantis, depicted in the E3 demo. The video offers a tense glimpse of the dangers in store for Issace Clarke and his new co-op partner, John Carver. It's even got that repetitive, foreboding audio tone, so you know it's about to get real.
Gamescom is going on in Germany right now. You know what that means? Lots and lots of trailers with little to no new information! Sweet! This Star Trek video may not have much substance, but it sure has plenty of style. It's absolutely action-packed. It's got lens flare, beaming, lizards, space ships, warp drives, the Vulcan nerve pinch, and a plethora of phaser blasts. Most importantly, it's full of co-op action with Kirk and Spock. What does it all mean? Who knows? Who cares? It's got explosions! In space!
EA held a press conference today during Gamescom in Germany. They opened the show with Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel, showcasing a brand new trailer followed by live on stage co-op gameplay from the game. While we don't have a trailer that showcases the actual gameplay that was shown on display, we do have a hip-hop filled teaser to whet your appetite.
The PSN Plus scheme seemed a little too good to be true when it was launched, but Sony have stayed true to their word and are offering more and more free games for people who join. This week sees the addition of the 2 player co-op title Outland, to add the already co-op heavy list of 'free' games.
While we may have found quite a few faults in The Scourge Project, it appears developer Tragnarion didn't sit idely by while develping the console version. In fact, the console version isn't even the same game as the 2010 PC 3rd person shooter, instead Scourge: Outbreak is a brand new game built from the ground up for console gamers.
Team Fortress 2 is an incredibly popular game from Valve that has had pretty consistent content updates for the better part of the last 3 years, and I don't just mean the hats. Now the game is getting what some might consider the biggest update since release - and entire new "faction" of of characters have joined the game. Except these aren't Reds or Blues, rather these are machines and it's time to team up with your friends against them in a survival mode.
The world is full of creatively bankrupt fantasy MMOs in the time-honored Everquest/World of Warcraft model. Throw a rock, and you’ll hit approximately a hundred Western/Asian fantasy games that all play alike. Swap art styles and network issues and you’ll have a hard time keeping track sometimes. Every now and again, a game comes along and successfully forges its own identity, and I’m happy to report that The Secret World is one of them.
People must really love Dead Island, because they’ve already been playing it for over 6,500 years, cumulatively of course. We have cooperative gameplay to thank for that.
