The robed wizards of Magicka will not be attending San Diego Comic Con. They had a run in with a Necromancer from their "Other Side of the Coin" DLC. The following video may be the last we see of the mustard wizard. As you can see from the images above and below, the video is not lacking in the ball-gag and gold-trimmed...
Not much more to say - if you're headed to the San Diego Comic Con this weekend you should stop by and check out the LEGO The Lord of the Rings video game in all its co-op glory. If you aren't headed to sunny San Diego to schmooze it up with celebs, check out comics and cosplay, and get your hands on the latest video games - perhaps a handful of new screens from the game will make up for it.
It's almost time for another gaming convention, or in this case, comics and games. The San Diego Comic Con kicks off today and with it comes some gaming goodness. If the last full Borderlands 2 trailer we saw had too much DubStep for your eardrums to handle, perhaps you'd prefer the latest rendition - with a little Wimoweh. Yes, this will be stuck in your head the rest of the day.
Most people, myself included, have a group of friends who really click and spend the most game time together. I like to call this group "my crew" because, well, they're by my side through thick and thin. They're the guys or gals that churn fun times out of terrible games, and create smiling-so-hard-your-cheeks-hurt moments out of great games.
I've been missing out on Realms of Ancient War news. When I caught this video I was pleasantly surprised. It covers your basic ARPG elements: setting, classes, loot, and co-op. I don't know, something about the visuals is "doing it" for me. Maybe it's all the nice area of effect spells and powers that radiate from the characters throughout the video. I do enjoy swatting several flies at once.
It was rumored last month that Mass Effect 3 would be getting more co-op DLC, specificall set on Earth. Those rumors of held to be true as Major Nelson reports a new expansion pack for the game is going live next week on July 17th for the low, low price of FREE. The pack is called "The Earth Multiplayer Expansion" and if the rumors hold up will include 3 new maps, 3 new weapons and 6 new human classes.
In an E3 live chat Gearbox producer Brian Burleson let it slip that players will not be able to play as female Marines in Aliens: Colonial Marines. This came as a shock to fans of the series. Strong female characters are a hallmark of the Alien franchise. For Gearbox to not feature a female lead is more than a mere oversight, it's a tragedy.
Up until now, Splinter Cell: Blacklist had a more general release date, “spring of 2013” attached to its name from Ubisoft at E3 2012. But after an update on the product’s revised description, the title’s officially release has now been leaked to the public from Amazon UK.
Looking to get in on a little LEGO action? Wanna get hyped up for the new Batman movie coming next week? Perhaps you should check out the latest co-op LEGO game, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. You'll not only join Batman - but Superman, Robin, The Green Lantern and many other DC super heroes.
Don't look directly at the Dolph. He can kill-punch an elephant through WiFi. This new trailer helps prove the fact that The Expendable 2: The Videogame is not just a figment of my testosterone ravaged imagination. I may have written an exclamatory post announcing this game a few weeks ago. In my constant sleep deprived state I rarely know what's real anymore. Check it out and tell me if your experience is the same as mine.
Spelunky is a charming, super-addictive platformer which has earned a reputation as a tough, but rewarding old-school gaming experience. It has been available on the PC, free of charge, for almost four years. Recently it made the jump to the XBLA, where it has received updated graphics, new secrets, co-op play, and more. All of this comes at a cost, of course. Is Spelunky a treasure worth the price of admission? Find out in our Co-Op Review.
Today I'm incredibly proud to announce that SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance, a side project I've been working on for the better part of the past year, is now available to download on the Xbox Live Indie Games channel. The game is a four player local co-op twin stick shooter with plenty of other elements mixed in like an RPG class system and dozens of upgrades to tweak how your ship handles and performs. With 36 missions, 9 survival missions, and a free play mode there's tons of gameplay to keep you coming back for more.
