Zipper Interactive, creators of SOCOM 4 US Navy Seals, have announced a brand new game for the PlayStation VITA which will be available at the system's launch. The game is called Unit 13 and its a 3rd person shooter set across 36 missions and 9 locales. It doesn't look all that different than the SOCOM franchise, though we get a little more of a "black ops" vibe from the screens and info.
We just got four brand new screenshots from the Wizardbox developed Action/RPG called R.A.W. - Realms of Ancient War. The two player co-op game is set to release next year on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC with its own take on heroic hack and slash titles.
A typical conversation between Ubisoft and Co-Optimus goes like this; "What do you want?" - Information. "Who is Rainbow 1?" - you are Rainbow 6. "Co-Optimus is not a number, we are free men!" We may consider ourselves free and not Prisoners, but we would still like more information on the upcoming Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Patriots and some artwork if you please? Ubisoft have duly obliged.
The NFL Blitz franchise has been resurrected by EA Sports. A video promoting the revamped series was posted on Youtube last month (see below). The title will feature all of the crazy gameplay the series was known for, including flaming players, wrestling-style tackles, as well as teams made up of zombies and robots. Best of all, it won't break your wallet. The game will feature all 32 NFL teams in a nice $15 dollar (or 1200 MSP) downloadable package.
Here is our playthrough from the first four missions of Modern Warfare 3's Spec Ops mode. Watch as we take you through the following tristes in true co-op fasion:
Dungeon Hunter, the popular mobile gaming franchise, is getting a third installment. Appropriately titled Dungeon Hunter 3, the threequel is "Coming Soon," according to the Gameloft Facebook page. Think of it as a portable version of those hack and slash RPG's we've all come to know and love, and then know some more, then love a little less...
Is it safe to come out now? I think the holiday rush is officially over. All the big retail games made it to store shelves before the travesty that was Black Friday. The end of the year is rapidly approaching, and new releases will be few and far between. We've got two downloadable co-op titles this week. Then the backlogging begins!
With the holidays upon us, it's time to buy Xbox 360 hardware and software for yourself, I mean, your loved ones. We've selected some choice gifts for both naughty and nice gamers.
While Gears of War 3 wrapped up the story of Marcus, Dom and crew quite nicely - rumors are already circulating about more games in the series. The Official Xbox Magazine has the pulse on what seems to be a likely scenario - a new trilogy of Gears of War games set before the current in true Star Wars fashion.
Call of Duty Elite has had a bit of a rough start. The online service exclusive to the Call of Duty franchise was not ready for the absolute influx of people using it, by some estimates, well over 1 million paying subscribers - that's not even counting the free users. Sadly all of this meant slow to no connections, wai...
Today, we continue our look back at two video game consoles released one decade ago. Last week, we covered Microsoft's first console, the Xbox, and its most notable innovation to co-op, online play through Xbox Live. But the Xbox wasn't the only console to arrive in stores in time for the holiday shopping season in 2001. NIntendo's GameCube hit the shelves on November 18 of that year, and brought some excellent cooperative experiences to gamers that were unavailable on any other system.
If you're a PC gamer (and especially if you're an FPS PC gamer), then you're likely familiar with what I like to call Short-End-Of-The-Stick-Console-Portitis. Okay, so I just made that up now, but the heart of the matter is true. With a huge amount of blockbuster titles being developed on the consoles, there's many a time that the PC port versions are lackluster, or downright close to broken. Sometimes these ports are months or years later. Sometimes they just don't come to PC at all.
