It's the fall gaming season and everygame is vying for your hard earned dollar. With so many games to choose from, already at the exhorberent price of $59.99, why would you drop $99, $129 or even $150 on a Collector's or Special Editions of a game? Because it's shiny, that's why. Oh - did we mention we're giving a collector's edition away?
It was only a week ago today that we told you more news would be coming about a brand new MechWarrior title. Now that "soon" has arrived, I've been tasked with the bearer of bad news. While we did get the information promised about the game, now called MechWarrior Online, we've learned that the original concept for the MechWarrior game has been scrapped in favor of a Free 2 Play PC exclusive game with micro transactions.
Are you a parent? Have you checked out Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster for the Xbox 360 Kinect? You haven't? Why don't you love your kids? What did they ever do to you? Okay, I know they feed on all of your hopes a dreams, and they have absolutely crushed any will you may have had to improve yourself through diet and exercise, but this is a really cute game. So cute, we gave it a 4.5 out of 5 in our Co-Op Review. Check out some of the concept art in the attached gallery. Kids love this stuff! As an added bonus, if you play this game with your kids, you'll get a little workout yourself. If you're as big a fan of bacon as I am, it will be outright rigorous!
It's been almost two months since WH40K: Space Marine has been released into the wild. The much anticipated (at least by 40k fans) "Exterminatus" co-op mode released on the PlayStation 3 and PC last week, and is now live on the Xbox 360. The co-op mode will take a meager 337 MB of hard drive space, so get to downloading! I also noticed that there are slots for four more DLC packages, which is very interesting, given that some honchos at THQ seem less than impressed with the title's performance.
EA has just released a brand new trailer for Syndicate, the upcoming shooter based on the classic 1993 game. While we went hands on with the single player portion and were teased with the details of co-op, we didn't get a chance to see the online four player co-op in action...until now.
The Gears of War 3 Horde Command Pack, the first piece of DLC set for release for the co-op game, has been delayed at the last minute due to technical glitch according to the game's community manager raczilla. The content, which is priced at 800 , was set to go live today.
Joining a band, becoming a member of the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team, Performing the Y.M.C.A., and surviving the zombie hordes in Left 4 Dead: these are just some of the ways to look super awesome as a foursome. As of 8th November, we can add playing Rabbids: Alive and Kicking on 360 Kinect to this list. A new trailer highlights some of the 4 player minigames on offer and they look too cool for school (Co-Optimus does not endorse skipping classes - stay in school kids).
Battlefield 3 is out! I bet you didn't know that. You did? Oh, well did you want a copy for your PlayStation 3? Good - because we're giving one of those away. Perhaps you read our co-op review or our co-op FAQ on the game and now it's all you can think about. You dream of piloting an attack helicopter with your best friend. You want to complete sniper missions with grandma. And the only way you'll get through a work day is by checking Battlelog every 15 minutes to see how your platoon's K/D ratio is doing.
Guns! Guns! Guns! You like guns, I like guns, we all like guns! GUNS! The folks over at Croteam are no different from us, with the exception that they have a whole country named after them. Today we have a video showcasing Serious Sam 3: BFE. We can see not one, not two, not three, but at least 10 guns in action! Croteam threw in some C4 and a sledgehammer for good measure. There's even a thing called a Mutilator, but I'm not sure what it is. I just know what it does.
Happy Halloween, folks! We have a few high profile co-op releases this week. Game titles boasting high impact words like "survival," "war," "deception," and "otomedius." Wait, what the hell is an "otomedius?" Let me Google that. Oh. O-o-o-h. Moving forward.
The House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut has arrived just in time for Halloween! Feel like killing zombies, mutants and other monstrosities with a couch co-op partner? Then this may be the game for you!
I've had the opportunity to go hands-on with upcoming 3rd person shooter Inversion on a couple of different occasions. From what I've seen, it's shaping up to be a pretty neat 2-player co-op game with the gravity gameplay well-integrated into the game (as opposed to being gimmicky, which would have been disappointing). We've showed you guys quite a few different trailers for the game, and today we have yet another one to share. This one focuses on the combat of the game.
