This trailer for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is, as they say, "doing it right." This is an accompaniment to the Power of Three trailer we brought you earlier this week. The developers discuss some of the benefits of co-op, including some of the character abilities as well as a challenge mode. Looks like Snowblind built some extra replay-ability into their latest action RPG.
Rounding off our class coverage of the Diablo 3 beta is the Demon Hunter. The Demon Hunter is a pretty solid blend of Diablo 2’s Amazon and Assassin classes. She specializes in bows and crossbows as well as a variety of traps and trick shots. We’ll delve more into the specific skills later. First, let’s talk basic mechanics.
We've had a steady stream of RAGE videos for the past two months, but this is the last gameplay trailer you'll see for the game. We've already seen the co-op trailer, but this one will give you a glimpse at a few of the different enviornments the game has to offer. The latest video is called Jackal Canyon.
Don't look now, but September is just about over. What a wild ride this month was! It all started on the 6th with a triple co-op threat of Dead Island, Resistance 3 and Space Marine (despite still not having the co-op DLC). Dead Island was the clear winner for the month in terms of popularity. We also had two games earn our Editors' Choice award - Gears of War 3 and the aforementioned Dead Island.
Go ahead and just take that picture in right there. Yup, flying kick into a furry with a purple star trail. The insanity of Professor Genki is back in Saints Row: The Third thanks to his popular show "Professor Genkis Super Ethical Reality Climax" where players compete in hilarious death and dismemberment games.
Amongst the various co-op games available at Eurogamer Expo 2011 I was able to grab a few minutes with some upcoming single player experiences. This Beyond Co-op preview will take a quick gander at Nintendo’s line up at the show, Joe Danger: The Movie, Ridge Racer Unbound and some Retro action.
In its first week of retail Gears of War 3 utterly decimated the 2011 sales charts, selling more copies in seven days than any other game has cumulatively sold to date (as of January 2011). The tally shows above three million copies of the game going home with happy gamers everywhere. That's amazing!
Here's the latest trailer from Dark Souls. I can't really tell you anything about it. I've decided to go on a media blackout since this is one of my most anticipated games of the year. I don't want to spoil anything for myself. That means I'm not going to read or watch any of the coverage, including the trailers. I'm just going to blindly post this, and hope it's not full of boobs.
The House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut has zombie strippers, and here's the video to prove it. These lovely ladies will no doubt be part of the all new "Naked Terror" campaign, where you and a friend will take control of Varla Guns and her friend, Candy. You'll be battling through the Pink Pussycat, which I believe is some type of shelter for young ladies who have a clothing deficiency. The video is pretty self explanatory.
Spells… black magic… mantras… these are not the weapons of a warrior. A warrior leaps first into a throng of foes and drinks deep of the fury within. A warrior bathes in the blood of his enemies and only feels remorse when there are none left to kill…
The long rumored, but recently announced, Syndicate reboot has gotten a release date already. You'll be filling the shoes of a corporate merc in no time flat as the date given for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC shooter is February 21st, 2012. That's a short 5 months away.
After visiting the over 18 section of the Eurogamer Expo 2011, it was nice to get out and play something that did not require me removing limbs in a violent fashion. The best co-op games do not have to be violent, as Rayman Origins and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One proved.
