If you've hunted one monster, you've hunted them all - right? Not quite. God Eater Burst busts onto the on the go co-op monster hunting scene for the PlayStation Portable. Featuring an in-depth story, anime style cut scenes, and four player co-op - God Eater Burst looks solid...but is it?
Hunted: The Demon's Forge is looking to extend its longevity. A new dungeon creator mode has been revealed, simply titled "Crucible." Gold earned during the campaign can be used to buy new items for the dungeon tool. Potential dungeon engineers will be given a grid and multiple options to craft a challenging level for their friends. You can even upload your Crucible to share with others online. It's like being a Dungeon Master, only without stupid rule books or that silly screen! We have a very informative video after the break that explains just how the Crucible tool will work.
We haven't heard much from The Cursed Crusade lately. Videos were released in November and January, and now we have some fresh screens for you. In The Cursed Crusade, players will take the role of Templar Denz or thief Esteban in a quest to free themselves from "a curse that threatens to consume their immortal souls." While these new screens don't show it, the previous videos suggest a more sinister setting than medievil Mesopotamia. 2 player local or online co-op should be supported. We'll have more for you in the upcoming months, before the game releases for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC this summer.
Hot out of the oven are five new screens for Brink. The Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC game is set to come out May 10th - a week earlier than planned - with full 8 player online co-op. By now you know all about it, if not, here's our preview.
SEGA is having a sale this week no Xbox Live Arcade with their entire lineup of games discounted up to 50% off the normal price. The sale runs today through April 25th and features no less than 18 SEGA games discounted. It's pretty hard to pass up something like Streets of Rage 2 or Golden Axe for only $3.
It's time once again for a video edition of Co-Op Classics. Typically, we try to create videos for two of our previously featured classics in a video edition. However, this time around, the game was so massive and full of cool action that it deserved an edition of its own! It's time for Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom!
Dungeon Hunter: Alliance has made the transition from the iOS to the PlayStation Network. Four players can get together on the couch or online for a diabolic dungeon crawl. Is this the Diablo-clone you're looking for? Find out, in our Co-Op Review.
The Manx is out of the bag. The fourth character rounding out the Dungeon Siege 3 cast is one Reinhart Manx. He joins Lucas Montbarron, the warrior; Anjali, the fire spirit; and Katarina the gunslinger. He's a magic user with some powerful melee capabilities. In other words, he punches people...with magic! Keep reading to watch the video.
When checking out Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D at PAX East, we did describe it as a beautiful game. It turns out there was no visual trick to that beauty, as Capcom has come forward to reveal they’ve reused some console assets when designing The Mercenaries 3D to really bring the game a console feel on a portable platform.
When taking a look at cooperative PSN titles lately, we've been seeing a lot of puzzle titles that force players to work together against the high score. Now however, the in-progress survival horror title looks to bring players together for a terrifying co-op experience, as well as an in depth story to enjoy. Amy, the misleadingly girlie title of an incredibly dark game, is looking to bring a truly horrific story to our PSN's, with players working together to run, hide, and fight off hordes of not-quite-human's.
Are you ready for this? It's time for the co-op games of mid-to-late April! Woo-Hoo! This week we've got the retail releases of some XBLA classics! Wii's only FPS worth mentioning gets a sequel; and Navy SEALs infiltrate the PS3. I feel like I'm missing something... Oh yeah, Portal 2 comes out tomorrow. It would have come out earlier, but you didn't give Valve enough time and money. Shame on you.
Yesterday Andrew and I started a damage spree on Army of Two: The 40th Day; an unfinished spree that will ultimately be our next This Week in Co-Op article. Regaling our past experiences and simultaneously knocking heads in Shanghai reminded us just how much fun the game is when playing co-op.
