Today, Dawn of War II: Retribution, the expansion/stand-alone follow-up to the 2009 co-op hit Dawn of War II, gets a little DLC loving in the form of new achievements (and gear) for the co-op friendly Last Stand mode. The promise of shiny new toys and achievements wasn’t enough to stem the desire of three friends to mercilessly put down waves upon waves of foes… or try to, at the very least.
A new character vignette has been released for Dungeon Siege 3. This latest video focuses on Lucas Montbaron, the sword and board character we covered in our hands-on preview. Square Enix released a video revealing a new gun-toting character a few weeks ago. It's a little surprising that this latest vid features Lucas, who was the first character announced for the game. The vignette is nice enough, but we've known about Lucas for months now. Hopefully we get some juicier information in the next short, like maybe the identity of the fourth character.
Last month we got some hands-on time with Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, and we're more than a little excited about this game. Some of our West Coast editors are even a little jealous that they couldn't make it to PAX East to try the game out, but they've managed to quietly bottle their rage. Jim Richardson, the Lead Game Designer from Vicious Cycle Software, recently posted a ton of enemy information over at PlayStation.Blog. Check out the link to see what the Earth Defense Force is up against. The bugs are back, and they've brought some friends with them.
The Nintendo 3DS is here and Co-Optimus has the full review of the system and 4 of the launch titles. While, sadly, there's nothing on display in co-op...yet, there's a lot of stuff to talk about with the 3DS. Obviously 3D is first and foremost, but this little machine has more to offer than that.
Cave Johnson is effing bringing it. Recent promo videos for Portal 2 have consisted of awesome shorts focusing on Aperture Science's investment opportunities. The latest video covers Aperture Science's Turrets. Mr. Johnson goes into great detail to explain just how a turret is loaded, and how they get the most bang out of each bullet. If you haven't seen the videos on panels and robot trustworthiness, just click the preceding blue words and the magic internet tubes will take you to them. Please, oh please, Mr. Cave Johnson, take my money. Take all of it. I don't need it anymore... hold on a second... For some reason I feel compelled to buy Farmer's Insurance. Weird.
Orlando Bloom's acting suddenly improved once he was fashioned out of plastic
It has been a good week for comic book fans, especially those who have been following the excellent Green Lantern titles for the past few years. Over the weekend, a new and improved trailer for the upcoming film was released, full of hundreds of alien space cops and showing war on a grand scale. And now, there's hope that the inevitable movie tie-in game might be good, too. Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is coming in early June, shortly before the theatriocal release. In addition to the expected green lasers and flight power, gatling guns and the iconic hard-light fists will let Hal Jordan take down legions of androids with ease.
Moon Diver has been touted as a spiritual successor to the classic NES action platformer, Strider. The 1989 single-player title was responsible for the deaths of many controllers. The new Moon Diver now has four player co-op. How else has the game evolved in the past 22 years?Find out in our review.
Sci-fi co-op shooter Inversion fell off our radar for a bit last fall and winter, but with a new release date safely secured, more information and screenshots have begun to arise. You see what I did there? Gravity jokes aside, Saber Interactive has offered up (damn, now I can't stop myself) a live action trailer for the game. It gives a pretty cool slant on what it would be like to be an average Joe caught in the middle of unfathomable events. It really confronts one with the question that humankind has been pondering since the dawn of time: what would you do if crap started randomly floating in the air?
The previously exclusive PSN title Hoard has launched today via Steam - and fans of the game may have noticed something suspiciously missing from their game - namely local co-op. While the PSN version of the game supported both local and online play, including local with online players at the same time, the PC version of the game shipped with online only support for four player online co-op.
We've got a fresh new trailer for the upcoming 8 player co-op game Brink, developed by Splash Damage. The trailer focuses on your persistent character's unlockable abilities. In addition to the trailer we've gotten a glimpse at the game's achievements and trophies.
Streets of Rage 2 on the Sega Genesis is one of my all time favorite co-op games, especially in the Beat Em' Up genre. So there's little doubt that a fan made project that took more than 8 years to complete, and based on the franchise, is something that has piqued my interest.
