Back at CES, the beautifully co-op game Dungeon Defenders showed off a bit of cross-platform action. We thought it was initially just to boast performance ratings out of the new Nvidia phone, but it turns out the game will be playable in co-op across a few platforms.
A few years ago developer Blue Tongue Entertainment had this brilliant idea. If everyone can please take a moment to open their minds to the color of the de Blob 2 world, we can go on one of the best cross-platform adventures imagined. Bring your kids, or whoever likes good, simple fun.
That's right. One thousand percent more guitar solo. If you don't think that's possible then you simply don't know how to do guitar solo math. Yesterday we brought you the news that the Call of Duty: Black Ops First Strike Map Pack will be released on the PS3 on March 3rd. People with calendars tell me that day is today. Hooray! Now, on yesterday's post some wisenheimer may have poked fun at PS3 owners. He (or she) has been horrifically reprimanded. Today, we make it up to you with the best video featuring Scorpion's "Wind of Change" you'll see all day.
Pirates of the Caribbean is the latest franchise to become Lego-ified. The new Lego title is scheduled to release in May, around the same day as the fourth film in the series, On Stranger Tides. Lego: Pirates of the Caribbean will cover material from all four films and have over 70 playable characters. We can see from the screens that the game will feature more realistic backdrops, similar to Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars. The game will have its standard drop-in drop-out co-op for two local players. It will be available this spring for the Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. Read on to check out more images from the latest Lego infected game.
Epic VP Mark Rein recently sat down with Eurogamer to talk about the yearly release of Gears of War titles. Many gamers may cry foul, but Activision and Ubisoft apparently like the idea, and have recently begun releasing their triple-A titles annually. (Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed, respectively.) Rein seems to like the idea, as well:
Before Magicka receives its first big, and extremely out of left field, DLC in Magicka: Vietnam - the developers thought it'd be nice if they gave back to the community with a little - "my bad." Because of all the issues the game had at launch, despite being patched almost daily for two weeks, the team at Arrowhead Games have released some free downloadable content called Mea Culpa.
Cute as a button ilomilo is getting a batch of DLC on March 9th. The new DLC is titled "Autumn Tale," and it will contain 19 new levels, six bonus levels, and three new Achievements. We were charmed by the blocky puzzle game, giving it a 4 out of 5 in our co-op review. Read on to see the new trailer for "Autumn Tale."
A pic so nice we used it twice.
How are you feeling, PlayStation 3 owners? Are you doing well? I know Call of Duty: Black Ops hasn't so much as called, written, or even texted since their last title update, all the way back in January. February can be a long, cold month when you're all alone. It's okay. CoDBlOps still loves you. It's just that Microsoft gave her more money, so she wanted to go hang out with him for awhile. She'll be back. It's not like she offered up exclusive access to new content... oh wait, she did. Sorry.
I’ve been waiting a long time for this. A long time. Once a poor little rugrat occasionally denigrated to a cutesie photo op by her parents for entertainment’s sake, my daughter is several months from three years old and has accepted the fact that she is a gamer daddy’s little girl. As such, she is often subjected to the allure of colorful gamepads and the curious moving images they control on the TV whenever Dora and Boots aren’t busy looking for the Muddy Mountain. Alright, so maybe it's only been two years; but the anticipation has been no less. Finally, the time has come: let the experimentation with video games commence!
We get a lot of press material regarding computer and console accessories and hardware. Some of it is co-op related, some if it is just generally cool. We're all gamers and geeks so its hard not to oggle at some of these sexy devices. Here's the latest list of hardware that excites us around the Co-Optimus HQ.
