There's a new sheriff in town. Make that sheriffs. Ghost-busting sheriffs. Ghostbusters, if you will. Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime may not have Spengler, Stantz, Venkman, or Zeddemore, but it does have four player online and local co-op. There are four new recruits that make up this rookie class of Ghostbusters. Read on to find out more about them.
We covered Sony's patent for shared-screen stereoscopic 3D gaming last summer. Sony execs put on a demonstration recently showing the Dual View 3D mode in Killzone 3. In normal 3D viewing, two similar images are shown on screen, and 3D glasses produce the depth effect. In Dual View 3D mode, two entirely different images are on screen. What you see is dependent on your position to the television or monitor. So player one will have one full screen display, and player two will have their own individual display as well.
The grandiose reveal is finally here. Well, okay...it's not so grandiose. But it is interesting, especially when you consider the prospects of playing SOCOM 4's five-player cooperative mode with a Sony Move Sharpshooter.
The fireworks won't stop on July 4th. According to Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon's Facebook page, the game will be released on July 5th, the perfect capstone to a weekend of barbeque, sky explosions, and America. Judging from this latest screen, also from the Facebook page, the game's hero will have a grittier look than old swivel hips, Storm 1, the protagonist from EDF 2017.
We've just been tipped off that Amazon has put Halo Reach's special editions on sale for one day only. This means you can get the normally $150 Legendary Edition for $60, or the normally $80 Limited Edition for $40. Halo Reach supports a four player co-op campaign and the four player co-op Firefight mode. It also received our Co-Op Game of the Year in 2010 award.
Did you disagree with the Playboy advertising in Dead Rising 2? Have your say.
For the third year in a row, fans of giant robots who change into cool vehicles will be getting a Transformers-based video game. Summer 2011 brings the third Transformers film, Dark of the Moon, to theaters, and of course there is the obligatory game tie-in with it. The past two movie games were horrid and average, respectively, and we are hopeful that the trend at improvement will continue. What makes us so hopeful? First of all, the game is being developed by High Moon Studios, who did a bang-up job on War for Cybertron last summer. You may recall that in addition to a highly regarded online vs. component, online campaign co-op for three robots and a five-player survival mode called Escalation were included.
The finale of the Alien Breed trilogy has made its way to the PlayStation 3. Alien Breed 3: Descent is available for download on the PSN. The game follows the exploits of Chief Engineer Theordore Conrad as he battles alien swarms on his beleaguered vessel, the Leopold. The game feature co-op specific content where you and a friend can team up locally or online to battle through three different maps.
Mark September 20th on your calendars, chainsaw fans. That's when Gears of War 3 will be hitting store shelves. If you remember correctly, Gears 2 ended with Marcus and Co. killing a bunch of fabulously glowing Locusts. The conclusion of Fenix family fun time will have more guts, more guns, more glory, and more controversy. Remember, the fairer sex is in the combat mix now. That means plenty of fee advertising on cable news the second an image of Anya or Sam taking a Lancer to the face gets leaked. I'm guessing sometime around August.
We've gotten wind of more details on the upcoming 4 player co-op Rachet and Clank game, Rachet and Clank All 4 One. Eurogamer had a chance to demo the game and their writeup contained some great co-op information.
With hopes of Diablo 3 finally gracing our PCs (and sometime maybe consoles) this year - Kotaku has obtained an exclusive look at the game from a build back in 2005. The dozen or so screen shots of an early version of the game show three environments: Keep, Angelic Lands and Heaven. It seems the player would be entering a more pristine looking area (devoid of rainbows) and might run into some familiar faces, with an appearance by Tyrael in one of the screens.
