The online co-op blues

Posted by Brian On December - 31 - 2010

We're on a mission from God

I can remember back in college when Erik and I would spend our Friday nights playing video games. We played everything. Though our favorite type of games were always co-op. Those titles made you work together as a team to reach a mutual goal. Sure we’d have a few good versus matches against one another, but we always came back to the loving arms of co-op.

Thanks to the wonders of the modern internet, Erik and I can still game in spite of our different area codes. We can once again play games together. There’s just one tiny problem. A void in the online gaming market: online co-op gaming. It’s shocking how difficult it is to find a good online co-op game. Erik currently owns a PS3 and Wii. He owned a 360 at one time, but when it red ringed for the umpteenth time, he gave up. Regardless, it shouldn’t be this hard to find fun online co-op games! Read the rest of this epic article! »

Indie time: Crossfire 2

I loved that old game from the eighties

I’m probably not the best guy to get information on the latest and greatest indie games. Just not into the scene as much as others. Though I am a fan of the Xbox LIVE indie section. About a year ago I picked up a small indie game titled “Crossfire”. I thoroughly enjoyed it. For a paltry 80 points, it was well worth the money. Why I never wrote about it I’m not sure. Anyway, recently I found out they released a sequel with the clever title “Crossfire 2″.

Who is this they? “They” would be an indie developer known as Radiant Games. More importantly, what is Crossfire? Think of the visual style of Tron mixed with the arcade game play of Galaga and add a twist. That made much more sense in my head so I’ll give you the long explanation.

X-Men arcade dated and priced!

Posted by Brian On December - 9 - 2010

PYRO WILL TURN YOU TO TOAST

Konami has finally set a release date and pricing for the classic arcade beat ‘em up X-Men. The game is slated to come out for both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 this month. Playstation 3 owners will have a slight head start with the game coming out December 14th, while 360 owners will get it one day later on December 15th.

Even better, Konami has kept the price at a reasonable $10 (800 space bucks for 360). I can’t wait to get some 6 player online co-op going. I call dibs on Wolverine!

P.S. WINDEGO!
