Remember Bionic Comando on the NES? Yeah it was pretty badass. There's a new 3rd person 3D action game of the same name coming as well. That's not even the good news. The good news is Capcom has announced a remake of the original game complete with 3D graphics and....CO-OP PLAY! Check out the preview at IGN....
On PC GMG has a 20% off coupon code. This cuts $12 off the Standard Edition making it only a $48 purchase. The same code also works on the Season Pass or Digital Deluxe Edition (which is basically just the game Season Pass).
The team based multiplayer space shooter that's set within the same universe as EVE: Online arrived for the Oculus Rift earlier this year on the PC. Though it's primary focus is centered around two teams of players shooting at each other, the title does allow you to form a squad of up to five players and shoot up another squad controlled by A.I. Players can choose from one of three ship classes - Fighter (assault), Heavy (tank), and Support (healer) - and earn experience to upgrade and customize them. New ships within each class will become available as you earn more experience with that class.
The mercenary group known as G.O.D. (Gold, Oil, and Diamonds), Inc. is charged with "controlling the masses" for the dark forces known only as the "Masters of Mankind." In 8DAYS you and a local co-op buddy play as two of G.O.D., Inc.'s mercenaries who are tasked with keeping the peace for the malevolent group. So, not exactly a "fighting the powers that be" sort of game; more enforcing the status quo.
In the world of Huntdown, gangs of the retro-future have completely taken over. The Hoodlum Dolls are out in full force, the Misconducts are armed to the teeth, the Heatseekers are riding with a vengeance. Since you're a radical bounty hunter protagonist, it's your job to show them what's for, all by shooting stabbing and slaying everything in your path. You'll collect a bounty at the end of each level as you work your way towards a final boss. Or bosses, as the case may be.
First up there's Kevin Jordan, a former Blizzard employee that was part of the original design team that developed the core systems in World of Warcraft, who will be working on designing and developing the underlying systems of Alaloth. Along with Kevin, Chris Avellone, one of the co-founders of Obsidian Entertainment and something of a creative freelancer within the industry as a whole, will also be lending support in the form of world-building and lore. That's some good talent to have.
As this is my fourth headset I've reviewed in just two months time, it's starting to get easier to see what features stand out compared to the competition. The packaging and build quality are fairly no frills here and the Khan Pro is surprisingly light. The build quality feels a bit cheap to be honest, almost too plasticy for the $100 asking price. The mic is non-detachable and a bit stiff, rotating from the left ear up or down. The pads are soft and comfortable and lasted well through extended play sessions with little ear fatigue.
That said, there is an ominous caveat in the press release announcing that date that simply says "Maybe." We'll keep our fingers crossed and our masks on as we wait patiently for the return to RPG goodness. In the meantime check out this mood setting in engine trailer that shows off some impressive visuals and starts the hype meter. Time to find 3 more friends to join the party, as Baldur's Gate 3 features four player online co-op.
