REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it

E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel Announced

Posted on Thursday, August 2 @ 10:51:22 Eastern by Keri_Honea


Whether it pleases you or angers you, EA has announced today that Army of Two will be getting a sequel in the form of The Devil's Cartel. Game Informer's next magazine cover is also dedicated to EA's announcement, as shown above.

The Devil's Cartel will be brought to you by Visceral Games, the same creators of Dead Space. From EA's press release, they explain that "players will find themselves on the deadly streets of Mexico as Alpha and Bravo, two operatives working for Tactical Worldwide Operations (T.W.O.), a PMC outfit that drops them in the middle of a drug war conflict for an assignment full of corruption and deceit. With the ability to unleash the power of ultimate destruction, players will need to work together as their objectives unravel, allegiances begin to blur and they face off against a ruthless opposition."

"We wanted to refresh the Army of Two franchise for a new generation of action gamers, and at the same time, stay true to the core concept that really made the first two games fan favorites," said Julian Beak, Executive Producer, Visceral Games. "With meaningful, seamless co-op gameplay at its core and explosive new tag-team features, gamers will have to work together tactically and strategically as they push through a city dominated by one of Mexico's deadliest drug cartels."

Army of Two will feature both online and couch co-op, something all games that offer co-op should feature. The game releases in March 2013, along with everything else.

    Funny story I played the first one with my friend on magic mushrooms(he was sober) I kept running into a railing while my friend ran off to kill things but I swear I was seeing geometric patterns from the bland dirt textures everywhere in my vision.

    The textures in the original Army of Two were muddy as sh**, so you could have seen Jesus for all we know.

    Do we really need a 3rd game? It's like EA keeps thinking, "wait maybe next time it will be good!" Both games sucked and I'm sure this one will to.

    Insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

    Both are fun with a friend, local co-op is the only way to play most games like this.

    So, it's a darker, grittier Army of Two? AoT without all the campiness that made it actually fun? Yeah, nah, that's terrible.

    "Ladies lift ya shirts!"

    The first game is a blast. Haven't played the sequel. I totally appreciate the franchise though. Couch co-op needs support.

    From the article: "We wanted to refresh the Army of Two franchise for a new generation of action gamers"

    Uhh, two years isn't really considered a "generation," even in the fast-moving world of gaming.

    Holy **** that was the first thing I thought. A new generation? Like... the generation that was ten when 40th Day came out, found CoD a year later, and now needs serious doses of Adderol to maintain a functional life? That could be a good game.

    I agree, though, I enjoyed the first game. Between AoT, GoW, Marvel: UA, and RE5, I sunk countless hours into couch co-op with my roommate when I was in the Marine Corps. Beer and video games were more or less a nightly occurrence.

    Visceral Games's involvement definitely interests me. Just give it to the Dead Space team and not the Godfather/Dante's Inferno team.

    The tag line to the article is, "And Twitter was instantly divided" and the first sentence begins, "Whether it pleases you or angers you..."

    And then the entire article rest of the article reads like a copy-pasted press release. Opens the door (baits?) for some sort of discussion/argument/opinion, but then does zero with it. This is one reason why I usually avoid clicking on Keri's articles.

    If they fix the terrible, loose controls, I might be interested.
