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.

State of Decay Review
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...

Rumor: Cooperative Play Coming to Dead Space 3

Posted on Wednesday, May 9 @ 11:21:24 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


There's a wide array or rumors currently surrounding the impending Dead Space threequel, the latest of which being that drop-in, drop-out co-op is headed to the game's campaign. Considering the fact that the franchise has traditionally placed a strong emphasis on horror, added cooperative play sounds a bit counterintuitive (see Resident Evil 5). Then again, Electronic Arts has been pushing multiplayer (in any way, shape or form) on the bulk of the games it publishes, so bearing that in mind, the alleged addition does sound rather plausible.

This report comes from a source close to IGN, which states that the second player will control Isaac's guide, another engineer clad in a similar RIG outfit, bearing a helmet with glowing red eyes. It goes without saying that if this rumor does in fact prove to be true, the campaign experience is bound to feature a number of changes.

While mixing up the Dead Space formula is necessary to move the series forward and prevent the franchise from growing stale, is added co-op really the best direction for Visceral to go? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

    If you are wary about the addition of co-op being added to keep things lively, keep in mind that it HAS to be better than Dead Space 2's multiplayer. From what I recall it was pretty atrocious. That being said, what other direction could/should they go in if not co-op?

    I for one would like to see some new enemies. As much fun as I have dismembering necromorphs, there really wasn't a whole lot of variety to the formula.

    I hope not horde mode multiplayer. I wasn't a fan of how they did that for ME3 and made it more or less a necessity to play. The frustrating thing with it is your galactic readiness decreases if you stop playing for a few days.

    It's not just EA everybody and their dog is doing it too.

    I would rather there be horde mode multiplayer than co-op story with Issac. The core story of Dead Space revolves around Issac Clarke's insanity. If there is someone else there with you, it wouldn't make sense for them to see the same things you do as Issac, and it would break the atmosphere even more than just killing the whole survival/horror aspect. Sure, multiplayer, no to co-op story mode unless its something completely separate and doesn't involve Issac
