Edge of Reality’s Loadout has been recently released on Steam, and it’s completely free to pick up and play. As with any free-to-play title, it comes with a microtransaction system, but unless you feel the need to stand out and buy goofy outfits, there’s no real incentive to spend real money. So what’s Loadout? It’s a 3rd person shooter with ...

Valve Invites Onward Dev to Studios
Onward, the VR military simulator that was released earlier this year, has a particularly important fan: Valve. Dante Buckley developed and continues to refine the game all by himself, and Valve just yesterday invited him to continue working on Onward in their offices in January 2017. For those who haven’t played Onward or know nothing about it, this announcement means ...

Castle Crashers was one of the biggest games on the Xbox 360’s Xbox Live Arcade. Its bright art style, excellent multiplayer, and insanely fun gameplay made it an instant hit. Since then, we haven’t really seen much like it. Thankfully, The Behemoth has seen it fit to bring the glorious adventure into the next generation with Castle Crashers Remastered on Xbox One. ...
Read More »Halo 5: Guardians at Gamescom
As expected, the flagship title of Xbox showed off another gameplay trailer, this time mostly concentrated on multiplayer. As such, a lot of the trailer showed off things like shotgun sliding and ground pounding, a clear indication of the faster gameplay that 343 Industries is focusing on. Once the trailer was over, some gameplay of a CTF game between two ...

Psyonix is now accepting sign-ups for the second closed Beta testing of their upcoming game Rocket League. During their first Rocket League Beta, over one hundred thousand games were played, half a million goals were scored, and about one million miles were driven.

Read More »Steam Greenlight Spotlight: Estoc
Today’s Greenlight spotlight is focusing on Estoc, a simplistic multiplayer sword-fighting game. Often in games, simple mechanics lead to boring and repetitive gameplay, which in turn repels potential players. Estoc features such simple mechanics that I worry it won’t have enough lasting potential to draw a large community. However, as well as Nidhogg did (which is a very similar game), ...

https://youtu.be/KqqdP8wbbrM Today’s Greenlight Spotlight is on Tiki Galore. Tiki Galore is an online multiplayer arena in which players control a Tiki Warrior with an unusual thirst to dominate his or her opponents. Battle your friends in free-for-all or team battles which take place in various immersive tropical levels. To be honest, the reason I chose to spotlight the game was ...

https://youtu.be/_Qqx39WJYFE Today’s Greenlight spotlight is on Invisagun Heroes, a multiplayer battle game with a unique twist. My group of friends and I are always looking for some new party games to play, so I always jump at the opportunity to add a new game to our collection. While games like Gang Beasts and Towerfall: Ascension are staples in our local ...

I’ll admit it. Multiplayer games are not as popular with me as they are with a lot of people. I find it difficult to get enough players together to play most co-op games, and I hate playing competitive multiplayer games because of the anger involved with most communities. There is, however, one game that solves both of those problems for ...
Read More »Steam Greenlight Spotlight: Gunnheim
Today’s Greenlight spotlight is on Gunnheim, a top-down shooter with a strong focus on bringing back the classic fun of local multiplayer experiences. Unfortunately, in the age of internet and minimal face-to-face interaction, couch co-op is not even close to being as popular as it once was. However, I have seen a greater public outcry for local multiplayer recently, and ...
