There really aren't enough co-op multiplayer games around, to the point where Left 4 Dead manages to stand out basically unchallenged. They're fantastic games in their own right, especially if you have people to enjoy them with, but ultimately there isn't much competition. That's going to change soon, when Evolve is released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC later this year.

There have been a number of times over the last generation, when we've been told that local split-screen just isn't possible because the graphics of a game is SO good. I remember receiving a lecture from a rep at Eurogamer about why Hunted: The Demon's Forge couldn't possibly have local co-op because of how gorgeous the visuals were. Of course, it had co-op, but the representative firmly denied it anyway

Ok, so Square Enix are playing this game. Despite the fact that a Game of the Year edition is almost certainly coming to PC, and despite the fact that it would make sense to have the new features of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition in that Game of the Year release, Eidos representatives are still saying that it isn't going to happen.

Titanfall is looking like it'll be a fun sci-fi arcade shooter and a great boon to Xbox 360 and Xbox One. PC gamers will also be able to pick it up, and, if Call of Duty has been anything to go by, it'll be a pretty nice experience through that as well. One things for certain though: you won't be downloading mods for the game any time soon, probably not at all.

I never really managed to get into the multiplayer modes present in Tomb Raider, but there were very mixed murmurs about it. Some people loved it, others hated it, but that's what happens when a previously single player franchise turns its attention to the online mode. Those that didn't enjoy it, or who didn't fully test it, have another chance to check it out with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as the back-end has been completely re-written.

It's a dangerous thing to consider: that game that you paid $60 for last year, re-released on a next-gen machine, where the developers expect you to pay another $60 for some minor new features. On a Q&A at the official Eidos forums, Scot Amos defended the decision to charge full price on the next-gen version of Tomb Raider.

An anonymous tipster sent in the documents to Kotaku a couple of weeks ago, most of them supposedly used for a casting-call project called "Institute". The word Fallout is never mentioned in any of the papers, but the dialogue contains the requisite Fallout phrase, "War. War never changes", and the casting director has worked on other Bethesda properties, including Skyrim.

In a case of stuck between a rock and a hard place, Bethesda's latest trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online, released to YouTube today, has been attacked by both fans of MMOs and fans of The Elder Scrolls.

Bethesda has today announced the release date for The Elder Scrolls Online. The fantasy MMO was supposed to be released earlier this year, but was delayed around the same time that next-gen versions of each were announced at E3.

Microsoft have today announced that their Xbox One console has sold two million units in the fortnight since it came out. That's an amazing achievement and one that puts it almost neck and neck with the PlayStation 4. Fanboys might not have ammo for their pointless online arguments, but one thing is certain: it's a good time to be a gamer.
