Rocketbirds: Couch Co-Op Mode Revealed
+ Posted by Sian Yue Tan
After its triple nomination at the 2010 Independent Games Festival, the Rocketbirds universe is finally approaching release — and only on PSN. Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken takes you on a cinematic platform adventure through Albatropolis. In the single-player mode, you’re Hardboiled Chicken, the original Coq of War, on a mission to hunt down the Penguin’s corrupt leader, Putzki. Along the way you’ll have to kill many Penguins, solve puzzles, incite revolution, and maybe possibly pilot a few jetpacks.
Today I’d like to share a bit about the game’s two-player couch co-op mode, since we are particularly happy with the way it’s turned out. But first, check out some gameplay in our new Rocketbirds co-op video.

Hmmmmm… it’s too early for Christmas, and still too early for “trick or treats” in your ModNation goodie bag but we’ve got too much good stuff just to keep it all to ourselves.
So… FREE DLC giveaway and Double XP! Check it out below.
Build It, Race It, Post It, Rate It
That’s a pretty daft title for an announcement of DOUBLE XP week but sometimes we just throw caution to the wind like the punks that we are. Double XP October 10th – 17th means it is “get busy” week in the ModNation. You’ll earn 100% more XP in all XP races as well as double the fun with every download of your creations. Will this be the week you reach level 30? We hope so!

We haven’t heard a great deal about DUST 514 since it was shown at E3 2011, other than that it’s a first-person shooter connected to the vast sci-fi universe of PC MMO EVE Online, and that it’s coming exclusively to PlayStation 3. When developers CCP made the trip from Iceland to London to outline their vision for this new addition to their immensely popular EVE universe, I came out of the meeting amazed at the scale of the project. Suffice to say, DUST 514 is not just another shooter.
After the meeting, I interrogated Brandon Laurino, Executive Producer at CCP, to find out exactly why PlayStation 3 owners should be getting excited.

Tomorrow, I’ll have the chance to play the first few hours of Assassin’s Creed Revelations’ single-player story. As a big fan of the series thus far, I’ve got plenty of questions. But I’d like to know what *you* want to know about the game’s campaign. Please feel free to guide me with your suggestions in the comments here.
In the meantime, you can find stories on Batman: Arkham City, Eufloria, Rage, and PlayStation Vita below.

A robust week for PSN news, including an update that allows a free download of the NHL GameCenter application, a list of The Tester: Season 3′s top 20 contenders, a first look at PSN killing machine Shank 2, a new video showing the heroes of Okabu, an October 18th release date for PSN exclusive RocketBirds: Hardboiled Chicken, and a long-awaited PSN release date for co-op tower defense title Dungeon Defenders (October 18th!). That’s in addition to a peek behind Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One’s box art and a confirmed U.S. release for PS3 exclusive Yakuza: Dead Souls. Not bad, eh?

So you’ve taken an interest in Corpse Party, have you? Perhaps you were intrigued by the launch trailer, or laughed at the name when you saw it mentioned on your favorite gaming news site (or hilarious webcomic?). Perhaps you’re a fan of survival horror games, or visual novels, or point-and-click adventures… or perhaps you simply enjoy Japanese horror movies like The Ring and The Grudge, and are always looking for your next fix.
Regardless of why you’ve taken an interest or how you got to this blog, there’s one thing that most likely holds true: You have very little idea what Corpse Party actually is.
