So the Expendables 2 game is actually fun

Yeah, I know. Weird, right? I got a chance to playExpendables 2: The Videogameduring San Diego Comic-Con, and found it actually really fun. It’s a simple, yet over-the-top shooter that embraces the absurdity of theExpendablesfranchise. Which is shoot the f*ck out of EVERYTHING. The best part of the whole deal is the four-player local or online drop in/out co-op. Expendables 2: The Videogameis out now on PlayStation Network for $14.99, or $11....

The enemies in Remember Me sure look freaky

So why am I not more excited? Capcom has a new trailer forRemember Me, which features a few enemy types, outcast mutants of some sort, robots, etc. There’s also a perfectly fine amount of the main character, Nilin, engaging with these antagonists. It also has a reasonably inoffensive backing tune which resembles the kind of music uninformed people like myself refer to as “dubstep,” but not quite so loud. In case it wasn’t painfully obvious from the preceding paragraph,Remember Mehasn’t clicked for me yet....

Trine 2’s co-op breaks out with Unlimited Mode

I really enjoyed the firstTrineand its three-way character swapping and it felt like a concept that was just ripe for a cooperative experience. Luckily, developer Frozenbyte is coming through for us in that regard. What really looks interesting is the new Unlimited Mode that allows for all three players to jump in with the same character, rather than fill each of the roles exclusively. Apparently it “changes the game mechanics a lot and it’s a very different experience....
