Yeah I suppose it's time to take the fight to Earth and hit the notes of the G1 cartoon. I love the game and the multiplayer was fun as super fuck. Bring back story co-op, missed that.

Didn't they take out co-op because of the addition of character centric missions?

Given the choice I'd rather have the latter. So much more variety in Fall. War felt a bit redundant at times, and there wasn't much difference between the playable characters.

Still, it does seem like a lame excuse. Not impossible to have co-op with falls variety.

Yeah, I suppose given a choice FoC was the better decision. I like the Horde mode they put in anyway.

I would think basic pattern recognition would be enough for that.

Waste of their talent.

Tomb Raider is being ported to PS4 and XB1. AKA a port of the PC version.

Getting this from the VGX by the way. It's worth a watch purely for Joel McHale, who is brilliant.

What time are the videogame awards?

Elijah Wood and Jack Black are in the Double Fine adventure game.

Telltale are also doing a Game of Thrones game.
