Dec 5, 2007 In their latest issue, GamesRadar Sister mag Xbox World had a few not-so-nice things to say about conspicuously release-date slipping filthy-mouthed co-op shooter Army of Two. From the article: As anyone whos read the Bible (or as is more likely, seen Governor Arnolds End of Days) will tell you, the Devil comes in many forms. Sometimes hes a little boy named Damien, sometimes hes a girl whose head can turn a full 360 degrees, and sometimes hes under deep, deep cover as a ... » Read More

Army of Two - updated hands-on

360 Preview | Army of Two

Oct 22, 2007 "Co-op isn't the mode; it's the game." Thats what Army of Two's producers told us before we sat down for a bit more playtime with the upcoming shooter. What they meant is that they've built a co-op experience first and then added the game around that. We didn't learn much more about the story than we did with our first hands-on preview, but we got a feel for how a closer to finished version of the game will feel, and with the game coming out early next year, it should be nearly ... » Read More

Army of Two - hands-on

360 Preview | Army of Two

Tuesday 24 July 2007 Forget about co-op play meaning a simple retread of the single-player experience with a few more enemies. No, Army of Two is the real deal. A game fully focused on the two-player mechanic, to the point where solo play takes a bit-part role. MMOs have been using an aggro system for ages, but its use here in a shooter is quite new. The 'aggrometer' - a gauge that swings between players as they provoke enemies - gives new possibilities for tactical play as one player works to ... » Read More

E3 07: Army of Two - hands-on

360 Preview | Army of Two

Given publisher EA's reputation for producing relatively innocuous games with mass-market appeal, it's weird to see them tackle something as overtly political as Army of Two. Part ultraviolent shooter, part troubling polemic on the US military's increasing reliance on mercenaries - sorry, "private military companies" - Army of Two envisions a near future in which powerful PMCs scheme to keep the world in a state of constant (and extremely profitable) war. And you're working for them. As one ... » Read More

Army of Two

360 Preview | Army of Two

Alain Tascan of EA Montreal wasnt too impressed with Epics high-octane, high-scorer Gears of War - the Vice President of the company that brings us yearly sports and Harry Potter updates felt that the vicious antics of Fenix and co. lacked innovation. Crazy words indeed, but at least he had the decency to admit that if Army of Two fails to dazzle, he will be guzzling Milk of Magnesia in an attempt to digest those words. But with each passing new scrap of info on this wise-cracking, ... » Read More

Army of Two in action

360 Preview | Army of Two

Thursday 11 May 2006 Set in the Middle East a year in the future, Army of Two sees Americas heavy military losses force a situation where corporate armies send mercenaries to the frontlines. You could call it terrifyingly prophetic, but after our behind closed doors sneak peek wed prefer to call it a stonkingly exciting, visually superb action blast. Army of Two is a two-man, third person shooter with an emphasis on teamwork and we got a chance to see how the single-player element will handle ... » Read More

E3 06: Army of Two

360 Preview | Army of Two

As a member of a privately held, incorporated military force, it's up to you to take the toughest jobs and blast your way through them. Our private viewing of Army of Two brought us into the bipolar world of tactics times two. Based strictly on a premise where two warriors are better than one, Army of Two is all about teamwork. You and a friend (or EA's "partner artificial intelligence" that can sub-in for a pal) rapid-fire your way through contemporary settings in hotspots that conventional, ... » Read More
