Go Cooperate With Yourself – Brothers: Tale Of Two Sons

By Nathan Grayson on March 9th, 2013.

Auditions for a third brother were eventually called off after the pair realized the talent pool wasn't particularly deep.

Starbreeze debuted a fairly promising-looking trailer for its bro-op puzzle adventure Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons not too terribly long ago, but it wasn’t tremendously illuminating in regards to how the game will actually, you know, play. Now, however, we finally have a (multi-part) answer: a) as a fascinating little hybrid of single-player and co-op, and b) probably better with a gamepad. While the latter’s got me feeling less-than-brotherly toward Starbreeze (so much so, in fact, that I’ll make fun of them for having a name that sounds like a fabric softener. Hah! Take that), I’m still quite intrigued by the possibilities here. Have your own brother help you past the break to see it in action. Unless you don’t have a brother. Then I guess you should just give up.

Bro-op: Starbreeze Reveals Fantasy Romp ‘Brothers’

By Nathan Grayson on September 28th, 2012.


Starbreeze likes dark things. Once upon a time, it put out the pitch black Chronicles of Riddick and, er, The Darkness – among others. (It also helmed the recent Syndicate reboot, but we don’t talk about that.) Its next big project, then, comes as quite the change of pace. To my knowledge, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is almost entirely bereft of hyper-violent space prison shankings or entrail-devouring demon tentacles. Instead, it’s a fantasy to-do about… well, pretty much everything’s in the title. Brothers (who are also sons) set out to cure their deathly ill father (who is presumably also someone’s son, and maybe someone else’s brother). Also, Swedish filmmaker Josef Fares is involved. Catch a quick peek after the break.
