• Taxi3 eXtreme Rush
  HomeLAN Fed's Taxi3 eXtreme Rush Q&A discusses this upcoming arcade racing game with Ronnie Nelis of Dutch developer Team6: "Yes, and we are very proud on this part: Taxi3: eXtreme Rush will completely be cooperation-based. This means that if you and your friend both have an internet connection, you can combine your skills and play the entire story-mode together as a team. Beat the cops together, win races together and help each other to make it to the next level. According to some interviews i've recently read, big names like IDsoftware (quake) and Maxis (Sims) have lost their faith in the future of multiplay games a bit. Team6 thinks that 'cooperation' is a part of multiplay gaming that has always been fun but has been underestimated and forgotten the last couple of years. Just imagine the amount of fun you can have when it would have been possible to play the singleplay missions of a game like Call of Duty in cooperation mode for example."
