Square Enix Launches Free Browser-Based Games Portal
Square Enix has launched a browser-based gaming portal called Core Online. The free site currently features a few titles from the publisher/developer, with more promised soon.
Hitman: Blood Money and Mini Ninjas are now available, and the site says that Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (above) is coming in October. Tomb Raider: Underworld and Gyromancer are also listed, with Square Enix saying that future games on the site will draw from the company's worldwide roster.
The free, ad-supported service supports the Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer browsers (although some games do not support certain combos of those browsers and Macs), and users can click to any level within the games, as well as have their saves and achievements stored in the cloud.
Take a look at the site for yourself.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
