While the first De Blob game offered 4 player co-op in a special mode on the Wii, the new title - aptly named De Blob 2 will offer a two player co-op campaign for families to enjoy together.  The game has also expanded from a Wii only title to a multiplatform game with an Xbox 360 and PS3 version shipping as well when it launches on March 22nd.  THQ describes the new co-op mode a bit like Super Mario Galaxy, your co-op partner takes the role of Pinky and helps De Blob paint the town with color as well as destroying enemies and collecting power ups.

Congratulations, its a demon

System requirements are what PC gamers use to measure up just how awesome their rig is currently. Do you laugh when looking upon the the minimum requirements? Is your computer better than the recommended system specs? Or is your trusty PC starting to show its age, and only a little better than some of the areas of the minimum requirements? These are the questions PC gamers look forward to answering when games release their system requirements to the fans.

Today the NPD Group released the final sales estimates for 2010 including console sales figures and game sales numbers.  On the gaming front, the top 10 best selling titles were unveiled, and there's not too many shockers on there.  What's good to know is that cooperative games held their own, or at least, games containing co-op modes.  

The Conduit 2 is coming out for the Nintendo Wii on March 1, 2011.  This new teaser showcases some of the locales from the game before exploding into fast-paced action.  The graphics look dated, even for a Wii title, but shiny graphics are not the end all be all when it comes to gaming.  The Conduit 2 will have a four player survival mode where players can team up locally to battle waves of enemies.  Not incredibly original, but hey, take your co-op shooting when you can get it on the Wii.  Be sure to watch the video all the way to the end. That's where the magic happens.  

Ruffian Games, the makers of Crackdown 2, are looking for a few good men and/or women to help them work on some new projects.  No details are given, other than the projects are "really exciting, high action, visceral titles that are heavily focussed on online."  Is Crackdown 3 in the works?  Maybe.  Is Ruffian Games hiring new coders to work on new games?  Definitely.  

Immediately following the events of Dead Rising 2, Chuck Greene runs into a familiar face who is looking for answers and willing to help. That familiar face is Frank West as he arrives on the scene to help Chuck search for the evidence of being set up and maybe a permanent cure for Chuck's daughter.

What the hell are you?  'Splosion Man's cat?

It was only a few short weeks ago we told you about a portable version of Earth Defense Force 2 on the PlayStation Portable.  As of now, the game is only announced for a Japanese release, but with a full fledged console sequel on the way later this year, we're crossing our fingers for some co-op bug squashing on the go in the rest of the world.

Eat Them! is a giant-monster-run-amok game in the vein of Rampage or King of the Monsters. Up to four players can team up locally for some city destroying action. Beautiful cel-shaded graphics accentuate the campy feel of the game, bringing your custom created monsters to life.

Yesterday we brought you a video of Bulletstorm's send up of Halo 3's diorama-rific ad.  The latest vid focuses on some of the skillshots available in the game.   Graphically, it looks great.  It also seems like it has the sensibilities and sense of humor a very disturbed, very angry 14 year old.  Too bad it's rated 'Mature', just like this new video.  Bulletstorm is available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC.  It's available February 22, and has a four player online co-op mode.  Seriously, this game looks like it was spawned from Xbox LIVE game chat. 

I follow Twisted Pixel on Twitter, so it caught my eye last night when I saw the makings of a rumble. Deciphering tweets is an exercise in masochism, so I will sum up:  Did you ever play the excellent 'Splosion Man?  You know, the one made by indie developer Twisted Pixel that let you 'splode everywhere?  The game that may have the greatest end credit sequence of all time?  Well Capcom hopes you didn't.  Their new title for the iPhone, MaXplosion, looks more than a little familiar.  It looks like a cheap version of 'Splosion Man, with a whole lot less awesome.
