For the past couple years, Sony has run a week-long sales event focused on co-op games. This joyous time for us co-op gamers usually runs towards the end of November (just in time for the holiday season), but it appears that it's getting an earlier start this year. From now until 8:00 AM Pacific on September 20, you can take advantage of good deals (up to 70% off in some cases) on some great co-op titles like Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition and Dark Souls 3.

Like the mysterious, twisting forces of the world around us, or like a man walking a tightrope over a vat of expired Spaghetti-O's, Diablo 3 strives for perfect balance.  As such, Blizzard has released patch 2.2 to ensure that their game is not only balanced, but also filled with brand new item sets for their players to pilfer from the the remains of formerly living monsters.

Are you holding off picking up the Reaper of Souls expansion for Diablo 3 because you're afraid of nobody playing it with you? Fear not, friends. If the recent sales reports are to be believed, the PC and Mac users out there number 2.7 million, which mean you should be able to find plenty of allies to take down the corrupted angel, Malthael.

The Co-Opticrew have descended into the rifts, that is, the Nephalem Rifts of Diablo 3's expansion, Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls. In glorious four player co-op the crew takes on endless hordes of baddies and elite bosses all in the name of precious loot.

Diablo 3 was a game I greatly enjoyed, but it wasn't without its flaws. The Auction House was a failed experiment, the loot system seemed tuned entirely to fuel said auctions, artificial gating of difficulty modes was an anachronistic concept, and the storyline was met with much derision. With the Reaper of Souls expansion, Blizzard has fixed m...
