Games for Windows Live might not be the best service on the planet, but it did provide gamers with opportunities to do some neat co-op stuff. In this case, unfortunately, we learned recently that Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition on Steamworks will not support its split screen co-op mod previously available on Games For Windows Live.
As Microsoft's Games for Windows Live service retired, many titles that utilized it have become dormant for online multiplayer. Thankfully many companies are still supporting their games and going back and retrofitting Steamworks (Steam) support into them. Capcom is the latest to do this with three of their titles.
Good Co-Op, Bad Co-Op - a tale of two friends who love playing games together. The man who gives the best upsidedown hugs, Sunflower4000 and the love wizard Locke have put their differences aside and teamed up cooperatively in a battle against fate.
This two-player, local and online co-op game just doesn't seem to stay down for long: starting October 4th (next Tuesday), the Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition will appear on the PlayStation Network as an on-demand title. I can't see this really being top news, though, because everyone has played and loved this game by now. Right? Anyone?

Let's face it, a lot has happened between the years of great Resident Evil titles. From the change of scenery from the Mansion and Racoon City to the far reaches of Spain and Africa, to the inclusion of co-op in on rails shooter The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil 5. It now looks like Capcom wants to speed up the growth a bit by releasing a new Resident Evil game every 2 years or so, instead of approximately every 4 years.
Hi, my name is ShadokatRegn, and I have a problem. Not like an addiction or anything, it's almost as bad though. You see, when I start something with a particular friend, I have trouble continuing without them. This was the case with the game Resident Evil 5. Here's my story.
Round two of the Resident Evil 5 DLC has been released today. This chapter of the Resident Evil 5 addition takes you through Jills survival after Chris rescues her from the clutches of Wesker in the main storyline. You'll play as Jill and Josh to see exactly how Josh assists in her continuation of the storyline and it's bound to be a tense time. The DLC is titled "Desperate Escape," and is available on Xbox LIVE for 400 or the PSN for $5. This pack will also include additional characters and outfits for Mercenaries mode, which is also delectably co-op.
Resident Evil 5 is the name of the game, and surviving the new DLC mode requires strategy. On The Download this week will be taking an in-depth, but spoiler-free look "Lost In Nightmares." We'll also explore new DLC and Arcade titles, as well as our recommended freebie of the week.
If you downloaded the first piece of the Resident Evil 5 content called "Lost in Nightmares" you're getting more than just 2 player co-op play and new outfits for your characters, it contains the classic Resident Evil camera found in the earlier games of the series.
Just in time for the release of the first of two new DLC packs, Resident Evil 5 joins the list of great co-op titles (one of which is slated for tomorrow's XBox LIVE Co-Op Night) available through XBox LIVE's Games on Demand service. Now, I'm sure the question many of you are asking is, "Shouldn't I just wait and buy the Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition that's set to be released in three weeks' time?" Well, if you crunch the numbers on all of it, snagging the Games on Demand version of Resident Evil 5 ($29.99) and all of the DLC as it becomes available, which in total will come to 1520 , will set you back about $48.98. That's just a couple dollars more than the current pre-order price for the Gold Edition on Amazon of $46.99. To put it another way, picking up the game and the "Lost in Nightmares" DLC now gets you an additional three weeks to enjoy the new Jill and Chris chapter, as well as zombie slaying with Excella and Barry Burton in Mercenaries mode, and an additional week with the "Desperate Escape" DLC, all for just $2 more.
