Yup. That's what I'm talking about.

The family budget concept is alive and well among co-op couples in 2010, laying waste to dreams of uninhibited video game purchases. How does that translate to gameplay? You'd be surprised at just how well it does.

Out now on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is the first set of DLC for Army of Two: The 40th Day.  Titled Chapters of Deceit, it adds two new campaign missions for players to experience.  

We recently told you about the Chapter of Deceit DLC pack for Army of Two: The 40th Day.   This first piece of premium content for the two player co-op titles adds new campaign missions that take place during the main storyline.  

Those of you who follow the Army of Two Twitter account may have noticed a rather exciting announcement this morning: "DLC!!! First look at Chapters of Deceit, coming April 1st."  Despite the usual association made with April 1, it seems this no joke and that our co-op heroes from Army of Two: The 40th Day will be back for more action quite soon.  From the blog announcement: "Chapters of Deceit features two all-new co-op campaign maps. In the new chapters, players stumble upon information that could lead to ending the invasion by Jonah and his 40th Day Initiative army. However, they quickly learn that everyone is out for themselves and to trust no one but their partner."

Despite selling 2.9 million copies of Left 4 Dead 2, as well as 2.7 million of Dragon Age: Origins, Electronic Arts posted a loss of 82 million dollars last quarter.  Sounds bad, right?  Considering the same quarter last year EA lost over 641 million dollars,  that's a pretty solid improvement year over year.

If you were looking to join our co-op night this Thursday for Army of Two: The 40th Day, but have neglected to pick up the title, now you can snag it for $39.99 on Amazon in a limited time sale.  Both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions qualify for the special pricing.

It's time once again for our monthly Xbox Live Co-Op Night, a great chance to beef up your friends list, make new friends, and get those pesky achievements you've been trying to obtain. This month we're playing Army of Two: The 40th Day in both campaign and Extraction modes. Plus - PRIZES!

If you didn't pre-order the Army of Two: The 40th Day, you're probably missing a code to access the four player co-op extraction mode. Don't worry, we have you covered. We're kicking off the latest contest with 30 keys to giveaway to prep for our Xbox Live co-op night next week. Read on to win.

The original Army of Two was marketed to the fans of buddy co-op. In 2009 EA Vancouver promised to vastly improve on the original with Army of Two: The 40th Day. We were impressed with our PAX hands-on and community day visit - did the final game hold up?

If you purchase a copy of Army of Two: The 40th Day - which ships to retailers and some customers today - you'll probably get a couple of EA-sponsored fliers in the game packaging. One is an advertisement for upcoming EA games...the other is for an upcoming Army of Two comic book under the new brand EA Comics.

Tomorrow is the day.  Grab a friend and get ready to fist bump your way into a destruction filled Shanghai in Army of Two: The 40th Day.  We've been covering the game in depth since last April, when we got an exclusive first look at the game.  Next we saw the game at PAX, where our own Jim and Jason joined Rios and Salem, getting the scoop on weapon customization and more.  And just when you thought we couldn't bring you any more coverage, we went hands on with Extraction, and talked to the game's lead multiplayer designer.
