Xbox LIVE Release Schedule Announces Co-op Bonanza

Zombies queued all night to get the new Passing DLC

Major Nelson's regular posting of upcoming Xbox LIVE releases is always a time to hold your breath in anticipation as to what goodies may be on the way.  Well time to exhale co-op lovers as the next couple of weeks has some great offers for you.  Firstly, the post officially announces the release date of Left 4 Dead 2's The Passing  as April 22nd - that's tomorrow!  Major Nelson also reminds people that the official beta for Halo: Reach is to begin on May 3rd for people who have a copy of Halo: ODST gathering dust on their shelf.

If this was not enough, the next couple of weeks have two co-op XBLA gems reduced to $5.  The week beginning April 26th has The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai for 400 MSP and the week beginning May 3rd has Zombie Apocalypse also reduced to 400 MSP.  The Dishwasher received a reasonable review score from Co-Optimus, whilst Zombie Apocalypse received a cracking 4.5 out of 5.  For such a low price both games are worth picking up for any co-op player looking for a new challenge.
