10.16.2011

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (360, PS3, Wii, PC, 3DS)  It's a video game that works with toys, or toys that work with a video game! (2 player local co-op)

Janes's Advanced Strike Fighters (PC, Xbox 360, PS3)  The beloved flight sim franchise has a little more arcade in its getup this time around.  (4 player online co-op)

PAYDAY: The Heist (PSN)  Hey, remember that movie Heat?  Payday is supposed to be like that, except there will be more shooting, less acting, and no Val Kilmer.  (4 player online co-op)

Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One (PS3)  One of the PS3's biggest franchises is dishing out some serious co-op love, supporting everything we like to see in a co-op title.  (4 player local co-op, 4 player online co-op, combo co-op)

Beat Hazard Ultra (PSN)  Your actual music controls the ebb and flow of the game.  It's magic. (2 player online, 2 player local)

Okabu (PSN)  This cutesy little charmer features some intriguing puzzles.  It's nature vs industry in this environmentally conscious family game.  (2 player local co-op)
