Poor Billy. Poor, sad, Billy. Poor, sad, lonely, Billy. Poor, sad, lonely, depressed, Billy. Poor, sad, - okay I think you got it. I regret to inform you, dear reader, that there appears to be a shortage of co-op game releases this week. And by shortage, I mean none. Even the XBLA and PSN have let us down. So what's a gamer to do?
You could always start up a new character in one of your favorite games. Or you could get started on your backlog. Finished your backlog? Are you sure? Maybe you missed something. A lot of great co-op games came out this fall. Here's a list of all the retail co-op titles that have come out since September 6th. Feel free to add any retail co-op games I may have missed in the comments section. I'll post the downloadable titles soon. Probably next week. Probably...
