We've always said on Co-Optimus that communication is key to a good co-op experience, so why not have it look and sound good too? Today we review Astro's newest headset, the A30. Providing options for voice control and compatiblity with the PC, 360 and PS3 - we'll see if it's worth the price.
Donnie Darko 3 took an unexpected twist
While you may have already seen the game in motion thanks to the first trailer, these screenshots from Little Big Planet 2 give you a good idea of the graphical upgrade the game has gotten from it's predecessor. Everything looks so full of life and texture, like you could just grab it and pull it off the screen.
Multiplayer shooter Combat Arms has hit an important milestone, one we told you about in our preview of the new version of the game. Right on schedule, Nexon has reached over 200 different firearms available in the game, all usable and purchasable by either in game credit or actual cold hard cash.
This is Kat "Shadokat" Pawlowski reporting in for Marc "Djinniman" Allie, who is facing an unforeseen crisis at the moment. He has fallen pray to the realm of single player like so many around him, playing the Iron Man 2 game (which should have had co-op because Warmachine, duh) instead of co-op.

If you don't know what Rockstar's Social Club is, it's the developers web extension of all their games. It's similar to what Bungie.net is for the Halo games.

Is there a rarer genre than the first-person brawler? How about a game where first-person melee combat not only works, but feels good? Chilean developer ACE Team's Zeno Clash is an extremely solid experience set in one of the most bizarre gameworlds I've seen in a long while.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was an excellent game by any account, but we couldn't help but feel the game's campaign needed a co-op element.

E3 2010 is only a month away, and the Co-Opticrew is already in full "get ready" mode. We're feverishly scheduling appointments, planning interviews, and deciding on coverage of the co-op titles and gaming news that we want to bring you.
For some, Kane & Lynch was a so-so third-person shooter that was only made better as a result of the co-op, even if that rewarding co-op experience was hampered by a lack of online co-op. For many, though, Kane & Lynch will always be remembered for the fallout that resulted from Jeff Gerstmann's Gamespot review. The game's director, Karsten Lund, however, came away with a different feeling about the title - that it was an original IP for which a sequel was worth making and worth making right. MTV Multiplayer spoke with Karsten about Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days and what was on their list of improvements to make this time around.
