Don't pay full price for co-op games this summer. Here's our handy guide to getting the most out of your dollar for some of the biggest co-op games the rest of the year. In total you'll save about $75 off the retail price of six games.
I'm not sure if you realize this, but the Halo Reach mutliplayer beta is a less than 10 days away. And while, sadly, we won't be getting a taste of the game's co-op mode(s), we will get to have our hands wrapped around the new weaponary and items Reach has to offer.
We've covered various headsets on this site before, something we feel is pretty important to cooperative gaming. Sound quality aside, we think voice capability and functionality is a big part of what makes headsets the ideal choice for online co-op gamers. Headsets are adding more and more features, and becoming more and more versatile.
The wait for a new Ghost Recon game is almost finally over, and Ubisoft and Red Storm are taking the opportunity to make a number of significant changes. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be ramping up the speed of combat and the teamwork aspects of the long-running series. If Splinter Cell: Conviction is anything to judge by, the result could very well be a great game.
This week in co-op, I played the Crackdown DLC titled "Keys to the City" with internet personality Keadin. This DLC was by far the strangest, most unique, and most pointless DLC I've ever played - and I loved every second of it. Follow me now through the gates of Paradise City using their own Keys.
Zombies - they're every where these days, yet gamers just can't seem to kill enough of them. Amidst the excitement of Left 4 Dead 2's The Passing DLC release, Game Informer has posted some new gameplay footage of Dead Rising 2 that features two Chuck Greenes taking out the zombie hordes cooperatively. How, you might ask? How about running them over with tricycles? Does that do anything for ya? The video is short, but it definitely had me laughing at the creative ways players will be able to team up to put the undead down for good, and itching to try some of these methods out with a friend.
Earlier this week, we got a glimpse of Super Mario Galaxy 2's co-op mode in action from a screenshot taken off the official Japanese site for the game. While it wasn't much to go on, we were, never-the-less, hopeful that the second player would have more to do this time around than just shoot stars at enemies. Joystiq.com recently had the opportunity to get some hands-on time with the co-op mode, and it sounds like our hopes weren't entirely unfounded. In addition to having more direct interaction with the enemies, your star buddy will also be able to more directly support Mario in his adventure across the galaxy.
A few weeks back we told you how the re-release of MechWarrior 4 was in legal limbo, and MekTek had pleaded with the internet to help out to some degree. It appears the plea was enough, as Microsoft has given the green light for the game's re-release.
We've got a fresh batch of 36 screenshots for Clash of the Titans on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. 35 screens would have been too few, and 37 too many, but the magical number of 36 seems just about right for gigantic creature smashing goodness.
What you see above is the Legendary Edition of Halo Reach, which weighs in at an estimated $149.99 asking price. You'll notice the distinct lack of cat helmet, a phrase that become famous with the Legendary Edition of Halo 3.
Two new characters have been unveiled as members of the Transformers: War for Cybertron cast today. The three player co-op title already has a few fan favorites like Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Megatron - but very few other characters are actually confirmed as playable.
