It was only yesterday that the embargo on Capcom's Captivate event lifted and news about what Capcom has in-store for gamers over the next year was revealed.  Included in this bevvy of information was the announcement that Bionic Commando: Rearmed, the remake of the classic NES title, would be getting a sequel, though it wasn't clear whether or not the sequel would also include a two player co-op mode like its predecessor.  Well, Capcom has released the official details and it seems that not only will two player co-op be back, but it will also be "better than ever."  While that's all that's revealed about Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2's co-op, the rest of the details offer some possibilities for how the co-op could be improved.

iPhones, iPads, iPods, they are everywhere you look.  The ubiquitous devices are totally ingrained into modern culture.  (If they'd just lose the AT&T exclusivity, I'd ingrain one into my own personal culture.)  But will the iPhone really take off as a gaming platform?  That remains to be seen, but recent announcements indicate that Apple is serious about gaming on it's devices.

It's been an exciting couple of weeks concerning Gears of War 3, what with the game's reveal, trailer release, and (the most exciting for many of us) the announcement of 4-player co-op! April 2011 seems suddenly painfully far away, but perhaps you can find some satisfaction in clothing your XBL avatar in Gears of War 3, er, gear. Microsoft is offering T-shirts, hats, full body armor, and a cute (while also feeeearsome!) ticker pet for your avatar, ranging from 80  to 320 . You can check the full list out on the XBL marketplace.

The Dante's Inferno co-op DLC is almost here, with a planned release for April 29th of this month on both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.  Called The Trials of St. Lucia, players can play online in two player co-op against waves of enemies with set goals per wave.  These waves are completely user customizable, which can then be shared online for others to download.

Zombies queued all night to get the new Passing DLC

So far in our quest for Halo Reach knowledge we've learned a few key things. There will be different classes, types of gameplay (including stealth), and new weapons. Of course, all of this takes place in a world full of Spartans and Spartan technology, so we want to know how these things work in a practical setting. GeneralGames.ca had a hands on preview recently where they played the multiplayer mode and got to try out some of these phenomenal changes in the Halo universe. Are these things to look forward to? I'd say so.

This week we wanted to honor some phenomenal Indie games that cost a mere dollar on Xbox LIVE Arcade, and a few honorable mentions of Co-op Indie games that were very enjoyable. Everything in this episode is on the cheap, so if you've got 80(POINTS) or so lying around, you should check these out.

There's plenty of solid co-op news to go around in the latest episode of the Co-Opticast. Gears of War 3, Dead Rising 2, FEAR 3, Red Dead Redemption and Fable 3 Co-Op babies. Seriously how did publishers fit all of that in a two week time span?

Straight out of Capcom's "Captivate" event in Hawaii comes a fresh batch of screenshots from the recently announced co-op mode for Dead Rising 2.  With them, we get an idea of the variety in the character customization we are going to have for our own respective Chuck Greene.

So, you just can't wait until the new Left 4 Dead 2 DLC comes out, eh?  Neither can we.  The thought of a crossover between the original survivors and the new quartet has us giddy as a zombie with a handful of brains.  The achievements for "The Passing" have been revealed, so if you don't mind a spoiler or two, why not check them out?  As is the case with most Valve games, the achievements themselves are well thought out, and hilariously titled. 

Blacklight: Tango Down was recently announced with a four player co-op mode called Blackops. Details were sketchy as to exactly what this would entail, but we tracked down Zombie Studios Producer Andy Kipling and got the dirt on what to expect from co-op when the game launches this summer.

It's a huge hit in Japan, but the Monster Hunter series has never quite taken off here in North America.  Capcom hopes to change all that with their latest entry into the series, Monster Hunter Tri for the Nintendo Wii.
