Gears of War has a long standing tradition of mixing visuals, music, and emotion in their trailers for the game. It started with the Mad World Trailer for Gears 1, followed by The Last Day for Gears 2, and now with the third game we have a trailer called Ashes to Ashes.
As we near the June 8 release of Green Day Rock Band, the complete song list has been revealed. As expected, the heaviest emphasis is on the band's most popular albums: Dookie, American Idiot, and 21st Century Breakdown. (A personal favorite, Brain Stew is one of the included tracks, as well.) One surprising revelation is that there will be only three venues, which is much less than other music game titles. Exporting the disc's 47 songs into other Rock Band games will cost $10, but it's free if you buy the enhanced version, known as Green Day Rock Band Plus. This version will also include the previously released Green Day DLC.
Despite a new co-op mode "not being likely" we got information about a new co-op mode coming to Uncharted 2 via a leak. Today we have the official announcement and screens straight from Sony and Naughty Dog that unveil the next piece of content to be released on April 22nd.
Army of Two: The 40th Day originally contained seven meaty chapters, which we enjoyed playing through. For $9.99 on the PlayStation Network or 800 on Xbox Live you can now add the Chapters of Deceit downloadable content - two more sections of the campaign that give you an alternate story arc and plenty more bad guys to kill.
Here are a couple of back-to-back rumors from the last couple of weeks, both of which could possibly bode well for co-op gamers: Treyarch is supposedly hard at work on Call of Duty: Black Ops - the seventh in the series - and according to lawsuit paperwork from Activision, what's left of Infinity Ward is pushing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 through pre-production.
We're just one week away from Monster Hunter Tri's release on the Wii, the first major game in the Monster Hunter series to be released on a non-Sony platform, and Capcom recently announced some new features for this title to entice fans and newcomers alike. Rather than taking the usual DLC approach to extending the game's life, Capcom has revealed that they will host special online only events once a month that players may participate in in order to face off against rare monsters and earn unique items. Each of the events are cooperative in nature and, of course, entail taking down gigantic monsters, one way or another.
The first Left 4 Dead's DLC is on sale this week on Xbox Live for Gold Members. Normally setting you back 560 , or about $7, the pack is on sale for 320 , or about $4.

We covered Mommy's Best Games' vertical scroller Shoot 1UP during PAX East, but the Co-Optimus video crew also managed to snag some face time with the studio's one and only developer Nathan Fouts.
We rather enjoyed the first HD remake of Serious Sam. While it offered little more than prettier graphics, the 16 player co-op on PC and 4 player co-op on XBLA made the game a total mindless blast. So we're happy to report that Croteam, Devolver Digital and Majesco are all involved with bringing out a remake of Serious Sam The Second Encounter to both PC and XBLA.
Your access to Halo 2's online multiplayer may be ending on Thursday, but Friday we're firing up Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST for a co-op night unlike any others. We'll be joining the Waypoint crew to help everyone get those long lost collectible items like Skulls in Halo 3 and Audio Logs in ODST.
Splinter Cell Conviction is sneaking onto stores shelves this week, and while the game has the return of Sam Fisher in single player, it also boasts robust co-op multiplayer options. To celebrate the launch we'll be having a co-op night on Tax Day in America, April 15th. Read on to join up!
