There's still no release date for the Castle Crashers port to the PlayStation Network, other than "hopefully sometime this year". The Behemoth really seems to be polishing this game up for PSN users, in addition to developing a brand new game for the Xbox Live Arcade.
Tragnarion Studios has announced that the first two episodes of their four player co-op shooter, The Scourge Project, will be released this March via Steam. The game was originally slated to release last year, but has since been delayed. An Xbox Live Arcade versions is still being planned as well.
The franchise that brought voice chat to the PlayStation 2 and once stood toe-to-toe with Halo gets another crack at it. Will a new developer and four-player co-op be enough to put some wind in the SOCOM sails?
Here we go again with another one of those good news, bad news posts. The good news? The Wii version of Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands will feature two player co-op. The bad news? It sounds very much as if the co-op is... well... B.Y.O.B.
Right now you can snag DJ Hero on the Xbox 360, with the included hardware, for only $60. That price is almost half of what the game launched for last year. The PlayStation 3 version is also on sale for $80.
Last year during E3, THQ and Relic unveiled an action game set in the Warhammer 40k universe. It was called Space Marine, and by all accounts it was Dawn of War 2 from a 3rd person perspective.

Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce looks to change the genre the series helped define by adding online co-op, in depth character customization, and plenty of Yellow Turbans to smack down. Ok, scratch that last part, that's the same. We check out Koei's latest in our co-op review.
Batman Arkham Asylum was a great game, sure, but it was lacking co-op. It wasn't exactly the most kid-friendly title, either. The next Batman game will be on the opposite end of the Dark Knight spectrum, adding in 2 player co-op and tying in to Cartoon Network's Batman The Brave and the Bold show. The show itself is incredible, featuring a square-jawed, Silver Age art style along with dozens of guest appearances by other DC heroes.
