It's been sometime since we've heard from Skate 3. In fact, we haven't heard anything about it since we covered the community day back in November of last year. With a few months left till release, fresh media and info is starting to ollie on in.
Super Monkey Ball and the first sequel were among my favorite games for the Gamecube. My family and I spent hours and hours getting those adorable little monkeys where they needed to be. The minigames, too, were a whole heap of fun. The Wii's Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz just didn't have the same charm, for some reason. The newest game in the series, Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll, adds in co-op, which is certainly a step in the right direction.
It was almost four years ago the Microsoft touted their Live Anywhere concept at E3 2006. The idea was simple, you'd have access to your friends lists, achievements, messages and other Live related activities on your mobile phone or other device. Since then it has all but disappeared...until now.
Incoming intel Agent...still in search of those illusive agility or secret orbs? Trying to finish off those stunt rings? Just want to blow stuff up with a friend? Then Crackdown co-op night is your answer. This month for the three year anniversary of the game we take to the streets.
Dawn of Discovery released last year on the PC to great critical praise. Part Sim City, part, Civilization and part Caesar, the game not only looked beautiful; it was incredibly addictive.

There's a trio of co-op titles out this week across multiple platforms.
As the wizard, thief and knight gaze into the middle distance, perhaps their sense of reflection is brought on by the news that Frozenbyte, the creators of Trine, have mentioned on their online forums that a 360 version of the game:
It's an abbreviated issue of Beyond Co-Op this month, as several of the staff have found themselves indisposed for one reason or another. Still, we've found time to bring you three solid reviews of titles you don't want to miss. Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories await!
Playstation 3 owners with North American PSN accounts can download flOw on PSN for free today until 9pm PST. That only gives you guys about four more hours to get a jump on this deal, so get jumping! (Note: this deal does not include the expansion)
Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, a weekly piece that talks about industry stories that may or may not be related to co-op gaming.
Microsoft's X10 has come and gone, and as Peter Molyneux promised, Fable 3 has been revealed. Lionhead's Molyneux also promised you'd be super pissed about one of the game's features, but it appears even the nega-hype generated by one of the industries greatest minds also falls short of expectations.
