Do you have a significant other and no current plans for Valentine's Day?  Why not spend some time with the most relationship-building experience out there:  co-op videogames?

You may recall a certain free-to-play FPS that came out 7 years ago (7 YEARS?!) called Blacklight: Retribution. I know, I know... in video game terms, we might as well be talking about the Sega CD. Anyways, developer Hardsuit Labs recently posted that they will be shutting down the servers for the PC version next month, after which you'll no longer be able to play the game. As often seems to be the trend these days with these sort of "games as a service" getting shut down, all premium items in the PC store will be free so you can just go nuts.

As snow and cold gusts blow across the U.S., it’s the perfect time to stay inside and get some MMO gaming in. This month for MMOCO we’ll be looking at TERA’s console plans for 2019, a release of Guild Wars’ “Complete Collection” pack, and a currently ongoing event in Elder Scrolls Online. TERA Previews 2019&rs...

Hello, and welcome to the Co-Opticrew's humble abode, where sequels and only sequels are on the menu.  We've got a few spinoffs in play as well, but for this weekend, most staff members know what they like and simply want more of it.

The Battlefield series traditionally hasn't had much in the way of co-op gameplay, but that'll be changing next week with the introduction of the Combined Arms mode to Battlefield V.

As of yesterday, It's Anecdotal's couch co-op adventure title, 39 Days to Mars, can be acquired and played on your Xbox One. The game was first launched on PC via Steam back in April last year, and it will also be making its way to the Nintendo Switch sometime this year.

If you were thinking, "man, I can't wait for 'Avengers: Endgame' and would really like to hop into some Marvel games before it comes out in April," good news! Marvel/TT Games/WB Interactive Publishing just announced the LEGO Marvel Collection, which compiles LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, and LEGO Marvel's Avengers into one package, including all DLC previously released for those games. The bad news is that Disney now owns those thoughts under copyright laws, so please turn your brain over to them.

System Era Softworks' "sandbox adventure" game, Astroneer, is finally out of Early Access today and hits full 1.0! For this week's "Let's Play Co-Op," we decided to hop back in and kick the tires (and dig some holes underneath said tires).

By the end of March, we will not be in short supply of "loot shooters." Destiny 2 has seen a resurgence thanks to the "Forsaken" expansion and the steady roll-out of content ever since, Bioware's Anthem drops in just a couple weeks, and Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is just a month away from hitting the scene. If the latter's more "realistic" take on the genre (i.e., you're not shooting lasers or flying around in mech suits), and want to check it out before March 15, then you've got a little bit of time to try and get into the Private Beta that starts tomorrow.

Crackdown 3's release is just 9 days away, and to celebrate, we now have the official launch trailer for a game that was originally announced in 2015. Don't expect any radical differences here between the previous two games - you still have a powerful "Agent" that takes on gangs of enemies in a neon filled city given free reign to blow up and shoot up everything in sight.

The popular chef'em'up, Overcooked! 2, has been pumping out that sweet, sweet content since its release back in August of last year, and that wonderful tradition continues today.

On February 5th, the cutest of internet creatures will be gracing us with their presence thanks to the PlayStation 4 exclusive, Melbits World.  As everyone knows, Melbits are responsible for maintaining good vibes on the World Wide Web, but they can't do it alone!  You and up to three friends must do your part in ensuring these lil' cuties get where they're needed most (like fan forums and YouTube comment sections, presumably).
