You might have noticed something a bit unusual about the songs recently released for Lips, the Xbox 360's answer to the Singstar series. It appears that some songs are just a bit more expensive than others. Here's an example:
In case you hadn't heard IO Interactive, the studio that brought us Hitman and Kane and Lynch, has had a change of heart in their style. What does this mean? IO interactive plans on releasing a cartoon-ish ninja-action game called Mini Ninjas sometime in the near future, and who doesn't want to be a Mini Ninja?
Remember when we told you that Killzone 2 was dropping any hope of having a co-op mode? Looks like that mistake has cost Guerilla Games dearly. How so? In the latest issue of mens magazine Maxim, they review both 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand and the upcoming PS3 exclusive Killzone 2.
Don't call it a patch, it's a title update. Whatever you want to call it, it fixes a ton of glitches and bugs that have been plaguing Gears of War 2's online multiplayer. While these issues have been holding the game back in the Live domination standings, most of these are for the game's online competitive mode. That's not to say there isn't anything here for us co-op players - there's numerous fixes for Horde mode as well as some new achievements.
Perhaps you live in sunny Florida, or balmy California, and are wishing for that magical winter wonderland of snow. Or, maybe you live in the permafrost in Siberia and just like to play snowboarding games. Either way, you now have a few more clothing options when playing Shaun White Snowboarding. The totally appropriately named "Freebie Pack" is now available on both Xbox Live and the Playstation Network. What do you get for free? Well, twelve new items of clothing and nine new boards, that's what. (Insert gift horse phrase here.)
Pandemic Studios, the developers of Lord of the Rings: Conquest, are hosting a week long game with developers session for the aforementioned title.

The event takes place only on the Xbox 360 and promises to have developers playing all gameplay modes - which we assume includes the 2 player co-op mode.
Ghostbuster games have a long and arduous history. From their days on the Atari up until the most recent iterations, it's been quite some time since we've seen a new game. So when a small developer named Zootfly released footage onto the unsuspecting masses of YouTube in 2006 - the internet and fans erupted. This was the game everyone wanted.
Question: What's better than playing co-op games with your boyfriend or girlfriend? Answer: Playing co-op games with your husband or wife!
The upcoming Gears of War 2 patch that we told you about last week is going to have a nice bonus in it. Well, I should clarify it's a nice bonus if you forked over some MS Points for the available map packs.
The fine folks at Relic Enterainment have announced that the upcoming Co-Op RTS Dawn of War 2 has gone goooooooooold. Like we said, the entire game is playable in co-op, which includes branching storylines throughout the campaign. The game is built on Relic's Essence 2.0 engine, the same one found in their Company of Heroes series.
If you are looking for a little something extra to play on your day off of work, perhaps a great deal on a top notch co-op PC game will fill the void? Steam is offering Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for only $9.99 with three bonus maps.
Harken back to my golden age of gaming, a time when the Sega Genesis and SuperNES were head to head in the console wars. There was a game genre that sparked my love of co-op, one that seems to have all but disappeared. From Altered Beast to Golden Axe, Streets of Rage to Double Dragon - the co-op beat em up games were the cream of the crop in co-op experiences. The concept of these games was simple - partner up with a friend and punch, kick and attack everything in your path. They were challenging, fun, and over the top; but once 3D games became popular they all but disappeared.
