Most of the Co-Opticrew are up to their usual, open-to-the-public antics, but a couple of us are participating in highly sensitive video game tests. What are they doing in said tests? Why do you want to know? Are you a video game cop? You have to tell us if you're a video game cop.
We really tried our hardest to get a good solid co-op stream together for you fine folks with Chroma Shift, a very co-op game through and through. Unfortunately Jason's laptop had other ideas about his ability to play video games. Still, we managed to pull through with the help of Locke problem solving from Canada.
If you're enjoying all free games that are part of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass, but also wondering when they'll be adding a new co-op title to that mix, good news! Rebellion's four player co-op FPS, Strange Brigade, has been added to the program.
Thunder Louts Games' Eldritch horror meets Metroidvania title, Sundered, is getting a nice little update this month. The game was initially single-player only when it was released back in July 2017 for the PC and PlayStation 4, that's all going to change very soon.
Ghost Recon Wildlands is pretty deep into its second year of scheduled content drops, much of which has been available at no cost to its players. Special Operation 3, a new themed co-op mission, will be no different when it arrives for free on December 11th.
The Balance, Inc's giant mech fighting game, Override: Mech City Brawl, is out today for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. There's a single-player campaign and you can duke it out 1 v 1 against another human, or you can gather three of your best friends and make like you're out to defeat the Galra Emprie as you each control part of a giant mech in the Party Co-Op mode.
Originally slated for a 2018 release, Piranha Games' MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries was bumped to 2019 this past June with the promise that a firm release date would be announced at the annual MechCon. Well this past weekend, the mechs descended upon Vancouver and revealed they'd be storming the world September 10 next year.
The newest LEGO movie has officially received a game to go along with it and, if there was any confusion which Lego Movie )(and game) came first, the latter’s formal title is The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, ironing out any and all misunderstandings. The newly announced title is set for a 2019 release across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch and PC, although the exact release date remains unknown. However, as The LEGO Movie 2 film is set for a February release, it is safe to say that expecting the video game to release near that time is very likely.
Gaijin Entertainment’s War Thunder has a lot of different types of fighting going on in every match, but the one thing that has been missing are Italian ground forces. Thankfully, the newest update looks to add land vehicles of various shapes and size to the Italian army.
The Co-Opticrew just can't escape its collective obsession with increasing numbers. Whether it's the fifth, fourth, or second entry in a series, we are always 100% on board. Maybe that explains Eric's obsession with Speed 2: Cruise Control, or why Jason has worn the same Batman & Robin promotional t-shirt for the last 20 years. Seriously, though, Jason... that thing is ripe.
If you've been itching to try out BioWare's jetpack loot shooter, Anthem, then it's time to pull that slot machine lever and hope for the best!

The sign ups end on Monday, December 3, and the alpha runs on December 8 and 9, so if you manage to get in, be sure to clear your calendar next weekend.
Guacamelee! 2, the sequel to one of our favorite titles of 2013, has been available since August of this year and allows players to power-bomb all new enemies in all new environments. One of the main ways the game spices up its four player local co-op is through the use of different "skins", which each player can select and use to alter their playstyle.
