Well, it looks like the Pandemic is setting its eyes on another classic series. With their success with the massive battle-fest that was Star Wars Battlefront, they have decided to create a spiritual successor to the superb Battlefront series. That game is The Lord of the Rings: Conquest. IGN has kindly detailed the game, which will feature the epic battles depicted in the movies and will have players fighting Balorgs, Sauron, and the like. So what's the co-op appeal?

Weak Co-Op Gaming: After playing through the addictive adventure mode, I was looking for a similar experience to share with my son. Unfortunately I didn't get one. The co-op levels felt more like something meant for training or to show off the tech than for fun.

Free Radical has been long known for their interesting first person shooter experiences as developers of the Time Splitters franchise.  Their latest game, a Playstation 3 exclusive titled Haze, is about to be released after months of delays. 

It's the culmination of just about every Nintendo franchise ever - as well as many classic characters from other games. And the best part? Super Smash Bros Brawl features cooperative play!  Sonic? Check.  Mario?  Check.  Solid Snake? Uh..check!

In an effort to further the cause of co-op gaming, we have no launched our Official Facebook Page as well as a Facebook Group.   So if you are a member of Facebook, be sure to become of fan of the page or join our group to help spread the word! 

The next chapter of Capcom’s Rocketmen: Axis of Evil is coming! Rocketmen: It Came from Your Uranus, an expansion to the original digitally-distributed title, will be available through Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PlayStation Network Store on Wednesday, May 14 and Thursday, May 15 respectively. For 400 points on Xbox LIVE or $4.95 on PlayStation Network, Rocketmen fans will have access to new maps, weapons, and enemies.

It seems that Capcom accidentally revealed the expansion, though this is far from common in our modern gaming world. However, accidentally revealed or not, the expansion, which adds three new weapons, two new secondary weapons, a few new levels, as well as many new enemies, is arriving shortly. For a quick recap on Rocketmen, check out our review for the original game.

One game that was instantly a standout title for me on the Playstation 3 was Super Stardust HD.  It's a unique mix of Geometry Wars style action meets Asteroids boulder dodging.  The absolute best thing about the game was plugging in a second controller and blasting some baddies and rocks with a buddy.  One problem, it was sort of busted. 

The solo campaign features four-player jump-in co-op, which includes its own particular set of challenges.

Only one co-op game on the horizon for this week, but it should be an interesting title as it's the first of a collaborative effort between Steven Spielberg and Electronic Arts.  Boom Blox is a platformer/puzzle style game and features up to 4 players in co-op mode to work together.  The game is a family oriented title for the Wii.

Now from the latest interview with Siliconera, the developers of Bionic Commando Rearmed for the XBLA and PSN have let slip there is no online play in the game...none.  Not in co-op... not in "multiplayer"; no online play at all.   You are limited to local play only on a single box.

Like a huge stone ball in a certain deserted temple, the highly anticipated release of the new Indiana Jones film is fast approaching.  The game tie in, based on the classic Indy movies, has launched a spiffy new website.  Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures will join the popular Lego series of games this summer.  The website...

If you read our Sierra Event Preview then you already read the dissapointing news that the upcoming Ghostbusters game will not feature any story based cooperative play.  It's very dissapointing for sure, especially given the co-op nature of the Ghostbusters team.  DarkZero has a quote from John O'Keefe, the director of the game, about why they chose to not include co-op through the campaign.
