After a lengthy wait, we finally have some co-op information. Yooka-Laylee won plenty of attention and a sizeable crowdfunding purse back in 2015 thanks to its promise of reviving Banjo-Kazooie style 3D platforming. Multiplayer was mentioned, and now we know what to expect.
Last night we went back and checked out the recently updated Orcs Must Die! Unchained, which is now up to beta version 1.7. If you missed the news, the game has recently retooled itself dropping all PvP elements and strictly becoming a co-op (PvE) affair.
Circuit Breakers is a classic twin stick shooter that belongs in an upright cabinet with a ring of snot-nosed kids yelling at the screen. (That's a compliment.) Since we no longer live in the age of big hair, we get to experience the same arcade awesomeness at home. Where it's quiet. And joysticks aren't covered in unidentified sticky substances.
Just a meager handful of games were shown off at the Nintendo Switch unveiling this January. Disappointing, but some publishers have stepped up to show their support for the portable/console system. Days after the presentation, Ubisoft announced three games for Switch, one of which is a definitive edition of our favorite armless co-op experience, Rayman Legends.
There is nothing quite like nestling down somewhere comfortable and having some time to relax. Normally a book would help, or perhaps just have a nap, but the developers of Sniper Elite 4 prefer to take a rifle with them!

Tom Clancy's The Division continues to be supported by Ubisoft with consistent patches, updates, and content since it launched almost exactly a year ago. The latest update is dubbed 1.6 and featured some balancing tweaks and changes, but also some new content and one major change.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's first multiplayer DLC is out today exclusively on the PlayStation 4. It contains four new multiplayer maps to battle on; including Dominion - a re-imagining of the Modern Warfare 2 fan-favorite Afghan. Neon, the “Z”-shaped digital city, Noir, Brooklyn at night, and Renaissance, the idyllic canals of Venice, Italy.
Rally racing is a team effort, with drivers and co-drivers working together to navigate intricate racing courses. Codemaster's DiRT Rally is getting an exclusive co-op mode on PS4 thanks to the PlayStation VR.
Do you ever watch a trailer for a vintage inspired game and think it does not provide enough information? Well, fear not as the new trailer for Double Dragon IV waxes lyrical on the game's paper thin premise and vast array of enemy types.
It's hard to believe this site is almost 10 years old. Video games have changed a lot since January of 2008 when we launched. The Xbox 360 was just hitting its stride, online multiplayer was taking off on consoles, and many gamer's horizons were just beginning to expand into the realms of social gaming.
Developer YachtClubGames have announced that Shovel Knight will be launching on Nintendo's Switch console this March alongside the Specter of Torment DLC. "But Co-Optimus, Shovel Knight doesn't have co-op, why do we care?" Oh-ho-ho! In even better news it's been announced that two player local co-op is coming to Shovel Knight&...
If modern games has taught us one thing, it is that during the inevitable zombie apocalypse we have a better chance of survival if we stick together as a co-op foursome. Left 4 Dead had the right idea, as does How to Survive 2, now coming to consoles in February.
