If you tuned into our Monday night stream this week, you may have noticed we were playing some new characters in the cooperative roguelike/dungeon crawler, Dunegon of the Endless. Developer Amplitude Studios added the familiar Team Fortress 2 characters to the game for FREE; that's right, if you own the game, just fire it up and play as the Pyro, Heavy, Medic, or Engineer.
It's been a weird road for legendary developer Koji Igarashi. He made some genre-defining classics back in the PS1 days before getting trapped into a perpetual development cycle. Then he spent the last few years locked in a broom closet at Konami, toiling away on cell phone games until he broke free, only to pitch an ultra-successful Kickstarter oozing with nostalgia.
At this point the Steam Sale has gotten so large, it's almost impossible for us to wrangle our heads around the daily deals on cooperative games. There are literally hundreds of games on sale everyday and your best bet is to simply add what you're looking for to your wish list and check that everyday at 1PM Eastern when the new daily sales trigger.
Wii U game libraries are pretty desolate when it comes to co-op experiences.

Hm? What's that? Something about Atari's reboot of the classic survival horror game made you think it should be a purely solo experience? Pah, shows what you (and everybody else) knows. Alone in the Dark: Illumination has hit Steam only about six months behind schedule, but because it's got a spiffy co-op mode, we'll let the delay slide.
The iconic clown masks of PAYDAY are literally the face of the franchise, so having as many mask options available to players is important. In the upcoming PAYDAY 2: Crimewave Edition, players will have literally dozens of masks to choose from to bring into a heist and personalize their co-op gameplay.
If you're still a little iffy about the current generation of consoles, but are looking for one of the most anticipated titles this year, then look no further than Call of Duty: Black Ops 3!

It was always bound to happen, wasn't it? The computers, in their infinite efficient glory, were always going to replace us puny mortals in the workforce. The upcoming four player co-op game, Hollowpoint, just moved the timeline forward a few years.
The top-down old school arcade shooter Meltdown has just gotten a bit more futuristic. A recent update to the PC version of the game added support for Oculus Rift, bringing a touch of virtual reality to the sci-fi game. Don't worry, co-op is cross-platform, so you don't really have to cram your buddies into a single Rift.
Developers n-Space and Digital Extremes have announced that upcoming D&D-based RPG, Sword Coast Legends, will be coming to PS4 and Xbox One. Now owners of these consoles can join up with PC, Mac, and Linux gamers to await this tactical, party-based game.
