Hmm, a few of our staff seem to be MIA. Perhaps they've died of Dark Souls overdose. Let's see what the rest of the staff has on their gaming plates this weekend, shall we?

Turtlerock Studios have given Evolve the John Madden Treatment by talking over gameplay. This particular video features footage from their new map, The Distillery. While we don't know what's being distilled there, we do know there's a real nasty monster zooming around the map and chewing up hunters. Granted, this feels more like watching a narrated MLG match than devs describing gameplay features, but there's nothing wrong with that.

Just a few days after the pre-orders and spiffy Gold Edition details were announced, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have released a launch trailer for Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, the sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Watch closely for some hot four player co-op action.

Bungie have released a brand new trailer for Destiny, their online cooperative shooter set to hit in just over 3 weeks. While the Alpha and Beta for the game showed us sections of Earth and the Moon (where the wizard is from), we didn't get a glimpse of the red planet, Mars. 

Raise your hand if you were just thinking "Hey, I'd like to shoot some giant alien insect things using an upgradeable electro-gun with my friends this weekend, but I don't want to pay any money to do so, but if I did I'd like to pay something like 85% less." Boy do we have a coincidence for you.

When Mass Effect 3 finally received the series long rumored co-op mode, many folks were shocked. They didn't want their epic single player RPG tainted with multiplayer. Luckily Bioware found a way to work co-op into the game that made it completely optional, and best of all, it was an absolute blast to play.

Today, developer Hidden Path Entertainment announced their official date for releasing Defense Grid 2 on PC, Mac, Linus, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One! Players can look forward this awesome looking Tower Defense title this coming September 23rd!

We've had a handful of t-shirts over the years, but today we're launching something a bit different. In a partnership with TeePublic we're launching a T-Shirt store with carefully curated designs that promote cooperative gaming. Whether the theme is Borderlands 2, Dark Souls or Ninja Turtles, if we think a t-shirt exudes the idea of "playing together" we'll feature it in our TeePublic Store.

Activision has rebirthed the Sierra brand, a classic PC publisher name from the 1990 to 2000s. The goal is to push unique and smaller titles to the masses. The first game that will be published under that label is Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, a sequel to the popular franchise that was birthed inside a racing game on the original Xbox. 

In a few months, Turtle Rock Studios is going to launch their latest game, Evolve, looking to combine many elements that I fell in love with in their previous work, Left 4 Dead. In many ways, I look at this new game as an opportunity for developer to shape yet another generation of gamers into co-op lovers just like me. Therefore, I've decided ...

With more games slipping than an ice sliding convention it may be the previous generation owners who get the biggest kick this year with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.  This new trailer introduces the four playable heroes and Handsome Jack does not like you chances.

In The Crew, the entire US is your racetrack. A new trailer released on Wednesday shows off different locations and mission types you'll encounter in the game.
