I’ve met some of my best friends online. It wasn’t through an AOL chatroom, or a BBS message board. Even my Power Rangers Facebook group fell out of touch with each other and most of my sports teams just come together for our one game a week. One thing has remained consistent and solidified friendships in my life and that is co-op gaming.
Launching today for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, the Halo Edition mash-up pack includes tons of goodies from the Halo universe. Built by 4J Studios, the Halo theme pack includes textures, music, items, and skins. The official trailer launched this week and shows off some of the new content:
Been feeling the urge to squash aliens in co-op lately? From now until June 2nd, Xbox 360 Deals with Gold is running a sale that may just help you satisfy that urge. The list of games includes Star Trek, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Alien Hominid HD, Earth Defense Force 2025, Aliens vs. Predator, Alien Breed Evolution (Episode 1), Alien Breed 2: Assault, and Alien Breed 3: Descent.
It is a well known fact that in order to make your product more marketable to us sad, sad beings on the Internet, you should add Pirates to it. I fall on the "Ninja" side of that conflict, but Ninjas didn't make too many appearances in Italy circa 52 BCE. Perhaps due to the lack of Ninjas, Creative Assembley has announced the "Pirates and Raiders" DLC for Total War: Rome II. A little bit of Pirating never hurt anybody.
We recently news regarding Nintendo's teamup with the famous Dynasty Warriors team, Tecmo Koei, and their epic creation, Hyrule Warriors, went up a few days ago. Not only will the game feature Link battling dozens upon dozens of enemies at once, something he isn't really known for, but it will also have a 2-player local co-op mode (not really known for that either)!
The full PAX East Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel gameplay demo with narration by developers at 2K Australia and Gearbox was posted on the Borderlands' YouTube account today.

My first car was a Vauxhall Nova and the only transforming it did was when the floor fell out as I drove on the motorway. If only I had the vehicles from the new Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark gameplay trailer. The likes of Optimus Prime look fantastic, but I am not sure I would want to be involved in all this death and destruction.
There's one big game out this week for co-op fans, which sadly, doesn't seem to utilize it's potential for co-op. Overall it's going to be a quiet few weeks as E3 gears up and winds down.
For thousands of years, the Iñupiat people passed their stories from generation to generation. These stories helped them understand how the world worked as well as their place within it. But stories are useless unless their knowledge is shared. This is why Never Alone exists. Developer Upper One Games is working with Alaska Native storytellers and elders to turn their folklore into an interactive world.
Hey look! It's a cooperative twin stick shooter with a description that doesn't include the words "gritty" or "World War 2"! Tango Fiesta from Spilt Milk Studios is a wild and colorful parody heading to Steam Early Access June 4th. It's got fully destructible environments, procedurally generated levels, online co-op, and a character named Bionic Cop. That's basically all we needed to know.
