Are those mean ol' bots onto your tricks? Do you ever feel like your decks just can't cut it? Get ready to get the jump on those soulless machines with stuff they ain't ever seen before. Two additional decks are available now for Magic 2014- Duels of the Planeswalkers for Xbox Live, PSN, Steam, iOS and Android devices for $2.99. The cardsmiths down at Wizards of the Coast are still cranking out new stuff 20 years after the original release, and the virtual stuff gets its, too. 

Bundle time! Now that the guilt accrued from holiday spending and Steam sales has waned, the folks at Indie Royale are ready encourage your wallet to fall open once again. This time it's The Choices 2013 Bundle, and among its featured titles are two co-op games you may have heard us gushing about in the past year.

What if we told you that there's a new co-op shooter game currently in development that combines elements of both Left 4 Dead and Shadow of the Colossus? No, we aren't joking around here, it's already a year in the making. Bringing together various developers from Crytek, Ubisoft, and even Adhesive Games (the creators of Hawken), Outrise aims to include a mashup of these two extremely popular video games in what seems to be the best ways imaginable.

I'll bet DC's Finest, at least in the world of Payday 2, really fear the 1973 musical number "Send in the Clowns," since they tend to get mowed down in truckloads whenever clowns show up. And who better to revel in the slaughter of law enforcement than the craziest, most on-fire clown of them all, Sweet Tooth? Stephen King's It has nothing on this painted mass-murderer. He drives around in an icecream truck which, instead of doling out sweets, dispenses rocket propelled grenades.

LittleBigPlanet 2 has been around for quite some time now, but this excellent 4 player co-op title is still getting premium DLC.  The latest comes in the form of DC Superheroes, dress as your favorite heroes and villains, but also get new assets and skills to play with.

Just this morning, new toys in the Skylander: Swap Force character line were made available to the public. One would think that it's just another two characters to use in game, amongst the dozens already released. However, these two in particular are necessary to complete sections of the game previously untapped.

What would make an already ridiculous game like Saints Row IV even more ridiculous? Anime. Naturally. Available now, the Anime Pack includes on male and female costume, a sword, and a gun. 

If you find yourself low on Estus flasks and happen to be in little ol' Tokyo feel free to pop on in to the newly established Dark Souls Cafe and kick off your boots at a bonfire. Yes, you read that correctly. Where else but Japan could you open up a cafe based on a video game where dying is a major mechanic?

Far Cry 3 was a great game offering 4 player combo co-op across offline and online, we covered the game at Co-Optimus Towers.  However, the other games in the series also rocked pretty hard (yet they lacked co-op).  You will soon be able to get your Far Cry on with the upcoming PS3 complication containing Far Cry 2, 3 and Blood Dragon.

Welcome to our 2013 Co-Op GOTY episode. Listen to the crew weigh in on our favorite games of last year, a peak at what's coming out on 2014, and chatting about what they've been playing currently.

Making the transition to the next gen consoles shouldn’t deter gamers from making solid game purchases right now, especially if they involve some fantastic co-op elements to experience. Spearhead Games’ Tiny Brains is a prime example of a game that will now offer a cross-buy promotion, allowing those who purchase it a free copy for their second console.

"Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?" To us, it's not playing the Far Cry series. And right now, if you own an Xbox 360 you can cure your insanity once and for all. Not only is Far Cry 3 75% off on Xbox Live, but so is Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Far Cry 3 Deluxe Bundle, Far Cry 2, Far Cry 2 - Fortunes Pack, and Far Cry: Instincts - Predator.
