It's a good week to go outside, unless you live west of the Rockies. If it's in triple digits on your porch you may want to sit inside and wonder about the life choices you've made and how the consequences have resulted in your home being surrounded by a hell-ravaged nightmare (check out the RealFeel). If you live in a place where the air hasn't caught fire, congratulations. Enjoy the 4th.
A new Sonic game is on the horizon, and with it comes a great opportunity for cooperative play. Sonic: Lost World is slated for release on the 3DS and the WIi U on an undetermined date. In a recent interview with Nintendo World Report, Producer Takashi iizuka confirmed that the games will contain different multiplayer modes between the two platforms.
It's hard to believe that PlayStation Plus's instant game collection is over a year old. When Sony announced it's premium service and promised free games, discounts and exclusives - many were doubtful. But 64 free games and thousands of dollars of discounts later, there are a lot of believers.
Sega continues its push to release 3D remakes of its classic games on Nintendo 3DS. 3D Altered Beast has already hit Japan, bringing with it enhanced gameplay features along with two player local co-op. Recently the Australian Classification Board leaked a listing for another oldie turned new: 3D Streets of Rage!
Vita owners were more than a little disappointed with the lack of Vita-related news at E3 2013, but a little PixelJunk might cheer everyone up. Double Eleven recently announced it will be handling a remake of the PlayStation 3 and PSP tower defense game, titled PixelJunk Monsters: Ultimate HD.
At Co-Optimus we love ourselves a bit of Tom Clancy, especially of the Rainbow Six variety, but with that series in limbo what has the Tomster got for us instead? We have already seen something from the upcoming Tom Clancy's The Division, but how does the co-op work and is it more PvP? Ubisoft try to explain...
It was just last week we learned that the Xbox One would forgo including a headset in the box for online chat. Instead the system would rely on its Kinect peripheral for your voice chatting needs. For a myriad of reasons this isn't ideal, but perhaps more eye opening is the fact that existing 3rd party headsets would not work with the Xbox One. So we did what any good site would do, we hit up our community.
One of the lures of ARPGs is character specialization via skill point distribution. In the Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing not only can players spec the main character, but companion character Katarina as well. The newest DLC for the game, entitled Blue Blood, adds a whole new skill tree for Katarina.
Looking for a way to spend your Saturday afternoon? You're in luck! A handful of independent developers have teamed up to show off their games, chat with fans, and, hopefully, get some support for their game on Steam Greenlight.

The list of games, which can be found after the break, includes a number of cooperative titles, including FORCED, Retrobooster, and BroForce. So hop on over to the live stream to check out a few titles and show some support.
This weekend a few of us are getting the heck out of Dodge for vacation and romantic getaways. It's summer time. Find a pool and bake.
More free Soul Sacrifice DLC dropped this week. I finally pried myself away from the Vita version of Hotline Miami (Beyond Co-Op Review forthcoming) long enough to check it out. I nearly forgot how easy it is to pick up and play Comcept's twisted fantasy game. I jumped in, linked up with some randoms, sacrificed the souls of a few monsters, swiped some Lacrima, and was on my way. Smooth.
Freakin’ Sweet. A game based on a popular Fox cartoon, what could possibly go wrong? I mean, The Simpsons Game was great wasn’t it? Futurama: The Game? Perhaps, Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse will be the rose amongst these thorns.
