Second Extinction, the three player co-op dinosaur action survival game just hit Xbox Game Pass this month. But the Co-Opticrew felt it was time to dive in and check out the Steam version, which has been in early access since late last year. Last night's stream didn't quite go as planned, but boy, we had some fun.

It's time once again to stop Curien, this time with high resolution textures and models. SEGA's famous light gun shooter arcade game, The House of the Dead, is back in a remake for Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia. The House of the Dead: Remake is launching in 2021.

It's been a while since a game was so divisive as Outriders amongst the Co-Optimus team. We've been checking the game out since the beta/demo in early March and even then we had some concerns. Now a few weeks post full launch we've gotten more time with the game and it's time give our thoughts.

Let's face it, the Alien franchise is made for co-op play. Specifically those that are derivitive of the second movie. And while we've had the likes of Alien vs. Predator, and Aliens: Colonial Marines, we've still been waiting for that truly special experience. Enter Aliens: Fireteam a 3rd person action game from Cold Iron Studios set 23 years after the events of Alien 3.

After what was called an "indefinite delay," Watch Dogs: Legion co-op mode is now available on PC alongside the already release co-op mode available on consoles. Alongside of this is the release of the Tactical Ops Missions, raid-like scenarios are bigger and more challenging end game activities that Ubisoft suggests only groups of four or more take on.
Serious Sam 2 has been out for 15 years, but that hasn't stopped developer Croteam from adding to the game to celebrate the Serious Sam franchise's 20 year anniversary. The new content includes a weapon, a dozen multiplayer maps, and several quality of life improvements.
We've already had an extensive hands on preview with It Takes Two early last month. The game, if you didn't know, is a co-op platformer and adventure by Hazelight Studios.
